So I've been putting off buying a thermometer for my keggle because I want the best of both worlds. I already have teh 1/2" coupling welded in to the wall. Sure, I can get a dial thermo with 1/2" MPT and just be done with it, but then I have to keep watching the dial for when I hit my mash/sparge temps. I thought, wouldn't it be great to use one of those digital probe style thermos with the temp alarm and timer built in? Great, so now I have to figure out if the proble shoved into a thermowell would be accurate or not.
Has anyone tried this? I'm thinking of getting a 4" thermowell and filling it with some heat conductive grease then inserting the probe.
