Digital Scale by Zerla

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.

Given the specs of this scale it should work for hops, grain, other brewing 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:

• Hands On Review: American Weigh 100g x 0.01g Digital Scale
• Hands On Review: Ultraship 55 lb Digital Scale [Grain] With Removable Face

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

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.

What I like about this scale… I like that this has the tare function and that it has a 1/100th gram resolution.  That means you should be able to use it for weighing hops, water salts, smaller amounts of specialty grains (200 grams is about 7 ounces) and other brewing ingredients.  I also like that it uses easy to find AAA batteries [Search “AmazonBasics Batteries”] and that it has a stainless top, protective cover and includes a calibration weight.

3,000 grams is about 6.6 lbs.  Considering that and the .1 gram resolution, consider using this scale for hops, smaller amounts of grains/specialty grains, other brewing ingredients and more.

KUBEI  USB Charging Scale

More Info

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.

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:

• Hands On Review: American Weigh 100g x 0.01g Digital Scale
• Hands On Review: Ultraship 55 lb Digital Scale [Grain] With Removable Face
