Brewed a Centennial Blonde batch on Saturday, no problems. Brewed another batch (AHS Hefeweizen) this morning. I've been using a TruTemp 3518N digital thermometer. When the thing read 224F and my pot wasn't boiling, I figured something was up....
Long story short, I calibrated the digital thermometer against my trusty glass style. The digital one ended up being 12F high. Thus, my mashes and sparges have been way off. So far, no horrifically negative effects in terms of taste. But, consider this a lesson learned.....and a search for a new thermometer.
