Grain Scoop

This is a modification of another design for a scoop that's suitable for weighing out grains in homebrewing. The modifications involved a more secure handle, closing off the handle, and an increase in capacity. I think the original designer has since revised his design, so check that out, too.

This scoop holds about 1½ lb. of grain but is compact and easy to use. Because there is no heat involved, it can be printed using any food-safe filament, such as PLA or PETG.

A single STL files is provided to generate a 4" wide scoop that will hold about 1.5lb of grain. This can be rescaled in slicer software like Cura to other sizes.

The use of this device is described in an article in the July/August 2025 issue of the Zymurgy magazine published by the American Homebrew Association and Brewers Publications:
