I picked up a nice digital scale the other day.My old plastic one was a PITA for measuring whole hops.This only cost me $21 at my LHBS. :sarcasm: https://www.northern...ale-chrome.html

Looks good. I love the digital scale that I have. I bought mine at Walmart last summer for about $25 too. I don't think I could measure grain or hops any other way. I kept my older scale that was not digital and its just not the same. Here is to many great measures for you Kegdude. Merry Christmas.

Anybody know of a big box retailer who sells the Escali scales? My Chefmate recently crapped out, and I bought an OXO. I like it, but it's not super accurate. It weighs 11 lbs. and goes to 1 gram increments, but you will get a different reading for the same amount of weight every time you try it. :D It was also $50. I'm taking it back and looking for an Escali (NSF model). I do like the idea that the OXO has a light on the readout, and the base comes off for cleaning, but, still.

I got a great digital scale that looks and functions the same as the one in the link. I got mine at Ross for something like $8. The metal top comes off for cleaning on that one too. Oh, and it has a "bowl" that fits nicely on top.
