It will probably be ok. I was just expecting it to go off quickly because of all the yeast.

It's been sitting in th fridge for a few weeks from the last brew. I took it out of the fridge hours before to let it warm up. Then I dumped it into the bucket.

Ok, so I'll just let it sit for a couple of days and see what happens.

Haha I know.

It's been about five hours now and no airlock activity. Hope the yeast aren't dead or something.

Got it. Thanks!

So that AWS scale uses a 100g calibration weight. If a clean nickel is 5g, you recommend keeping the same 20 nickels together for calibration?

What's the big deal with the 10-40g gap?

Sorry. I fixed it above.

Sorry about that. Yes, that one.

So I think I will go for his one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06W.../?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 It's a 50g, .001g scale.

Yes this was essentially the problem I was having with my 1g scale. I would pour and the weight wouldn't change. Then I wondered what the heck was going on so I would scoop the powder out and just dump it all in and it's like 5g more than before. Haha

And it's accurate? There are many reviews that say that the weight bounces around a lot.

Yeah you're right. I won't worry about it. Hopefully by tomorrow morning the yeast is awake and chewing down all the sugars!

Cheap meaning 20 bucks.

Any comments on this one? It's a 500g, .001g scale. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ME8VI34/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

I just dumped and closed the lid, to avoid infections. Yeast will probably eventually sink anyway.

Thanks, this looks like one I could use for both hops and salts. I can just use my 1g scale for grain measurements.

Yeah, 50g is probably not enough for hops, unless I do 1oz weights. But I'll check it out.

I just realized I might done something stupid. When I dumped the pint of yeast cake into the wort, I left some of it floating. Should I have stirred it in? I'm wondering if it is worth opening the fermentation bucket lid again.
