So I'm using that thermometer that came with my turkey fryer today... waiting for my water to get up to 170 while steeping my grains in the extract IPA I was brewing. It was taking forever... then I noticed a few bubbles like it was getting ready to boil while it was reading about 155. I took my buddy's thermometer from his batch and put in mine and noticed it was nearly 200. So I way oversteeped my grains at too high of a temp before I pulled them out. Probably gonna be a dark Amber IPA. I'm bummed the color will be off, but as long as it tastes good...
So can anyone recommend a quality, accurate thermometer? Should I get a digital instant-read thermometer? Suggestions.
