Would a refractometer give you a good enough reading? I could understand how it would be a lot quicker

If you are running lines so the sugar content is averaged over the the number of taps of the line and are not using an RO to check on the difference between the sap and the concentrate, I guess knowing the sugar content of raw sap would not be as important.

I personally could not answer that question as I have not used one.
