Tried searching, but almost every scale thread I can find revolves around scales for all-grain measuring, and don't talk too much about the needed resolution. I'm looking for a scale to be used primary for weighing sugar, hops, and for the wife to scale down large cooking recipes. If I go AG eventually, I'd buy a separate scale.
I found the American Weigh BL-1KG-BLK (max 1000g, 0.1g increments) at Amazon for $9.49 shipped. Looks good to me. Very similar to the American Weight blade scale (max 600g, 0.1g increments) sold at More Beer, but at less than 1/3rd the price.
Alternatively, I can get the American Weigh BL2-100-BLK (max 100g, 0.01g increments) for $14.29.
I'm going to get the first one because the 100g limit on the second seems limiting (1 cup of granulated sugar is 189g). However, I may still buy the second one for fine measuring.
Has anybody here ever found the need for 0.01g resolution on a brewing scale?
