It works good and it is easy. My batch turned out to be 4.26 dKH and I used it. I didn't have all of the correct equipment at the time when I made it, but they were good enough.
At the time, the only set of scales that I had to use measured to one decimal place instead of two, but they were a good quality set of digital scales. I didn't have a 500 mL graduated cylinder either. My largest one was 100 mL, but I used it. Since then, I have picked up a better set of scales that measure to 3 decimal places, but I still need a 500 mL graduated cylinder.
