    Abstract: A method is provided for determining a physical property of a malt beverage sample. The method includes measuring a refractive index of the malt beverage sample. The method further includes determining a temperature-compensated measured refractive index by temperature correcting the measured refractive index relative to a predetermined reference temperature. The temperature correcting is specific to the total dissolved solids of the malt beverage sample. The method also includes converting the temperature-compensated measured refractive index to a unit of measurement. The unit of measurement relates to a physical property of the malt beverage sample. Apparatus are also provided.

    Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided an optical sensor capable of detecting, identifying or measuring a property of a solid, liquid or gas which is in contact with its measuring surface. The preferred sensor comprises an optically transparent sensing element with at least one surface, an optical energy source, means for conducting optical energy from the source to the sensing element at a specific, precisely determined angle and a photodetector. The measuring surface of the sensing element forms an interface with the substance to be measured. Optical energy is partially reflected from the interface formed at the planar surface of the transparent element toward the photodetector. It has been discovered that the resulting signal from the photodetector is proportional to the refractive index of the medium covering the outer surface of the transparent element.
