Why do all of the bi-metal thermometers have such a broad range? For the mash, you really only need a range between 120 and 170. Does anyone know if there are thermometers with that narrow of a range that maybe span a large dial so that you might be able to get closer to the range you are targeting. Maybe a HLT thermometer would need a range between 160 and 212 for strike and sparge temps. And the Boiler would need down to 70 for your final temp after chilling, but really would need much else. So really you would need three specific thermometers each with a different range -
HLT - 160 to 212
MLT - 120 to 170
Boiler - 60 to 80
Am I wrong? Why hasn't anyone tried to make these specific for brewing? I know I'd buy them. I'd make them if I could, but that's really not my area.
