Right, i've finally got my ass into gear to get a HLT. I have been mashing using only one keg for 18 months now.
So i'm looking at sourcing a keg, placing in a 2400kw element and a 'Mashmaster Thermostat'.
What i have noticed is that alot of the HLT pictures on this site show the probe from the thermostat pretty damn close to the element.
I was hoping to cutdown on my brew day. ie Start the day with my mash water already ready, but if the probe is too close to the element it may give a reading that is not true. As in the bottom is 66C but the top of the water is only 30C. ??
The ideal method ofcourse it to have some sort of automated stirer. Thats too flash for me.
Any ideas. Or is the difference really negligable.
What height should the probe got. I only do 23l batched
