I have been thinking about investing in a wire probe thermometer to get a more accurate reading of my temperatures during fermentation. My thinking is I would put a small hole in my fermenter lid (I use 6 gal plastic buckets) with a small stopper/bung in it and thread the wire/probe through that so that it sits in the wort. Just curious if there may be any issues/side effects of having it sitting in there for a couple weeks. Thoughts?
