Scale (Digital) Bulldog

This is a digital scale from the Bulldog line, sold under the Esplanda brand. It is a merchandise item, not a beer or cider, so there is no flavor, serving temperature or glassware to describe. A digital scale like this replaces a mechanical dial with a load sensor and a numeric display. Readings are usually shown in small increments, often to the gram or a fraction of one. Most models of this type have a tare function, which zeroes the display with a container on the platform so you weigh only what you add. Many also switch between metric and imperial units. Check the packaging for this model's capacity, readability, power source and unit options, because the product listing doesn't state them. In a store that sells beer, wine and spirits, a scale like this is most useful for measuring by weight: dry ingredients for homebrewing, cocktail syrups and garnishes, or portioning bar supplies. Weighing is more repeatable than measuring by volume when the ingredient is sticky, fluffy or packed unevenly. Place the scale on a flat, hard surface, let the display settle, and tare before each new container. Keep it dry, since liquid spills near the sensor and buttons are the most common cause of drifting or erratic readings.
