CHECKING/ADJUSTING THE BRIX SETTING
The following instructions are for use with a refractometer.
1.Dispense approximately 8 oz. (236 ml) of drink and discard. Now draw a second 8 oz. drink.
2.Check drink temperature with a reliable thermometer (target is 35-45°F, or 1.6-7.2°C). Discard
this drink after checking temperature.
NOTE: If drink temperature is not within the target range, refer to the basic troubleshooting sec-
tion. When setting up the unit with warm concentrate and hot water (90°F) it will take longer to
get the 35-45°F finished drink.
3.Dispense a 12 oz (354.8 ml) drink sample into a clean, dry cup. Thoroughly stir the sample using a
straw. (Adjustments should be made in 1/8 to 1/4 turn increments).
4.Using a straw, transfer a small sample of finished drink to the refractometer lens (refer to operating
instructions supplied with your refractometer). Check the brix reading against the brix chart below.
NOTE: The following brix chart is generic and intended for reference use only. Contact your fro-
