TallTayl Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) I understand the two methods. What I'm wondering about is what do I use to measure the oil? How do I know I have 1 ounce, or .8 ounce, or .75 ounce. My scale does not show me ounces. Please all understand, I'm not trying to be difficult. :)GoldieMNYour bakers calculation above is correct. Seriously, i would look into a traditional scale. It is simple enough to make mistakes without an extra layer of calculations. The KD7000 scale has been a work horse for me. I got 7 years out of my last one. And it measures in grams in addition to ounces so small batches are a snap.Edited to add, are you sure your current scale does not have a setting switch or tiny button somewhere to make it work like a traditional scale?

chuck_35550 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I use a shot glass with markings on the side that tell you increments of ounces (up to 2) and place it on my scale. The reasib that I'm careful with amounts is because of the cost. A pound of quality oil plus shipping, increases the cost of pproduction and that increase is my cost. I don't pass it on to the consumer becaue they won't pay it. Keeping cost down is a constant battle, whether you are selling or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
