Thermometer Recommendations

[Craig311]

I have a gift certificate for amazon.com and was hoping to get a decent thermometer for mashing. Can anyone recommend a thermometer from their site?

I recommend not get the pyrex probe thermometer. It is a POS.

I have this one and it's awesome. You can calibrate it, if necessary.

Amazon has a stainless digital waterproof thermomemter that can be calibrated. I've used mine once so far and it worked great.

I say avoid the thermometers with a wire leading to the probe. They work great at first but the wire eventually gets wet and it fails. SOmetimes it only fails by 10 or 15 degrees sometimes it just doesn't work. I've tried 3 brands 2 at a time and my probes go through the wall of my vessels so they should stay drier than most

Just my opinion of course.

Disregard this. Just read the fine print . . . .

-40° to +176°F

I just ordered one of the other Traceables, but wish I'd seen this one first. Looks good!

Submersible probe; wire mounting bracket permits easy probe placement

I would recommend a liquid in glass lab type thermometer as a checker. Even the traceable thermometers vary 1°C which is about 2°F. So if you are shooting for 154 and are reading 155, you are really going to wonder if you aren't at 157 and need to adjust.
