    Ok, this is probably going to be a really strange question. Does anyone know if you can use a refractometer that is used to measure sg in your reef tank to test the sugar content in beer for home brewers as well? I know that they make refractometers specifically for beer, but I didn't know if there was a way that one could be used for both.

    I don't believe so, I think they have different scales.

    I would suggest looking up refractometer and find a manufacturer that makes all kinds and see what they suggest.
