  The Brett C batch has a pellicle on it? That seems odd. Brett C is a yeast strain with no
  bacteria in it. I was under the impression that yeast did not form a pellicle. I would sample
  all three and ta...

  1/2" NPT threaded thermowell w/ a 1/2" NPT nut and o-ring. I siliconed the temp sensor directly

  Well, I came in short on my pre-boil gravity so I sparged a bit to much to compensate and am
