Hands On Review: 5 Stage Reverse Osmosis Water Filter by Reverse Osmosis Revolution – Dial in Your Home Brewing Water!

cln_img_1242

Why Use a Reverse Osmosis Filter for Homebrewing?

Using RO (Reverse Osmosis) or DI (Deionized) water allows you to start with a clean slate of sorts and build your water profile from the ground up using water salts.  That allows you to take control of an important aspect of your brewing, especially if you’re an all grain brewer and create exactly the water profile you’re looking for.

Water by John Palmer and Colin Kaminski, part of the Brewing Elements Series, is a great read to learn lots more about brewing water and water adjustments

500 x .01 gram Digital Scale [1/100th gram resolution!] – hops, water salts & more

GDEALER Food Scale, 0.001oz/0.01g Precise Digital Kitchen Scale Gram Scales Weight Food Coffee Scale Digital Scales for Cooking Baking Stainless Steel Back-lit LCD Display Pocket Small Scale, Silver

500 x .01 gram Digital Scale

More Info
Highlighted Features
  • Accurate - This GDEALER scale equipped with high sensitivity gravity sensor and wide range, weigh up to 500g. Readings in units: g/ct/dwt/ozt/oz/gn. Note: Weight less than 3g may decrease the accuracy of the scale.
  • Perfect Design - ABS plastic frame and stainless steel plate make the scale durable and light. LCD display with blue backlight makes it available at night.
  • Multi-function - The counting feature gives you an accurate count especially for food. Precision Tare Button calculates the net weight of your ingredients.
  • Widely Use - The two transparent plastic cases are perfect to weigh items such as fruits/liquids/food seasoning.
  • Good Quality - This food scale is lightweight, takes up no extra space, and is easy to carry and store. Stainless steel countertop protects the scale and is easy to clean. Good performance and easy to use.

 

Tare Function: Tare allows you to subtract the weight of the container you’re using to get a true weight of the contents.  Add your empty container to the scale and press the tare button.  This zeros out the scale.  Now add the thing you’re weighing and the scale displays just the weight of the contents of your container.  In my opinion the tare function is essential for any good homebrewing scale.

What I like about this scale… I like that it has a stainless steel top. I also like the high resolution with a relatively large (give the 1/100th gram accuracy) capacity. And it has the requisite (in my opinion) tare features and that it uses easy to source AAA batteries [Search AmazonBasics Batteries].  Given the specs of this scale, it should work for weighing hops, water salts, smaller amounts of specialty grains (500 grams is about 17.6 ounces or just over a pound) and other brewing ingredients.

No more spillovers! Set your desired volume and walk away
Automatically collect water while you tend to other tasks
Great for collecting brewing water or mixing your cleaning and sanitizing chemicals

Enter your desired volume of water, press Start, and tend to other brew day prep work. Install in-line with your water filter to automatically collect filtered strike water, or measure out how much water you need to mix with cleaning chemicals for a precise dilution ratio.

  • LIGHTWEIGHT KITCHEN SCALE: This digital food scale measures 7.3" x 5.5" x 1.5" and only weighs 1.12 pounds. It's the perfect size for measuring ingredients for your baking and cooking creations.
  • LARGE BOWL: With your purchase, you'll receive a large expansion bowl that can help contain your ingredients while measuring. The bowl can hold fruits, vegetables, coffee, and more!
  • LCD SCREEN: The digital scale's backlit LCD screen makes numbers viewable and easy to read—even in dim lighting. Thanks to high-precision sensors, you'll get an accurate measurement every time.
  • BUILT-IN COVER: Keep your electronic food scale safe with the built-in plastic cover. It will keep your scale looking like new and protect it from scratches, bumps, and everyday wear and tear.
  • HEAVY-DUTY PLASTIC CONSTRUCTION: Our portable scale has a durable surface that's easy to clean. Place your items directly onto the plastic or place them in the expansion bowl for measuring.

 

Tare Function: Tare allows you to subtract the weight of the container you’re using to get a true weight of the contents.  Add your empty container to the scale and press the tare button.  This zeros out the scale.  Now add the thing you’re weighing and the scale displays just the weight of the contents of your container.  In my opinion the tare function is essential for any good homebrewing scale.

What I like about this scale… I like the high resolution with a relatively large (give the 1/100th gram accuracy) capacity.  I like that it has the requisite (in my opinion) tare features and that it uses easy to source AAA batteries [Search AmazonBasics Batteries].  Given the specs of this scale, it should work for weighing hops, water salts, smaller amounts of specialty grains (500 grams is about 17.6 ounces or just over a pound) and other brewing ingredients.

TDS meters can are helpful for brewing if you’re using a RO filter or if you purchase RO (reverse osmosis) water for brewing.  If you’re using an RO filter a TDS meter tells you how effective your filter is and can help you know if your filters need to be replaced.  If you buy RO water, a TDS meter can let you know what you’re getting as some water processors add minerals back for flavor.  A TDS meter will allow you to make sure you’re getting what you want.

RO water can be built up to reflect the exact water profile you’re looking for.  See: Water by John Palmer and Colin Kaminski
