I already have an ultra precise German made digital scale from my pot growing days, so I'll stick with that thanks. Being able to make gerolsteiner mineral water from scratch has been an incredible ancillary benefit of learning water chemistry; at $3/bottle my whole setup has already paid for itself probably twice over. We do love our mineral water!
Stick with whatever works for you. Sounds like an awesome scale. My comment was mainly directed at people starting out and picking out their equipment. Just letting them know you really don't need an expensive digital scale for the salts, measuring cups work fine and come in really small sizes for measuring out grams or even 0.5 grams. I have a cheap digital scale that I had used for weighing my son's pinewood derby car, so I use that to weigh out my hops and grain. But it doesn't do decimals(wish it did), so instead of trying to weigh 1 or 2g on it I just use the measuring cups. I'm far more confident my measurements will be consistent batch to batch which is really what I want when I'm trying to replicate recipes I like.
