Hop scales 0.1g accuracy

Post by Frothy » Sat Apr 22, 2017 8:06 pm

Hi

I'm making small batch IPA's to experiment with new and different hops.
Problem is that for 4L batches I can be measuring as little as 3g of hops for certain additions.
My current scales only measure to within 1g so really looking for a set to weigh 0.1g increments (or finer) without breaking the bank.
Can anyone recommend a decent set from experience?
There are loads on ebay but some look too cheap to me and not confident to take a punt.

I work in the jewellery trade and any on here will do the job. Personally I have the £69.50 Tanita one at home for brewing but we have got a couple of the cheaper ones at work and are just as accurate.

I've been using this cheapy for over three years and it is still accurate.

I've had a small jewellery scale for hops for many years, got the cheapest of ebay, doesn't really matter if it is 100% accurate, you are not measuring gold out. (unless it is First Gold that is).
Just checked the link above and that is the same one I have.
