I ordered a site glass for my boil kettle. I was going to add it this weekend, but then I started to wonder if liquid inside the sight glass will reach boiling temperatures?
Will any contaminating bugs survive the mash and be able to live in the sight glass while the wort is boiling?
I doubt the sight glass reaches boiling temperatures. So after I chill and drain the kettle, the sight glass empties back into the kettle with the cool clear wort. Thus inoculating it with some nasties.
Am I just over thinking this?
