How is this done and what tools are needed? I'm going to be following a friend's recipe and instructions for a low abv beer, and borrowing the anton eastdens and smartref from work to measure sg and abv. Will I need anything else?

It will be only rough measurement, you can just take FG in °Pt (Bx) and it is %of sugar so pretty easy to calculate it.
