I just made a batch of beer yesterday and have the primary sitting in a large bucket of water to keep the temp constant. The stick-on thermometer on the side of the primary reads 64-65*(it is submerged in the water). I've also got my long dial thermometer sticking in the water, and it's reading 70-72*.
I'm leaning towards the dial thermometer being correct since it would be very odd if the water temp was warmer than the primary (especially since it's actively fermenting).
Are the stick-on liquid crystal thermometer not very accurate?
