Angled TC thermowell

[kgranger]

I looked around online but couldn't find exactly what I'm after. I have a Spike CF10, and the placement of the thermowell port makes it so that if my yield is slightly under 5 gallons, the thermowell sits right at the liquid line, making readings inconsistent, especially when cooling. Has anyone seen a TC thermowell that angles down into the wort a bit more? As long as it doesn't get in the way of the cooling coil in the center.

I know I could just make slightly larger batches, but sometimes things happen and it just is what it is.

I don’t know about an angled thermowell but they do make long straight ones that are meant to be used vertically from the lid. Maybe you could calculate the distance to the 4 gallon liquid level and use one of those.

Ask @Bobby_M ....He could probably make one up for, or at least point out pros and cons if any.

NorCal Brewing Solutions is another place to look at. Several combo type fittings for thermowells and a very imaginative variety of options.

You can bend one with a tube bender, auto part store. I did this before. Now I have a custom one from bobbym, brewhardware.com and it works great.
