Any good digital kitchen scale will do fine as long as you don’t care about weighing all your grain in one go – they usually max out at 11 lb/5 kg, and once you tare your bucket, that’s under 10 lb of remaining capacity. But I just use my kitchen scale and a 2 gallon paint mixing bucket and weigh my grain in two or more lots, dumping each into the mill hopper as I go, so I don’t have a redundant piece of equipment that just gets used on brew day. (If you don’t have use for a general purpose kitchen scale, ignore this post. I’m sure somebody can recommend a good high capacity scale.)
That looks like it could be overkill, and has a minimum readable weight of 6 oz, which makes me wonder what the resolution is… but it has one feature in common with my kitchen scale I’d really recommend looking for: the display/keypad can be moved out via cable. This makes sure a big bowl or bucket won’t eclipse it. I don’t have a link because it’s one of the rare items I didn’t buy online…
Thanks! Looks like postal scales is where it’s at.
I have a small scale for hops and water treatment and another kitchen scale that has a limit of 3 lbs. The issue isn’t the capacity as much as it is the size.
That does look nice as far as design, capacity and resolution go, but does it have a tare function? I can’t tell. That would be a must for me, because I hate doing avoidable math.
I use the ultraship ultra 55. You can get it through morebeer!, and it can weight lbs for grain, ounces for hops, and grams for yeast. That covers everything I need. I’ve checked its accuracy with all and am pleased with the results.
