I believe Brix is the same scale as Balling.
Balling is on most hydrometers. Look at your hydrometer and convert
you numbers using the scale.

According to THEWINETOOL.COM, the definition is:
Brix - pronounced "bricks" - the Brix scale is a system used in the United
States (in Germany uses the Oechsle scale, and in France uses the Baum�
scale) to measure the sugar content of grapes and wine. Each degree Brix is
equivalent to 1 gram of sugar per 100 grams of grape juice. The degree of
Brix is determined by a hydrometer. The estimated alcohol that a wine will
produce (called potential alcohol) is estimated by multiplying the Brix
reading by 0.55.
