I am trying to decide what sort of thermometer to use for my boiling on a brew kit I am going to purchase from northernbrewer. I am wondering if a lab thermometer http://www.northernbrewer.com/pics/fullsize/lab-thermometer.jpg
would be a better choice as opposed to a floating thermometer? http://www.northernbrewer.com/pics/fullsize/floating thermometer.jpg
I have heard that lab thermometers are fragile, but that floating thermometers can break or bust or something. I really am looking for a cheap thermometer, but these seem to be the only viable ones I can find. All help is much appreciated.
