Grain Scale

Post by **Jimmy** » Sun Jan 04, 2015 2:08 pm

I got tired of weighing out the grain for 10 gallon batches using the small kitchen scale and ordered one of these today. 55lb capacity, accurate, lifetime warranty, free shipping, no taxes and excellent reviews on amazon.com. I'm looking forward to being able to throw a 5 gallon bucket on the scale and weigh out grain in bulk :spilly:

Looks like a good one Jimmy. I could definitely use something like that myself given the size of my batches.

I'm gonna buy one as well. That's a great deal.

Shane, they also sell a 75lb one for 5 dollars more. I figured the 55lb one was plenty for anything I'll be doing.

Looks like a great deal. You can be extra useful during grain pickups too

Looks like a great scale - you've been nominated to the early crew for the next grain split!

I picked up a shipping scale a couple of years back. Great investment!

I have the Ultraship 55 (it was on for $49 once I think), really like it.

Scale showed up today. It didn't come with the power supply (which I did read in the description, however, below the description it said it was included). I had a power supply kicking around that worked. It sure makes weighing the base grain a lot more enjoyable!

I got my 75KG scale today as well. No power cord included with mine either, but popped in 4 C cell batteries and it works great. I've got a ton of power cords and other shit out in the garage so I'd be very surprised if I don't have one that fits it. This will make weighing out my grain much easier.

Yea, mine came without also. I've been using the same set of batteries for over a year though.

What's the adjustment for the auto shut off on these? Can you turn it completely off?

Why was it tax free? Amazon.ca not .com.

I have no idea. I know it's common to get items tax free on Amazon.com, however, this was ordered from .ca.

I just checked, and it's still available tax free on Amazon.ca.

Not sure. Haven't needed to adjust it.

Just FYI,

These are the ones I use, and they both work great:

I have been using that scale for almost two years now Jimmy, i bought it when i got back into brewing and it has been a work horse for sure.

What's the minimum weight the scale will register? Is it any good at weighing out hops by the oz?

it probably would be the kg setting is to 3 decimal places

did you ever end up buying this? If not maybe we can combine forces

looking at the picture, if measuring 0-2 lbs, then it's 0.1 oz accuracy, almost precise enough for weed

I got sidetracked on it but I think I'd be willing to split in one

I just ordered the Ultraship 75 online (not from Amazon though, it wasn't on sale) for $51.29 incl taxes/shipping.

Where did you purchase it from Mike? I'm looking for a upgrade myself. It's a PITA weighing out 5-6lbs at a time.
