My new scale
« on: July 14, 2018, 02:53:32 pm »
I am thinking homebrewers are not the target market for my new scale.



I especially love the model number.

Interesting since ±0.5 g isn't really enough precision for "that" market...

Beer is like porn. You can buy it, but it's more fun to make your own.

But I looked and see it has 6kg  capacity with that 0.5g resolution, which is nice!   My kitchen scale is 5kg/1g.  And cost a lot more.  Might be my next one if I  need a replacement.

My scale for salts and finings has a resolution of 0.05g, capacity 250g.  More suited to "that" market.  It was sold as a "diet" scale.  Cuz you definitely don't want 0.05g too much açai berry in that smoothie ... right?

LOL. Yeah, I think you better lay low for a while. You might be on some agency watch list after that particular purchase.

That’s what my son told me.

Paranoia is a known side effect of using this scale.

I leave the accent off and just use acai berry, saves me that extra 0.05 g.

An interesting garden this developer must have.
On a side note I did purchase my scale at a head shop. $10.
