How do you monitor your fermentation temps?

[osoling]

I just got the Cool Brewing Fermenting Cooler for my birthday, which I am pretty stoked about. I live in Florida, so fermentation temps are tricky. I have always monitored (always, as in, the one batch I have made so far) temps using the adhesive thermometer on the side. Now, it seems like that will be hard to read in the bag. Do you fine folks have any tricks or tips to monitor temps while fermenting? I'm all ears.

Second batch boiling now. Only 28 days until I get to see if I'm any good!

Thanks in advance.

I use one of these. Tape the probe to your fermenter and insulate it. I use a thick piece of styrofoam. The unit can then sit outside of the ferm cooler.

Nice! I'll look for one at Home Depot. Keep the ideas coming!
