made a great find on Ebay -a mash tun (Stainless 7 gal pot, with SS valve (welded) AND SS false bottom -for about a hundred bucks, new in box. )
I'm ordering up a brewmometer, but I'm not sure where to put the thing -should I put it below the false bottom, or above it (in the grain bed) ?
My eventual goal is to have this thing be a recirculating heat exchange infusion system, so my assumption would be that having the probe under the false bottom would be fine, since the liquid would be in continuos circulation, the temp reading should be correct for the grainbed. Initially, however (due to expenses) this probably won't be a recirculating tun. Any advice?
if this weren't going to be a recirculating tun, where should the probe go?
