The Mashup beer weighing scales are now ready for testing.The design has been adapted from a classic see-saw style weigh bridge with central balance indicator. The winning runner stands on the left side while beer is loaded onto the right until it balances. Early prototypes required significant strengthening to be able to withstand the weight of both runner and beer.
The scales will be tested in earnest for the first time tomorrow at Bath Ales brewery in Bristol. Mike Brown (keen Mendip runner) has volunteered to be weighed and Richard Dempster, director at Bath Ales has agreed to provide a warehouse of beer to weigh him.
Check back here soon to hear how it goes.
