I just got a 2L flask to make my starter in. The problem I have now is checking the temp of the cooling wort. For anyone else using a flask, how do you check the temps? Do you use a 12" dial thermometer?
Exactly. I used to boil and cool in the pot as well. I wanted to eliminate having to handle the starter too much so I figured the flask was a good way to go. Boil, cool, pitch. Then I realized I can't get inside the flask to get a temp reading. Looks like a longer thermometer is in my future.
I did consider using my shorter dial thermo but was afraid of dropping it.
