so it has come to my attention I would like to have my temperature probe inside of my fermenting vessel
well Amazon.com is a gold mine for cheap SS tubing with FREE SHIPPING for PRIME members.
They have shorter lengths of tubing as well.
3/16" OD x 60" long $4.82
1/4" OD x 60" Long $4.97
5/16" OD x 60" Long $7.29
1/2" x 72" 316L $13.49
my plan for my better bottle thermowell.
I use Orange Arrowhead bottle caps for my PET bottles with Blow off Tubes.
my plan is to use a 1/4" barb fitting with the barb poking into the carboy through the cap, use a short piece of tubing to attach the SS thermowell to my barb fitting.
you could also use a stopper and drill a hole for the thermowell
now since you have so much left over why not put it to good use... SS racking cane? SS bottling wand? SS manifold for Mash Tun ? Sparge arm?
the possibilities are endless
I personally am buying 3/16" x 60 1/4" x 60" and 1/2" x 72" just because for $13 and free shipping how do you say no? $23.28 shopping cart with free shipping and 192" of SS tubing = TRI-WINNING with extra Tiger Blood
contribute suggestions on how YOU going to use it.
here is the $21 ETC thermowell stopper, so do you think its worth the price plus shipping or do you want to make your own?
