Because the Brix scale is an assessment of specific gravity the reading is sensitive to temperature. The observed Brix reading can be corrected for temperature using the following scale. The Brix scale is set for a temperature of 20 C, below this temperature the solution is less dense than the reading indicates so the table gives the value to subtract to obtain the equivalent Brix value at 20 C. At higher temperatures the solution is more dense than the reading indicates so the table gives you the value to add to adjust the Brix.
