Extract Calculation...

[dr_sanch]

This may come off as a little amateur but the recipe I'm about to make calls for 2.3 kg of extract but my HBSS provided me with 3 tubs of 1 kg each...

After dropping in the first two tubs, what would be the best/accurate way to calculate the remaining 0.3 kg from my last 1 kg tub? I don't have a scale... Would be doing it by eye be a major mistake here?

I myself would just eyeball out about a third of the container and hope for the best a little short or a little extra extract shouldn't change your numbers to much. I'm an amateur myself so there may be a better way to do it without a scale.

The best way would be to invest in a scale, but doing it by eye should be good enough. An error of 100g would only change the OG by less than 0.002

If it were me, I'd dump in the whole tub because more malt = higher avb!
You can eyeball it, or weigh it out if you have a scale. shouldn't be any problems at all
