I want to measure the temp of my brewing wort.
I used to just brew and hope for the best (6 yrs or more ago)
for the last 5 or so yrs i have had a light globe in the fridge set to 18-20 deg and it keeps it warm in winter.
The last problem is when a brew kicks off it can get to hot and i have no way of keeping it cool. I feel this may help me brew a better beer.
I will try to use a pelter device under the keg(plastic) to cool it once its to hot. At the moment i have thermocouples and the like in the "air" of the fridge but this is not the true wort temp. I guess the air lags behind the wort temp by some time!
How can i get "true" readings?
thanks for any help
(P.S i dont have any temp device into the wort for fear of contaminating the wort) :chug:
