I've been through two digital thermometers now and I just now realized they aren't waterproof. So after doing a search for thermometers I found this thread https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=26905. Looks like a good idea to me. I'm going to spend a little more money on more equipment now and don't want to have to do this for a forth time for quite awhile.
I want to know if there is a generally accepted all around best thermometer? Waterproof thermometer that I won't have to do this to? Opinions on more accurate thermometers than others? And why is this not a more common question? I mean isn't this one of the most important parts of mashing and successfully brewing different styles? Even 4 degrees would make a difference from what I've read. It would seem to me that this would be a lot more important detail in technique that affects the final product than whether or not your using a manifold or stainless braid, or whether your batch sparging or fly sparging (that should get a response out of someone).
Edit:
Oh and I've already baked the **** out of the two thermometers I've gone through and they are toast.
