The reason is obvious from what has been said of the test by the optical saccharometer.    From Wordnik.com.  [Scientific American Supplement, No. 315, January 14, 1882] Reference

This is a hard time for almost any man, who feels his random mind dipped into with a spirit-gauge and a saccharometer.    From Wordnik.com.  [Mary Anerley] Reference

The saccharometer will indicate the amount of sugar in the must, and its use is so simple, that every one can soon become familiar with it.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Cultivation of The Native Grape, and Manufacture of American Wines] Reference

For making the test the usual weight should be taken (16.35 grammes for Duboscq's saccharometer, and 26.048 grammes for Ventzke's instrument).    From Wordnik.com.  [Scientific American Supplement, No. 315, January 14, 1882] Reference

The presence of starch glucose in sugar-house molasses may be easily detected by the optical saccharometer when the sirup has the usual density of about 40° B., and when starch sugar has been added in the usual quantities.    From Wordnik.com.  [Scientific American Supplement, No. 315, January 14, 1882] Reference

However, this difficulty will soon be overcome; and, indeed, although it is impossible to practice gallizing without a saccharometer, we may get at the surplus of acids with tolerable certainty by the results shown by the saccharometer.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Cultivation of The Native Grape, and Manufacture of American Wines] Reference

The raw juice of maize, when cultivated for sugar, marks 10° on the saccharometer, while the average of cane juice (as I am informed) is not higher than 8°, and beet juice not over 3°.    From Wordnik.com.  [Resources of the Southern Fields and Forests, Medical, Economical, and Agricultural.

To this quantity of uncrystallizable sugar this juice owes its facility of readily fermenting, and "consequently the large amount of alcohol it produces compared with the saccharine matter, observed directly by the saccharometer.".    From Wordnik.com.  [Resources of the Southern Fields and Forests, Medical, Economical, and Agricultural.

In such light and moist alluvial soil the latter will grow to a great size, and will yield a large quantity of juice in which the saccharometer may stand well; but the degree of strength indicated will proceed from an immense proportion of mucilage, which will give much trouble in the cleansing during boiling; and the sugar produced must be wanting in dryness and fine color.    From Wordnik.com.  [Eight Years' Wanderings in Ceylon] Reference

"The saccharometer and acidimeter, properly used, will give us the exact knowledge of what the must contains, and what it lacks; and we have the means at hand, by adding water, to reduce the acids to their proper proportion; and by adding sugar, to increase the amount of sugar the must should contain; in other words, we can change the poor must of indifferent seasons into the normal must of the best seasons in.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Cultivation of The Native Grape, and Manufacture of American Wines] Reference
