In any event, the Brix scale is in percent, grams of sugar per 100 grams
of
solute. The units are (gram/gram). See....... Margalit "Concepts in
Wine
Chemistry," page 10 or...... Zoecklein "Wine Analysis and Production,"

You are correct, and the way you expressed it originally us correct, and I
am completely in error, and I already apologized to you in another post in
this thread.

I thought Brix was % sugar by weight = grams / ml x 100, but I guess (if
it
was) we wouldn't call it Brix, but %sugar.

No apology is necessary Negodki. The newsgroup is for exchanging different
ideas.
