Gravity points to degrees Brix

Type a value in points to get it in °Bx instantly.

3.068°Bx

Nothing on our list is smaller: light beer wort is 2.6× sweeter. Fermented dry, that would give roughly 1.81% ABV.

What it means

How sweet is that?

Refractometer readings drift once fermentation starts, because alcohol bends light differently. Hydrometers stay honest.

The math

How to convert points to °Bx

Brix and specific gravity relate through a cubic fit: SG ≈ 1 + °Bx ÷ (258.6 − °Bx × 0.88). Potential alcohol is roughly °Bx × 0.59.

Example: 12 points = 3.06819 °Bx.
