$3 wired digital thermometer

I am a newbie who found this site and have been reading all over the net everything about home brewing and during my research I came across a $3 wired digital thermometer made by GE.

I am sure there are lots of uses for it such as putting it inside a cooler to cool down a fermenter, keeping inside kegging systems, etc. For $3 you can go wrong

I've picked up 6 for $25 including shipping

Hmm, almost sounds too goo to be true. BE SURE to test it in boiling water before you use it.

And let us know the results. If they are accurate I would probably buy a few myself. I just bought three of these today:

Weber Digital Thermometer


I had a gift card that I had to use so I went ahead and bought three of these. I figure 2 for brewing, and one for the smoker.

Those are indoor/outdoor thermometers. Not probe thermometers for cooking. You're supposed to hang the probe out the window so you can see what the temp inside is. Might be good for a fermentation chamber thermometer or something.

IMO, if it's not a traceable digital thermometer, I wouldn't bother. YMMV

I should have quoted. I was referring to the post about testing it in boiling water first. My bad.

What did you do for shipping? I'm in NJ and punched in a 6 pc order and they want $12 for shipping, making it a $30 order. When I go to 3 pcs they want $11 to ship.

when i put down 2 the shipping was $9, then i tried with 4 and it was 6$ and quantity of 6 was like 7.33$. i selected ship to business instead of residence since this was $2-3 cheaper and i shipped it to my job

Thanks! That was the trick. I run a business from my house, so I used the same address, just checked the business box.

Hope that counts

no way for them not to know if its not a business, i ship to work because its easier

I wouldn't have normally spent 30$ on a thermo....but I had a gift card and I wanted to get something I could use for brewing. What better way to get three sexy thermometers?

Three is company

Got mine yesterday. No problem with using the business shipping price to ship to my house. They max out at 158 degrees, so using them for a mash thermometer is out, but for a kegerator or taping the probe to the side of a carboy they are great. Accurate enough too. All were less than a degree from my Traceable. Thanks for posting this.

i got them yesterday also, whats weird was that they shipped them in 2 packages (4 in 1 and 2 in the other) when all 6 of them could've fit into 1 package.

they look pretty good and i will definately put them to good use with beer and other stuff.
