I got a new toy.. a refractometer. I can't seem to find how the scale (in brix?) relates to specific gravity. Where do I look?

as a rule of thumb, you can multiply by 4. It gives you a pretty close value for most beer ranges. Otherwise grab the spreadsheet from here: http://morebeer.com/learn_vids/vids_refract

Most brewing software will do the conversion for you. If you use one?
