Hi all, I need to vent on here about my recent faulty thermometer discovery. Have made 6 batches off all grain and partial mash. I just decided out of curiosity that I would test this thing in boiling water. It was ten degrees lower that what the boiling point temperature should be for water! I have been wondering why my beers have been finishing with higher gravity than i expected/wanted. I have read about checking thermometer, but haven't really taken it seriously since I got it from my college chemistry lab. Well this is really a downer, all this time my batches have been getting screwed up because of a f***in inaccurate thermometer.
Lessen of the day: I was too lazy to take 5 minutes to check my therm. accuracy. So don't be like me. RANT OVER
any others have experience with faulty thermometers??
