Refractometers start to be really off once you have fruit juice and ongoing fermentation. I use mine only to see if reading is changing over time, absolute value is easily off by 20-30 g/L

I know, it is really handy for checking OG then it gets skewed by alcohol. For bottling I use my hydrometer to be sure, I just don’t want bombs.
When you measure often you can correct it, but for me it isn’t worth it.
