 In the box.

Here's the scale with a 10 g calibration weight.  Hey... it reads 10 g.


 Here's the scale with a 20 g calibration weight.  Again, right on the money.

Here is the scale with a total of 28 g (very close to one ounce) and it's reading right at 28 g.

For accuracy, I recommend weighing hops in grams.  For simplicity I recommend weighing Dry Malt Extract for starters in grams.  See the Tips Page for more information.

I am very happy with the accuracy of this scale.  In fairness, there were some combinations of of calibration weights that did not read out exactly.  With some combinations, I noticed a variance of .1 to .2 grams.  Very acceptable.

This is great for hops and water salts and would also work for starter DME and spices.
