Scales

What do you guys use for a scale? Do pro brewers use a scale if so what do those look like?

I recently bought this one.

I've seen it sold at online brew suppliers and it seems to be pretty popular. I've only used it a couple time, but am happy so far.

I use Plato for my scale. Looks just like what the Pro's use.

These guys have about any type of scale you could imagine and their prices are very good:

You may want to get two scales. One for weighing the grain and one for more precise measurements such as with the hops. The grain scale need not be a precision digital model. Most any kitchen type spring scale would be plenty good enough. A lot of my friends have the Escali digital scale linked above and they work well for them. The price is also very good on the Escali scales.

That's what I use for grain and hops. But I just bought a jewelry scale to measure out mineral additions( it goes down to .01gram). I will be using that for hops as well.
