Scales
Scales
Nearly got all my gear ready for my first AG brew sometime next week and just realised I don't have anything to accurately weigh hops and smaller amounts of grain. Got some crappy kitchen scales which would do for the pale, but need something a bit more sensitive for smaller amounts. So, all you grain brewers out there, what do you use and how good does it do the job?
I use these

They are very good, better than the Salter digital that they replaced, which cost more

I have a set of scale as described by TheBigEasy. For accurately weighing small amounts I have these;

There is a wide choice aimed mainly for special dietray needs.

I've used a set of these for ages, although mine aren't as cool looking as they're grey not chrome!

Aha, but you have swanky scales using weightsnoby wrote:I don't have a problem with the scales, so I'm not in the market for digital ones. My baking and brewing haven't suffered from it, to the best of my knowledge.
