Dont Kill Me For Asking

Excuse my ignornce, i couldnt find the LCBA.. only Tony's pale ale and wheat

Little Creatures Bright Ale Clone. It's a great recipe, tasty but not over the top with fruity hops or bitterness, not overly malty, just really well balanced. It'd be what I'd suggest too. And it has the second highest rating in the RecipeDB!

OK thanks JD, might get a dial type thermometer anyway

Don't rely on these except for heating water (in my experience anyway).

The mash is always going to be different temps in different spots - probably hotter at the bottom as it is insulate by the grain above. Heat dissipates through the top. The probe will also draw a bit of heat out. Make sure you calibrate with a good glass stick thewrmometer and use the stick to measure the mas in several places to get an understanding of what's going on. I think HERMS systems (and probably RIMS) are an exception as the mash is continually recirced and stirred so temp is even throughout.
