For a brew kettle, water kettle or lauter/mash tun…
I’ve seen the ones on the Gucci/Fendi brew stuf sites. $60 + if you order WITH your $700 tub. Ain’t happening. So, where does one find a nice cheap but reasonably accurate thermometer I can mount on a kettle, cooler… etc.
Something like this?
Search for Brewmometer.
Like that, although without the Blichman name on it and for a lot le$$… (they make GREAT stuff, don’t get me wrong)
Austin Brewing Supply has a non-Bichmann bolt-in thermometer

but you still need a bulkhead for it, which puts the total price back up close to the Blichmann version.
I haven’t seen a bolt-in thermometer configuration that’s less than $35-$40.
Cool… although I wonder who the genius was that put the scale in 2.5/12.5º increments… ???
