Thermometer recommendations?

IHateMayonnaise · Jan 15, 2010

I've been using a cheap analog thermometer that I got for walmart since I began brewing. I feel as though it's been doing a good job, but when it's at room temp (70) it shows higher. My beers have been turning out alright, but I think it's time to upgrade my thermometer.

I don't need anything too fancy (ie digital), just one that is dependable and accurate (and precise). Any comments??

Well, wallymart has a new digital stick for about 10 bucks, "acu-rite" i believe is the brand. Nice largeish display. Mine works well, but I'm sure there are better units available $$.

I've had good luck with WIKA bi-metal thermometers (http://www.wika.us/products_TM_en_us.WIKA?ActiveID=12680). They're industrial thermometers, well made and accurate to +/- 1%. They come in various temp ranges and mounting options. I got a TI.30 for ~$20 on-line.
