Thanks for the comments guys, some very useful info. Liking the Adam scales @Sadfield. Will definitely look for something that can be calibrated.

I’m in 👍🍺

I’m in the market for some new scales after my old ones took a tumble. Interested to know what you guys use or recommend for your grain scales and also for your hops and water adjuncts. Cheers 🍺
