- Definition
- unit for the mixing ratio of a soluble dry substance in water at 17,5 °C similar to the percent designation for solutions, in which a solution of 1 g saccharose in 100 g saccharose/ water solution corresponds to 1° Balling and respectively a one percent solution
- Note
- One degree Brix is almost identically with one degree Balling, the small difference results from the reference temperature of 15,5 °C at the Brix scale and 17,5 °C at the Balling scale. Comparable to degree Brix and degree Balling is degree Plato, which expresses the weight proportion wort in the weight of the beer, whereas the wort is the sum of all substances of content, whose bigger part consists of sugar not yet in the beer fermented . Brief designations for degree Balling like °Bal or °Bg are used rarely.
