Great Deal on Thermapens...

Mine is scheduled for delivery today.

I like the piece of mind knowing my temperature readings from my Thermapen are accurate.

I do wish there was on/off button on the handle. I find it can be annoying to take a temp with the kettle lid in one hand and a Thermapen that has timed out and shut down in the other hand. Only way to reactivate is swing the probe closed and open again. Not a one handed operation......

Mine too!

I'm not brewing for almost two months, though. But I'll have to take the temperature of something anyway!

 

[Frank-Likes-Beer]

I won't be brewing for a couple weeks either, but I'll use it in a steak or chicken or something ...just to play with it.

OMG- you expect me to COOK?

Do I look domestic to you?

Good heavens.

As I told my husband on our very first date- "This chick don't cook".

rcrabb22,
Keep in mind that you can disable the auto-off feature on your Thermapen so it doesn't time out on you. If you find it timing out frequently when you are using it you should definitely do this--there is plenty of battery life (1500 hours) for it to last years without a battery change even with this feature disabled.

Um...... Brewing IS cooking! Assemble ingredients, follow a process, end up with something to eat, clean up. What's the difference?

Brewing makes Beer! Duh.

Peanut butter and jelly won't get you wasted, big difference.

The lime green is the fastest one!

Sorry, just an old BBQ joke...

My purple one shows up tomorrow. Arrived in Utah on 1/14 with an expected delivery of 1/20. That didn't change until just now, when it suddenly arrived in NJ with an expected delivery of 1/21.

Whee, Fedex!

I just started playing with my Thermapen. When this thing says "instant" read, they are not kidding. I have never seen a thermometer react so quickly.

It was also cool that it was calibrated before going into the package and comes with a certificate of calibration, including the name of the calibrator, date, temp and humidity, and reference instruments.

Other cool little details I didn't know: there are DIP switches in the body that let you change between F and C, change the resolution from 0.1F to 1F, disable the auto-off function if you want it on all the time, and adjust the trim if it ever drifts out of calibration.

This is closer to a laboratory instrument than a kitchen thermometer. It's no wonder they're so expensive.

Joe, how much with shipping? I may have to steal yours our next group brew day!

 

[nostalgia]

[craigevo]

Sorry I didn't see this earlier, Craig. Here's the Thermapen Trim Adjust document: http://www.thermoworks.com/pdf/Splashproof_trim_adjust.pdf

In for a blue one....thanks for the slickdeal. Great digital thermometer.

 

[craigevo]

Thanks Tim. My Thermapen is only about 0.2C out. Wouldnt normally bother for such a small amount, but since I have the ability !

Fantastic thermometer this one. Didnt realise how much I would appreciate it, but the wife got it me for xmas and now that Iv used it a while I realise how nice it is - so many temp checks to do in a brew day that the speed of this thing somehow ends up being unexpectedly handy.

 

[Bruin]

Hey Tim, give me the free shipping and I'll buy one today! C'mon man, I need some brewaccuracy! SWMBO made me promise I wouldn't spend another dime on brewing after seeing the credit card bill with all my Christmas brewgifts for myself!

 

[TomRep]

I'm ordering one today though I must admit, free shipping would be sweet!

Glad to hear the TP is doing its job for you, Craig. I have to admit, I've been using one now for 6 or 7 months (from when I started at ThermoWorks) and I can't believe how much I use it (my wife too) for everything. Bruin and Tom, wish I could help you out with the free shipping (!!) but I'm afraid that ship has sailed (we had free shipping for all our email subscribers last weekend). And the $79 deal will be closing soon (tonight at midnight) and we won't be seeing that again for a loooong time. Best of luck with your brewing!!
