Brewmometer - weldless
This has the same features as the 1/2" MPT brewmometer, but comes with an integral bulkhead for easy weldless installation in a stainless steel kettle. The patent pending weldless design forms a super rigid water-tight seal. Unlike other weldless thermometer options, this will not "wiggle" in the pot or leak. The stem only protrudes into the pot by 2-1/2" long enough to get a good reading, but short enough to stay out the the way.

I use one of these. I installed it before I read the instructions which call for it to be atleast 6 inches from the heat source (bottom of the kettle) which mine is 3.5 inches....I had to weld a small metal heat shield on under it. All in all it works quite well and I al very glad I got it. Yes a sight glass is very nice to have but I would say your best piece other than the keg is the hop stopper. if installing this find a friend the has a step drill bit ($33 at the depot if you can't find anyone with one)
