Hello,
I am moving into BIAB and have a 70l kettle (18 gal) and made a trial run with a grain bucket with a mesh in the bottom (made from a old fermenting bucket).
I was recirculating the wort with a temp probe in the inlet at the kettle pot lid and also temp probes in the wort (both down below the false bottom and in the wort bucket).
The temp was different by several degrees even though the wort was circulating, both + and + depending where I put the probes in the bucket.
Now I ordered a brew-bag (400 micron) that will remove the gap between the "grain bucket" and the pot wall and my question is if should it be expected to have big differences in temp between the probe under the false bottom, in the wort bag and in the inlet in the lid (after the pump)?
Also - should I mount the temp probe to steer the brew steps:

Also - should I mount the temp probe to steer the brew steps:
- Under the false bottom below the brew-bag
- On the output vent
- on the inlet after pump on the pot lid
