That is a sexy scale. |
Enter the Anvil High Precision Small Scale. At $19.99 this little dude is a steal. I will be using mine this evening to weigh out hops, orange peel, coriander, and yeast nutrient for a Belgian Wit that we will brew tonight. I will use it to measure priming sugar tomorrow for a fruit beer that we brew a few weeks ago. A nice scale is almost as important as your hydrometer if you want to craft great beer. This little beauty features a 4 x 4 in. stainless steel weighing surface and includes a large sample tray and protective cover (which doubles as a smaller sample tray). Unit measurements available in both oz and grams, and is accurate to within 0.005 oz or 0.1 gram. While this is not laboratory level stuff a homebrewer doesn't need a scale of that precision. The quality is better than the scales you can pick up at a local box store for the same money. Blah blah blah...technical stuff, technical stuff, technical stuff.....This thing looks sweet as hell! This little scale is overflowing with value and I cannot wait to try out more gadgetry (is that even a word) from Anvil Brewing Equipment. The Anvil Large Grain Scale is on my shopping list.
Tonight, we brew the last kit the I have on hand. The base of the beer will be Great Fermentations of Indiana's Witless in Indianapolis All-Grain Kit. Some modifications to the recipe include additional sweet orange peel and a more aggressive and exotic dry yeast that the recipe suggests. More on that after the brew in bubbling!
Cheers and stay tuned.
