I am using one of them handheld refractometers that you hold up to the light to get the reading - it was recommended that I'd get a hydrometer as well to cross reference. I don't know if this is necessary a good idea as both instruments I think would report a different number anyways, and I'd be chasing a number that I don't know which is the real/most accurate one.
Curious what others here think - some I know swear by Milwaukee meters, but it's on the pricey end for me.
