Hi ,

(Uh oh, I'm in way over my head) Umm, it's an indicator of quality.

I was just doing a reading, don't know nothin', please, somebody else,

please explain brix.

10 is low for milk. Or at least, not high.

thank you very much,

B.

You pretty much explained it. It's an indicator of nutritional quality. It's

a more precise indicator of quality when measuring produce (plant sap), but

even with milk, it is an *indicator* although with caveats. Basically, 10 is

pretty unimpressive. Store-bought milk tends to be around 12. The highest

brix milk recorded was 20. At that brix, it's supposed to knock your socks

off. We do have a chapter leader in Brazil who's been able to bring most of

his herd's brix up to 18, FWIW.

Pardon the typo, that should read " 10 " (or 11).
