I am about two months into my rims build and several dollars. I have a question about the temp probe run from the pid. I think they call it an rtd not a thermocouple, It has tapered 1/2" threads that look like it is made to be mounted in the side of the mash tun. I want to mount it at the heating element using a 1/2" female pipe thread using copper or brass. It threads in ok for a ways but I think it will leak due to the tapered threads. Has anyone done anything different?
