I just purchased a new refractometer, and was surprised that no calibration
fluid was included.  The instructions call for calibration with distilled
water, but the scales don't go to 100% water / 0% sugar.

So does anyone have a simple formula for mixing sugar with distilled water
to come up with a standardized percentage - effectively home made
calibration fluid?
