Grain weighing scales
|
|
By specific scale anyone uses to weigh grains for a batch? Or do you make your own?

not sure what ^this^ means, but most LHBS sell digital scales and triple beam scales you can use to weigh grain.

Taylor Digital Black Glass Food Scale : Target
This is the scale I use. Just an average ordinary kitchen scale. Use it to weigh hops and grains. It only has a 11 lb capacity, but I just measure and add a couple times to get the weight I want. Its also only accurate down to a tenth of an ounce, so trying to weight .25 oz exactly is difficult. When I want to get .25 oz, I just weigh in the hops until it reaches .2 oz, then add the amount to make it .3 oz, then visually divide the amount I just added by half.

The UltraShip 55 lb. scale has a detachable face which makes it easy to weigh in a 5 gallon bucket without having a problem of reading the display. It was a work horse with our most recent group grain buy and did the job well.

I have the UltraShip 55 scale too. Got the AC adapter, so I don't need to worry about batteries. I do like how the face comes off, connected by a cable (2' reach I believe). Makes weighing grain in just about anything easy. I also have the stainless cover for the platform. I typically weigh into either a 5 gallon bucket, or the bucket fermenter that came with my first kit. That's as close as the bucket comes to brewing now.

Does it work with only AC and no batteries installed? I read in a random Amazon review where someone mentioned that batteries had to be installed for the AC adapter to work. That didn't sound right to me.

What is this? I haven't heard of a stainless steel cover for the scale?
