I have a 10 gallon brew pot. I'm going all grain and will use the brew pot to heat water. I will than pump that water to a cooler and gravity feed to another cooler for batch sparging. From that cooler the wort will flow back to my brew pot for boiling. So I have a 3 tiered system but instead of heating the h2o in the hot liquor tank I heat it in the boil kettle and pump it to the "hot liquor tank" for storage and so I can fill my brew pot w h2o
Anyways, I'm thinking of putting a thermometer on my brew pot so it will be easier to tell when it hits 170. I'm wondering how accurate they are? I'm also wondering the best placement. I'm electric so my brewpot has the metal heating element inside. I'm also curious about the sightglass thermometer combos. The downside is they seem to require the thermometer at the bottom and I'm not sure the electric heating element wouldn't interfere.
