Thomas, Rex, et al- I'm all for getting the brix listed on produce. But in your educated opinions, how much 'testing' of the brix levels would need to be done ...
Jody you take a grape here, a grape there until you have quite a few. Then squeeze and test the juice. You get a fair average of what the crop will be like. If...
Just so you know... In the San Joaquin Valley, California, (Late 1950's) I used to buy grapes for dehydration. To dry down to 4 to 1, we had to have grapes...
Jody, A berry is pulled at random from many different clusters, juiced together and then the brix is measured. It gives a good picture of what the average ...
A bitter carrot = old carrot to me, rancid. Couldn't the "higher" brix reading be dehydration? Potassium in cream of tartar doesn't taste bitter to me,...
Thank you Thomas for the explanations about measuring brix across a crop. As for this potassium-affecting-brix issue, are you saying this is a rather recent...

Glad to hear that they are considered organic, Mike. Somehow I figured that since they had a simple chemical formula, they weren't natural enough to be ...
I have been harping against excess potassium and the hidden potassium of compost for a while now. Potassium is the poor substitute for calcium in the cell...
Sorry Jon. Didn't mean to overlook anything you've been saying. I just don't yet practice the soil chemistry part of RBTI so comments people make pertaining to...
I tried brixing some mineral water once, and the minerals didn't seem to have much effect on the brix reading. I think you need the complex organic molecules...
Kris, Our BX-1 refractometer goes up to 32° Brix and our ConcenTrace concentrated trace mineral drops (sea water minus salt and water) brixed beyond the ...
Ryan, What it means is that the total dissolved solids in your ConcenTrace product are higher than 32 Brix. This is easy to demonstrate with any soluble ...
But those are very concentrated. I think I tried brixing a solution that could be used as a foliar spray, wondering how much the spray affected the brix levels...
