Scales For Hop Measurement

[cpsmusic]

Hi,

There was a thread on here a while ago about digital scales for sale on Ebay that are suitable for measuring small quantities of hops.

I've done some searches but I can't find it :blink:

Can someone either point me to the thread or give me some suggestions as to some suitable scales.

Cheers,

Chris

Take your pick.

or plenty of ebay such as these - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Digital-Precision-P...#ht_4835wt_1141

Anything around the 100-200g range is good.

Accuracy might be questionable at these prices... but a few grams error ain't the end of the world for hops.

For small batches using high AA hops a couple of grams can make a big difference! :icon_cheers:

Really happy with it.

These are the same as my 2nd set.
However the first set that is 0-1000g with the same scale seems to be much more useful, after putting a container on the scales, the 300g limit is easily reached.

I've got the above scales in the 1000g... Use em all the time for brewing and cooking. Can't fault them. Fir the price I thought they'd give up ages ago. Might go geta second set, exclusively for the kitchen.

just bought some, made me think about how far off my salt additions might be...

$10 pair from Kmart are digital. Great, and allowed me to do a stocktake on my hops on hand. They're a bright crimson colour, so easy to find during brew day as well.

I have these type of scales as well, but in the 1kg range with 0.1 accuracy. I use coins to test it every so often and it's pretty accurate.
It was like 6 bucks on ebay with free shipping.
