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.

With resolution down to the thousandth of a gram, this would be a candidate for use with both hops and water salts. 50 grams is about 1.76 ounces.

RUNCL 110 lb Capacity Digital Hanging Scale [Weigh Kegs, Tanks & Bags of Grain]

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.

5,000 gram/11 lb Capacity with .1 Gram Resolution! by Lan Sheng

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:

【Ultra-precision Digital Food Scale】The food scale with ultra-precision count. Minimize the error & anti-fingerprint technology, offers superior performance and easy to use.
【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.
【High Precision】Precision food scale – the margin of error is 0.3g. Prefect for small, water, milk or important projects.
【Excellent Design】Tare function makes measuring food more hygienic and easy. Automatic auto-off and adjustable shutdown time let you enjoy without worry.
【Portable & Easy to Store】Lightweight and small scale can save space for the rest of your kitchen. You can enjoy your professional health butler care at home or travelling.

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.

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:

What I like about this scale…

I like that this has a relatively high resolution (.1 gram) with a larger 3 kg (about 6.6 lbs) capacity. Typically resolution goes down when capacity goes up. A lot of times reasonably priced .1 gram resolution scales seem to max out at 500 to 600 grams. 3 kg is a generous capacity consider this scale’s .1 gram resolution.
A like that is features a stainless weighing platform.
That it can be powered by both USB cable or battery and that it uses easy to source AAA batteries [Search AmazonBasics Batteries].
Given the specs of this scale, it should work for weighing hops, smaller amounts of malt and other brewing ingredients.

What’s the 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.
Things I like about this scale… It uses easy to find AAA batteries [Search AmazonBasics Batteries]. It has the Tare Feature. That allows you to essentially zero out your container to get a true picture of the weight of the contents. I also like that it has a stainless top. Given the specs on this scale, it should work for grain, hops, other brewing ingredients and more.

Tip: Use Two Scales if You’re an All Grain Brewer

Pictured: Ultraship Ultra-55 affiliate link, note that multiple variations of this product may be available, as such a different version may appear at this link – Hands On Review

Part of Our Homebrew Tips and Tricks Series. Check out the complete list – Homebrewing Tips, Tricks & Shortcuts!

As all grain brewers we are generally weighing things in two categories. Moderately large amounts of things – like grain – and smaller amounts of things – like hops and water salts.
Although weighing both types of things involve a scale, they are really wildly different activities.

But Why?

I’ll take the Ultraship Ultra-55 [Hands On Review] as an example. That has been my go-to grain scale for years and years. It has a large 55 lb capacity, the tare feature and the face removes so that you can weigh large items (like buckets of grain) and still easily read the display.
The Ultraship Ultra-55 has a resolution of 2 grams when weighing up to 1 kg (about 2.2 lbs). From 2 lbs to 50 lbs it has a resolution of .5 oz. If we’re weighing 20 lbs of 2 row, this works great. If you’re 2 grams or a half an ounce off either way, it really doesn’t matter. How about hops? A 2 gram resolution would work in a pinch, but I don’t think most brewers would be happy with that. Weighing water salts are completely of the question with this sort of precision/resolution. But.. it’s a great grain scale.
Second example… American Weigh 100g x 0.01g Digital Scale [Hands on Review]. That scale has an outstanding 1/100th gram resolution. That’s great for weighing hops accurately AND weighing water salts. How about for your all grain grist bill? It should be awesome right? No. 100 grams equates to about .22 lbs.

The right tool for the job: As scale capacity goes up, resolution, precision and accuracy generally go down. Very accurate scales with higher capacities do exist, but they’re very expensive. If you’re looking for something like this or just want to see prices, try this search on Amazon. It searches “high capacity lab scale” in the Industrial & Scientific category sorting from high to low price.

Recommendation: Use one larger capacity scale for measuring grain. Important features to consider: Tare (allows you to subtract the weight of the container that’s being used), Pounds/Kilograms Display, Digital Readout, Either Auto Hold or a Removable Face (this allows you to weigh large objects like a bucket of grain. An AC Adapter is also nice to have. This Ultraship scale is what I use. I’ve used it for years and have been very happy with it. It features a removable face to easily weigh larger objects.
Recommendation: Use one smaller, more accurate scale for weighing hops, spices and water salts. Tare, Pounds/Kilograms and Digital Readout are important for this one. You’ll want something that measures to an accuracy of 1/10th of a gram. You’ll be using grams for water salts and you should consider using grams for hops. Consider the AWS-100

What about Extract Brewers?

If you’re an extract brewer or you can only keep one scale because of budget or space, look for something in the middle, something with an 11 to 15 lb capacity and a 1 gram resolution – something like this. You can use that to weigh out grain bills – you may need to split your grain bill up into a couple batches to get under the capacity and 1 gram will work for hops.
