Ok I have only brewed one batch so far, but think i will really enjoy this "hobby".
I am seriously thinking about adding a weldless thermometer to my brew pot, just to make it easier keep an eye on the temp. Since I am only doing extract at this point and there is alot of stirring the pot, how do you "protect" the probe? Is it possible to break it, or should I just DWRAHAHB?
And also, I overheard someone at the hbsh talking about not using the valve on their brew pot anymore because they had a bad experience with a light colored wort coming out dark at first from residue in the valve from previous batches. Is it hard to keep the valves CLEAN? Is it really worth it to have the valve for extract batches?
