What it helps you decide
Convert a Brix reading and plan sugar-solution dilution.
Liquid formulation
Move between Brix, specific gravity, sugar concentration, and dilution.
Plan syrups, lemonades, craft sodas, kombucha, sauces, and other sugar solutions from one measured Brix value.

Your numbers
Solution reading
Use the filled example first. Then replace each field with a measured value or your best current estimate.
Step 1Answer one question at a time. Your example values stay available.
Important limit
Correct for the actual product matrix.
Acids, alcohol, dissolved minerals, pulp, temperature, and non-sucrose solids change refractometer and density relationships. Use product-specific measurements for controlled production.

How to use the Brix, Specific Gravity & Concentration Converter
Convert a Brix reading and plan sugar-solution dilution. The calculator runs privately in your browser and is designed to make the assumptions behind the answer visible.
What to have ready
Bring measured starting and finished weights, temperatures or readings, validated process assumptions, and the unit used in your production record.
Key inputs: Measured Brix; Current solution volume; Target Brix after dilution; Reading temperature.
How to use the result
Use the output to plan a trial or reconcile yield. Release decisions still require your validated process, calibrated measurements, and food-safety controls.
