Any recommendations? Need one for the keggle, HLT, and MLT.
Thanks.
Thanks.
when you say adjustable, do you mean being able to adjust the calibration if/when it gets out of whack? that seems critical for a bimetal thermometer.
side question: what length probe is recommended for a keggle? 3-4 inch? or does it matter?
Why do you need 6" probes? Just curious. I hate my 6" probe in the boil kettle cuz it gets in the way of the IC.

Exactly. Why would it need to stick in more than an inch or two?
(Um...I'd rephrase that if I could think of a better way to put it.)
Anyway we're looking at thermocouples because the one we have now works for pretty much....no one. 1/4" NPT with 2" immersion depth seems to be the winner for most. Why 1/2 vs. 1/4? Is it just because of a convenient size to put a hole in the kettle?
guessing you didn't see my post above yours.
Well how long does it need to be to reach through the tee? Not everyone uses a sight glass. Having too long of a probe means it either interferes with the IC on the inside (Yes I saw that stated above) or gets knocked by someone's arm on the outside.
Having too short of one means you can't use it in your configuration. We are just looking for the best compromise. So far it's 2" immersion depth. That still gets through the Tee, right?
bought 3 of these from bargainfittings.com (cause you were out). figured I would need the length to reach inside the kettle through the T.
6" probe will have about 2.5" sticking in the kettle.
4" will just barely stick out.
thanks for speaking up! excited to get my order. do you have any recommendations for a thermometer for this site glass?
also, will the fitting leak if there's no thermometer installed?
thanks. just talked to him. so you think the 6" probe through the sight glass I got from you would leave about 2" in the kettle?
