I noticed during my last brew that my thermometer measures significant lower against the side then in the middle of my wort when in the ice bath (which is where it wants to sit when the lid is fully covering). Makes sense, I just hadn't thought about it and was therefore pitching at a low temp (was shooting for low 70s). 3 batches in and no issues tho. Question: is your most accurate reading in the middle of your pot while chilling? Also, to accurately measure keg serving temp should I be using a liquid thermometer and measuring a second pour? My air temp on the door is around 40. Thinking the beer is actually colder. Can't test now, 5 days out from racking a batch of Big Sky Pale Ale . Thx
