I'm trying to find a good thermocouple probe to use to monitor the temperature of the mash as it exits the MLT during recirculation (my Ranco controller with a thermowell
will monitor the in-flowing temperature). My idea is to use a standard T-fitting, and find a male NPT threaded probe that I can just screw in to one end of the T.
Here is a resonably priced example of one that I found:
Thermocouple Pipe Probe
This is a Type K thermocouple, so it just plugs in to a number of standard digital thermometers, like this one: ThermoWorks – MTC Mini Handheld Thermocouple
What I am wondering about is whether I need the "Grounded Thermocouple Junction" or "Ungrounded Thermocouple Junction" version. I don't know what this refers to. I know that I need the "Male Mini Connector" option in order to plug it into my thermometer.
