Only got to use the damn thing once. After a couple of beers I'm on to the boil. A few more and I'll have forgotten about the whole thing. It was supposed to be a high gravity smash, so a mid gravity one ain't too bad.

The dial thermometer came with a turkey fryer, so I can only ballpark to within 5 degrees. It's hanging around 150, so we'll see how it goes.
