Was supposed to be doing first BIAB last week (chickened out and did extract/ cereal beer). Went for it today with a Dunkelweizen. Just got grains into strike water and my (very cheap) digital thermometer went beserk. It was claiming the ambient temperature in the utility room was 94ðC! Minor panic set in but just carried on regardless. After some guessing, hoping and judging 'by eye' I pulled the mash bag out with relief - the pre-boil gravity was 1.050ð.
Boil went off without a hitch and it's now tucked up in the FV. New thermometer needs ordering - grateful for suggestions?
