The question I have is where to place the gauge @ on the brew keg. Attachments IMG_20220114_142827806.jpg 1.1 MB · Views: 13 IMG_20220114_142759446_HDR.jpg 1.5 MB · Views: 12

That should give you your average temperature throughout the liquid.

If so, middle-ish and stir your liquid good to minimize stratification. It’s close enough. If not mashing or whirlpooling, Maybe not much benefit. Liquid is boiling or it isn’t.
