Can’t weigh grams

[MikeMetroka]

I need to convert grams, say .48g, to some other measurement. I do not have a scale and need to add the above increment for my water profile with no way to weigh.

 

[MikeMetroka]

I am referring to gypsum and calcium chloride.

You could mix up a larger amount with water then work out the dilution to get what you want by adding x ml of the mixed up solution provided its well mixed

Seriously pick up a 0 - 100g scale. real cheap and great for hops as well as water additions.

Thanks, I can work with that!

So roughly 1/8 tsp = .5g

Yes for gypsum if Palmer's information is correct. And about 0.4 g. for calcium chloride.

Can’t weigh grams???!!! She’ll beat your back side if you try it again. For sure don’t ask her age! ;-)
Actually buying a scale is a got idea. I love mine and I don’t have to borrow the one in the kitchen.

Fractional teaspoon measurement is good enough. It's all merely ballparking anyway. There is no magic to hitting numbers to the Nth degree.

Wow that’s cheap, I’m gettin one!

I have the same scale and it’s been a trooper!

If you're a big batch brewer, a scale with a resolution to only a gram can be OK. But if you're brewing 10 gallons or less in your batches, then you'll want to make sure that the scale you get can report tenths of a gram. While it won't make a big difference if the amount you add is off by a bit, having the ability to see a tenth of a gram change will help you avoid serious overdosing or underdosing on small batches.

Get a scale!!

If you still need a scale check the ammunition reloading department of a sporting good store . Usually less than 20 bucks
