American Weigh 500 x .01 gram [1/100th gram resolution!] – hops, water salts & more

American Weigh Scales LB-501 Digital Scale

More Info


Highlighted Features
  • PREMIUM QUALITY: Renowned as the leading manufacturer of digital scales, American Weigh Scales excels in precision innovation. With numerous models designated as Amazon’s choice, rest assured, we've got you covered for all your weighing requirements. Purchase confidently, backed by our ten-year warranty, ensuring long-term peace of mind.
  • ACCURACY: The LB-501 scale boasts a 500g x 0.01g capacity, ensuring precision with every weigh-in.
  • MEASUREMENTS: It measures in grams, ounces, carats, and grains, making it versatile for various applications, from weighing coffee and baby formula to cooking ingredients.
  • FUNCTIONALITY: This scale features a counting function, a tare function, a detachable dishwasher-safe bowl, and an AC power adapter. Another notable feature is the ability to turn off the backlight of the LCD display for added convenience.
  • INCLUDED CALIBRATION WEIGHTS: While your American Weigh Scale arrives pre-calibrated, we provide two AWS 200g calibration weights for added assurance. If you ever detect any discrepancies in accuracy during use, simply utilize these weights and follow the instructions to recalibrate your scale, ensuring continued precise measurements.
  • BATTERY-SAVING FEATURES: Auto-off functionality conserves battery life, ensuring your scale is ready whenever you need it.

 

What are Other’s Saying?   Search this product’s Amazon reviews for “brew” – affiliate link, note that multiple variations of this product may be available, as such a different version may appear at this link

Tare Function: Tare allows you to subtract the weight of the container you’re using to get a true weight of the contents.  Add your empty container to the scale and press the tare button.  This zeros out the scale.  Now add the thing you’re weighing and the scale displays just the weight of the contents of your container.  In my opinion the tare function is essential for any good homebrewing scale.

What I like about this scale… I like the high resolution with a relatively large (give the 1/100th gram accuracy) capacity.  I like that it has the requisite (in my opinion) tare features and that it uses easy to source AA batteries [Search AmazonBasics Batteries].  Given the specs of this scale, it should work for weighing hops, water salts, smaller amounts of specialty grains (500 grams is about 17.6 ounces or just over a pound) and other brewing ingredients.

Digital Total Dissolved Solids [TDS] Meter – check brewing water and filter performance

TDS Water Quality Tester - TDS, EC & Temperature Meter 3 in 1, 0-9999 ppm Meter, LCD Display, TDS Meter for Drinking Water Test, Coffee, Swimming Pool, Aquarium, RO/DI Water, Hydroponics

TDS Water Quality Tester – TDS, EC & Temperature Meter 3 in 1, 0-9999 ppm Meter, LCD Display, TDS Meter for Drinking Water Test, Coffee, Swimming Pool, Aquarium, RO/DI Water, Hydroponics

TDS meters can are helpful for brewing if you’re using a RO filter or if you purchase RO (reverse osmosis) water for brewing.  If you’re using an RO filter a TDS meter tells you how effective your filter is and can help you know if your filters need to be replaced.  If you buy RO water, a TDS meter can let you know what you’re getting as some water processors add minerals back for flavor.  A TDS meter will allow you to make sure you’re getting what you want.

RO water can be built up to reflect the exact water profile you’re looking for.  See: Water by John Palmer and Colin Kaminski

Hands on Review: Brewers Hardware The Dry Hopper!

This review is by Homebrew Finds Contributor Brad Probert.  Brad is an engineer, expert homebrewer and experienced reviewer.  Grab a link to Brad’s website at the end of this review.

Brewers Hardware Dry Hopper

Dry hops. Homebrewers debate their favorite dry hop, how to calculate their IBU contribution, and when is the best time to add dry hops. While many love them, the technical challenge of adding them “right” is a hefty one. Whether you’ve heard of hop creep, or tasted an oxidized IPA, you are interested in minimizing the introduction of oxygen to your beer when you add dry hops.
