1. A system for an automated calibration of Brix in a liquid, the system comprising:
a tank for receiving therein a volume of the liquid;
an inlet opening fluidly connected to the tank for conveying the liquid into the tank;
an outlet opening fluidly connected to the tank for evacuating the liquid from the tank;
a temperature reading apparatus for measuring a temperature of the liquid;
a weighing apparatus for measuring a weight of the volume of liquid received in the tank;
a volume measurement system for measuring the volume of the liquid received in the tank;
an evaporator fluidly connected to the tank, the reading apparatus, the weighing apparatus and the volume measurement system, the evaporator being configured to reduce the level of water in the liquid, the evaporator comprising a plurality of water injectors for spraying water to the liquid; and
A computer operatively connected to the temperature reading apparatus, the weighing apparatus, the volume measurement system and the evaporator and receiving data from same, the computer being programmed to determine a Brix measurement based on the data received from the temperature reading apparatus, the weighing apparatus, the volume measurement system and the evaporator, the computer being programmed to action at least one of the plurality of water injectors for stabilizing the temperature of the evaporator.
