Someone asked us about this 12 inch probe. Is it good for 5-6 bung stopper with room for an airlock?

We tried to soaked it to one container which is about 5L and found it reached near an half of it.

So what are your opinions?

Its currently working for me in my conicals. I say it would be a great option to offer

I use a larger #7 1/2 stopper for my application but my probe thermowell is also wider in diameter to fit the stc1000 sensor I have mounted in it now.. there would be no need for a thermowell with your proposed probe.
