boiler thermometer, digital or dial ?

loady · Jan 8, 2013

Having just read guybs thread on his thermometer, are dial ones more accurate than digital, I have spent good money on my shiny kit so I was thinking I would like to have probes in my boiler that I could 'hot swap' a digital thermometer to, I'm sure I have seen these and are they a cheaper way to do it ?

Both will need calibrating initially and both should be as reliable so it's up to you really

Bayonet fitting PT100 etc...you're not going mad :thumb:

I think I'm being thicker than usual, why would you want a thermometer on a boiler? :wha:

Perhaps it doubles up as a HLT :wha:

Monitoring the temperature when cooling?

Yep, that's exactly what I did it for - so I know the temp for sparging (and mashing for that matter).

Can also be used to gauge steeping temps on a boiler

I fitted mine Jim for the 80c steep of Styrian at the end of the boil :thumb:

Also gives you an idea when boil over might occur, or could I risk cutting the grass / empty the bins

Ahh..the man with his finger on the button...got some pics for you instalalation ??

I am putting temps gauges on both HLT and boiler because i will need to get correct strike temps for HLT ? and on the boiler....so i know when it cools enough.

Just google "Bayonet fitting PT100"

...where do i start...where do you get yours ?....i obviously will need a head unit then 2 bayonets for HLT and boiler...and maybe one for MT :party: ?..and possibly a hand held one for testing temp of grain before mashing so i can get work out spot on strike temps ?
