Does anyone know, roughly, what a stubbs scoop of the following weighs?

Alfa a
Baileys no 4 cubes
Soaked sugar beet (ie dry weight equivalent)

Far too lazy to get outside with the scales right now, but trying to update Manage my Horse as I have changed feeds. According to it, I will use a bag of SB in 6 days, so think I must have messed up the dry/wet calculation!!!

Also am using Top Spec this year instead of blue chip. I am feeding 2 mugs a day each which is 500g as per the bag. However on looking at my MMH records, I was apparently only feeding 200g per day of blue chip. Either I had this wrong on the file, or I was way under-feeding it, but it's showing as the Top spec costing me more than twice as much to feed. Anyone know what the blue chip recommended dose is for a 15.2?

Thanks from the lazy couch potato sat in front of the fire!!
 
a stubbs scoop of alfa-a is about a lb or .5 kg in new money.

would go and check others for you but lazy-by-the-fire-too

Alfa-A Oil is 400g per scoop (presume normal Alfa-A would be the same)
Dry speedi-beet is 650g per scoop - don't know how much it weighs when wet, sorry

Don't know about Baileys No. 4 but Calm & Condition is 1.5kg per scoop, so I would guess it might be similar!
