Any recommendations on decent gram scales? I've been looking to get
one for a bit, but would like to get some opinions. I'm most
interested in a scale that I can measure my Sodium Metabisulphite or
Potassium. I hate using Campden tablets, but this stuff is too hard
to measure out 1/5th or a quarter teaspoon.
