Degrees Brix (°Bx) is the sugar content of an aqueous solution.

One degree Brix is 1 gram of sucrose in 100 grams of solution and represents the strength of the solution as percentage by mass.  Brix tells us the dissolved solids (percentage mass of solute to solution – grams per 100 grams)  °Bx is traditionally used in the wine, sugar, carbonated beverage, fruit juice, and honey industries.

A comparable scale for indicating sucrose content is degrees Plato (°P), which is widely used by commercial brewers as well as some home brewers.  

Once the home brewer determines the specific gravity of the solution in question, we can then take that reading and consult the conversion tables. 

If the brewer consulted the Plato tables, (which are maintained by the American Society of Brewing Chemists) then the result would be presented as °P.  If the brewer consulted the Brix tables, (which is maintained by NIST), the result would be presented as °Bx.  

From MoreBeer.com: For a precise hydrometer that measures the sugar content and progress of fermentation in wine fermentations, Check out these Brix hydrometers.  It comes with a thermometer/correction scale built-in. Note: you will need a larger cylinder with this hydrometer due to its size.
