That would just be an indication of my laziness.... While you can take a hydrometer, dip it and get an instant albeit somewhat inaccurate reading,... the refractometer requires removal from the case, dripping the water, reading, then cleaning off with RO/DI water before putting away... a process that all told takes 2 mintes instead of 10 seconds.... lol
