5,000 Gram (about 11.02 lbs) Capacity Digital Scale.  .1 gram resolution.

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

  • 【7 Measurement Unit to Satisfy All You Demand】This digital kitchen scale has 7 measurement unit to meet all the food weight that you need: g, oz, lb, tl, kg, water ml, milk ml.

What is Tare and why is it important?  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…  This has a 5,000 gram capacity.  That figures to about 176 ounces or about 11 lbs.  It also features a .1 gram resolution.  Given the relatively high capacity, that’s a lot of accuracy.  Typically resolution goes down as capacity goes up.  I also like that it has the tare feature, that it features a stainless top and that it uses easy to find AAA batteries.  Given the specifications it should work for weighing gram, hops, other brew ingredients and more.

RUNCL Digital Fishing Scale, Portable Luggage Scale, Weight Scale 110lb/50kgs - LCD Display, Data Lock Function, Auto-Off, 63" Built-in Measuring Tape, Nickel Plated Hook - Fish Scale, Hanging Scale

110 lb capacity digital hanging scale

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

  • LCD Display: Features an easy-to-read LCD digital display for enhanced viewing, even in direct sunlight, and also comes with back light for low light and evening conditions
  • User-friendly: Data lock function holds the weight for convenient reading, auto-off saves power for maximum battery life, over load indication avoids damage, low battery indication lets you know when to replace the two AAA batteries (included), 63″ built-in tape offers easy measurement, 3 weight display options provides you with the ability to display weight in LB, KG, OZ
  • Nickel Plated Hook: Includes a nickel plated hook, rust-resistant and abrasion-resistant, and it provides an alternative way of holding your catch securely and allows you to easily release the fish when you’re done weighing it
  • Tare Weight: Equipped with a tare weight function (to zero the unit for weighing in a bag or container), so you will get the most accurate and precise measurement possible
  • Auto-Off: Fitted with an auto-off feature (automatically turns off after 60s of idleness), saves power for maximum battery life. Complete with a battery display, lets you know when to replace the two AAA batteries (included)

 

Possible Uses: Weigh kegs, propane tanks and bags of grain.  If you know the tare weight of the keg or a tank you can estimate how much beer or propane remains.  Tare weight would be the weight of the empty keg or tank – sometimes printed on the side, otherwise you can weigh it empty.  A good estimate for the weight per gallon of beer would be the weight of a gallon of water – about 8.34 lbs per gallon of beer.

  • Smart Button Functions: The "PCS" function enables you pieces counting such as pins, beads, screws; The "T" function will provide a net weight; The "M" function helps you choose the proper unit; The switch time can be set to 60", 120" and 180"; Besides, it can alert users for low battery power, overload, and uneven surface placement
  • Stylish Design and Space Saver: Minimalistic and elegant design, the food scale's mini and compact size (Product Dimensions: 4" x 5" x 3/4"; Platform Dimensions: 4"x4") takes up minimal space on your desk, makes it a pro pocket scale makes it easy for carrying
  • Multi-Functions: Built with a clear blue back-lit LCD screen, the cooking scale can convert measurement results between in g, tl, oz, ct, and gn in seconds; Comes with two trays (13 cm, 10 cm), which can be used as protectors or scale trays. Meet your demand of measuring different things

 

What Does Tare Mean? 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 (1/100th gram) given the relatively large capacity (500 grams, about 17.6 ounces, or just over a pound).  I like that it has the requisite (in my opinion) tare feature, that it has a stainless top and that it uses easy to source AAA batteries [Search AmazonBasics Batteries].  Given the specs of this scale, it should work for weighing hops, water salts, smaller amounts of specialty grains and other brewing ingredients.

A smaller scale can work for all grain brewers, as you can weigh any amount of grain in multiple batches, but if you’re a large batch all grain brewer or regularly brew all grain batches with larger grain bills you may want to consider a two scale approach, one more precise scale for hops and a larger capacity scale for larger grain bills.  A couple scales to consider:

  • User-friendly: Data lock function holds the weight for convenient reading, auto-off saves power for maximum battery life, over load indication avoids damage, low battery indication lets you know when to replace the two AAA batteries (included), 63″ built-in tape offers easy measurement, 3 weight display options provides you with the ability to display weight in LB, KG, OZ
  • Nickel Plated Hook: Includes a nickel plated hook, rust-resistant and abrasion-resistant, and it provides an alternative way of holding your catch securely and allows you to easily release the fish when you’re done weighing it
  • Tare Weight: Equipped with a tare weight function (to zero the unit for weighing in a bag or container), so you will get the most accurate and precise measurement possible

Possible Uses: Weigh kegs, propane tanks and bags of grain.  If you know the tare weight of the keg or a tank you can estimate how much beer or propane remains.  Tare weight would be the weight of the empty keg or tank – sometimes printed on the side, otherwise you can weigh it empty.  A good estimate for the weight per gallon of beer would be the weight of a gallon of water – about 8.34 lbs per gallon of beer.
