Hey!
Hope you all are having a good day! Hopefully brewing!
I am! I'm trying an Anchor Steam clone today.
I'm having trouble with getting my temps, particularly the Mash In.
I have been using two candy thermometers that I just plop in the mash and leave there.
Seems to work OK. But I am always high.
So, today as I heated up my Strike Water, I decided to put all my thermometers in the water.
I also use the long stemmed stainless steal variety with a clip to use in my keggle.
I believe that one to be pretty accurate.
I also have an El Cheapo digital from the local department store kitchen area.
My two candy thermometers show 170*.
My stainless steel shows 160*.
And my little digital shows 157*.
So, I can see why my mash tun temps are off.
I need to work on this issue.
I use a 48qt cooler for the mash tun.
What do you some of you use to check that temp?
I'd use the stainless steel one, but it doesn't really fit in there. I usually falls under the mash.
I'd like something that I can just drop in and leave.
Any thoughts?
What are some thermometers that the brewing community are using?
Have a good one ...
