I am getting ready to do my first brew.
Question. The 155 degree temp when boiling and the under 90 temp for cooling the wort...
How is this measured? Meaning, how do you all recommend doing it?
My kit came with a stick on tape like thermometer.. I dont see how I can use this for boiling and cooling the wort though. Since it'll still be in the 7.5 gal pot for those steps... (immersion chiller will be used)
I imagine I'll use that stick on thermometer for the carboy while the brew is in 2nd stage fermenting in my basement... I havent really thought that far ahead yet...
What do you guys use and how do you do these initial temp readings?
