For future reference the sensor I was talking about is pictured below.

Ignore this post, I posted something that was meant for another thread. I don't know how to delete it!
Where in San Diego did you find it?Just scored a used brewhemoth for 400 bucks it's not the triclover version but that's fine.
I'll put it in a stand up freezer, I guess I'll tape the temperature sensor to the side since it has no thermowell port.
At the bottom I was thinking of using triclover to npt but I don't really see the need to, it's not going to be sanitary.
Question, I plan on using a spunding valve, no blow off, if I ferment 15 gallons, will the kraussen go high enough to try and get out? What's the most you've fermented without needing a blow off tube?

I've brewed as much as 18gal in my Brewhemoth (German pils). Lagers aren't known for giant krausens though, that would be pushing it especially with a "heady" yeast like a Belgian or wheat. 15gal works easily though, never had an issue with blowoff through my spunding valve. I actually imagine the pressure would reduce the head somewhat. My reasoning is, when you let the pressure off the head increases, so I think the converse would apply as well.
The most I have ever had in mine was 20 gallons of cream ale, US-05 at 66 degrees. I did not have any blow off either.
I've done 2 20 gallon batches of mead, of course no blow-off, we have received spunding valves that stuck, dismantling them showed that they had foam go thru them, this also ruins gauges, so be careful.
