I like this scale. In addition to weighing out grain, I use it for yard projects because it will weigh up to 55 lbs. My first one pretty much wore out, so this is my second one. The best I can figure, I had the fist one more than 6 years.
Quite an impressive scale for the money. Heavy duty construction and very accurate right out of the box. No calibration was needed after testing. Used for weighing hops and rains and found it to be spot with both small and large amounts. Removable front panel is nice if you are going to weigh large items like 50lb grain sacks. Backlight with large display is easy to read even for us older vision impaired brewers. I would recommend this scale over some of the more expensive scales out there.
First one non-functioning on arrival, replacement is great
The first unit I received didn't function properly out of the box. The unit button would only switch from the default oz. to lb. oz., then it would read large negative numbers, and pressing any other button would power the unit off. The rest of the time, the display would show gibberish as "numbers" (pretty sure it was aliens), show all of the units as "active", and didn't function at all as a scale.
MoreBeer's customer service was great though! As soon as I told them about the issue, they promptly shipped a replacement unit out free of charge. The replacement works perfectly, as advertised. The reviews of this scale seem pretty positive, so maybe mine was the anomaly.
The size of the weighing platform is great for being able to measure out grains in a large enough container. The working unit is great for the price and I've had no issues with it.
Love the option to plug in or use batteries. Seems very accurate and has multiple weigh options (Lbs, grams, oz etc). Would highly recommend. I can weigh grain and hops!
I keep this next to my bulk grain storage so weigh out what I need for my grain bill. Weigh the indivual ingrediants and put in a 5gal pail the day before brew day. I do wish the auto shut off timer was a little longer.
I purchased this scale after my current digital scale failed on brew day resulting in using a small kitchen scale. I appreciate the ability to plug it in or use batteries, the pill out readout for using large buckets to weigh grain. and the versatile options of units that use a separate button. Great purchase!
This scale works well for measuring out hops and grain. The 0.1 oz resolution at weights under 2 pounds is great for hops, and the 0.5 oz resolution at weights over 2 pounds is perfect for measuring large grain bills. The stability feature is nice, letting you know when the scale has finished measuring. Overall, a great addition to the brew kitchen.
The front control panel takes a bit of finagling to remove. With time I’m sure it will be easier. It’s easy to use and read. Looking forward to weighing larger grain bills for brewing.
I have only used it once so far, and it works great. It has a 10 year international warranty. The removable face is a great feature to have to see the display when your bucket is on the scale. The AC adaptor was included in the box as described in the "Key Features" listing (first line item).
The only complaint I have is that it shuts off quicker than I would like other wise it works great it weighs everything I need and seems to be very accurate
Thomas - Thank you for your feedback. Couldn't agree more, be prepared when making your specialty grain weighs...

Never received the adapter but the scales works ok
It appears this was designed orginnaly for post office or paper and box weighting but as far as I can tell it works well with any object above 2 to 3 grams , i did had issues weighting salts on this thing though so for smaller measurements below 10 grams better use something else.
I've only used it once,which was to weigh the grain for a kit I had lost how much it weighed I was ok with the hops because when I get a kit the first thing I do is mark the hops.I'll need to weigh the grain for my own recipes
I needed a new scale - one that could handle large capacities for grains and such. Love the ability to pull the readout bar forward when I have a larger container on the scale.
One note: The description of this scale says that neither the C-cell batteries nor the power adapter are included so I purchased the recommended power adapter. When the scale arrived what was inside? A power adapter included in the box. Now I have two. Not sure if this is standard but if a power adapter is included with the scale then the description needs to be updated.
Works like a charm. Easy to use and large enough for what I need. (It will barely fit an orange Home Depot bucket but the common white Brewer bucket is a bit sketchy.) Works well for measuring gran or hops
Accurate and fits my need when measuring out grains or hops for my brew day. I do 20 gallon batches so I'm not doing small amounts and do not have time to check it more than twice to keep it moving.
In use in our 2BBL brewhouse and has held up to a lot of abuse in the past 12+ months...including an incident of getting completely submerged in water. I have one personally, as well as one in our commercial kitchen. from a few ounces to 55lbs, this is a great scale to have around.
Great product. Simple to use, easy to switch between lbs, oz, etc. with a button on the side. Added the power adapter and keep this on my island in the kitchen when I'm not using it in the brewery. Very functional and useful.
I bought this scale to weigh the grain bill for 10 gallon batches. The practice of using a bathroom scale with me and the bucket left a lot to be desired. My high accuracy scale did not have the capacity I needed. This scale is convenient with the removable display face and the accuracy is good even down in the ounce and gram range. Highly recommend!
I am actually afraid to put a 55 lb grain bag on it because of the flimsy design. Also, it shuts itself off within a few seconds, and then takes a while to turn back on and tare. It does non come with AC/DC adapter.

Great scale for weighing bulk grain.
Get the exact amount of grain that your reciept calls for. Place a bucket on the scale and tare out the weight and fill with the grain that you need. Works great!
Pros: weighs everything from hops to grain in a very accurate fashion. Having the readout on a remote cable is very handy when you have a large tub of something and still want to see the readout.
Cons: I would pay double if they could insulate the unit. DO NOT get this wet or it dies. This is a huge disadvantage for a brewing location when splashes, etc. happen all the time. Went through multiple units before going to a different solution. But I still prefer the operation of this unit better.
This is the same scale MoreBeer uses in their show rooms, and is great! The ability to remove the electronic readout is extremely helpful for larger readings. Automatic shutoff keeps battery life up. It is as accurate as most any home brewer may ever need!
