Im looking to buy a weight scale for 10 gal batches. I Would rather one scale that could do the grain and hops, but ill buy two if thats best.
What are you guys using?

I've got the same one as Woody, love it. Battery operated as well, so if you aren't leaving it in a permanent spot like me, I don't have to get the AC power out each time, which is great!
I don't use it for Hops, I have the same brand of scale, but it is much smaller, very much the same as the Anvil scale Dave at Everwood sells.

Yea I almost bought the bigger and smaller anvil off Dave. But I figured there gotta be something cheaper than $130.

I just use the 5 kg-1g Starfrit scales Canadian Tire sells. They routinely come on sale for <$15.

I find my anvil scale finicky for weighing salts. Perhaps it’s normal for that small amount. I have to add a larger weight and subtract off the amount I need or it will not register it correctly.
