Anyone have recommendations for a refractometer?
Ebay ones do alright?

Like most things for measuring you will get what you pay for, buy the dearest one you can afford if you want it to be accurate and easy to read, even try an all grain driven brew shop if you have one close :handgestures-thumbupleft:

We used Atago ones when I was in the beverage industry. About $40 at a brew shop

Be aware that the refractometer will read correctly only at pre fermentation
Post fermentation and you will have to adjust your reading using a chart which requires an accurate Starting Gravity reading.
Alcohol skews the refractometer reading
