Being a Newbie, I have thousands of questions.

Right now my question is about measuring sugar.

I understand SG, how to use a Hydrometer, and how to calculate ABV.

I also understand the BRIX to SG relationships.
Brix=261.3*(1 - 1/sg),

....

So, what method should i use?

I don't know which method you should use. I do know
that I make Mead and need to know the Brix of various
ingredients so that I can estimate OG which I measure
with a hydrometer.

One day digital hydrometers will be available so
inexpensively that there will be a hydrometer on
every fermenter.
