its an ideal 61-310 DMM. only problem is it needs an adapter to fit a normal, replacement thermocouple, and the adapter costs $20. id rather put that $20 towards a more reliable meter if my meter is the problem...i just dont know how to figure out if its the meter or the thermocouple wire.

another thought - has anyone used this ebay meter? TM-902C K Type Digital Thermometer + Thermocouple Probe | eBay that's about as cheap as it gets, so i wouldn't expect much longevity...but if it's reasonably accurate, i could buy two of them.

hey everyone, i've done some reading around and it sounds like there are some people out there who use a thermocouple and multimeter for their temperature readings. I know it is not the most accurate method, but it was working well for me until this past weekend. I was really stoked to hit my...

hey everyone, compulsive browsing in this forum has convinced me to go all grain. built up a mash tun last week and got a killer deal on a 44qt turkey fryer. i'm going to brew my first AG on saturday, and I want to take a crack at the Pliny recipe that has been discussed throughout this...

it started a bit rocky (pitched a little too high, cooled off a little low the first night) but maintained 68ish after that. i used safale-05. but my temp control is not what i would like it to be....i could improve on that. thanks.

i've kegged my last few beers though, and even after two weeks of carbing, my amber ale still tastes really green, enough that i took it out of the kegerator and put it in a room temperature closet to speed up the process. any idea why that is? this is also the first time i've done three weeks...

hey everyone, i've brewed maybe 7 partial mash beers, and i'm just jumping into all grain. all of my beers have been tasty, and they have all had a period of about 2-3 weeks in bottles (after 3 weeks in a fermenter) where they tasted green before they started tasting good. most people say...

I am going to add some cold brew coffee to my secondary tomorrow and then keg the batch. I would add the coffee to the keg and then rack on top of it, but I want to bottle some beers, as i don't think my keg will be able to hold my entire batch. however, in the past, i have added priming...

delete plz.

right on, thanks for the opinions. worst, do you do a cold brew coffee?

hey everyone, im currently brewing a milk stout that will go into a keg in a few days and sit to age until christmas. I was planning on adding coffee to the beer, and it seems like cold brewing a batch is the way to go. My fear is that if i let this beer age 2+ months, the coffee flavor will...

i just kegged a beer for the first time. it is an ipa. it has been force carbonating for about 5 days and has a little carbonation (got restless and drank some early) but needs a little more time to be right. however, it tastes a little off. from my experience with previous beers that i have...

Hello. I recently kegged my first beer. It has been sitting under pressure in my newly built kegerator for 5 days and I got impatient, so I just connected the beer line and poured a beer. Its good :) but not fully carbonated yet, clearly. My question is, will it continue to carbonate if I leave...

i don't use a bottling bucket, see above. i'm not buying prepackaged kits, the recipes are put together by the guy at my homebrew store. and that's a good question about the sweetness level. i do find that the uncarbonated beers taste a little "different", but i can't quite put my finger on...

i brewed a belgian wit, bottled about 5 weeks ago. i've been trying bottles along the way ever since about 2 weeks...no carbonation. i began swirling the bottles a bit after 3 weeks to get the yeast back in suspension, and after 4 weeks, i had one bottle that was fantastic! so i cracked...
