Suitable Brewing Thermometer

[Jase]

HI Guys,

I'm thinking of getting one of mashmaster thermometers for my mash tun, but am thinking of getting one of
this DMM? Do you think that this DMM wouldn't suitable for the HLT, checking temps in burner, and occasional checks in fermenation?

Cheers,
Jase

i dont think i'd be using it to check the temps of my burner flame.?
maybe flick warrenlw63 a PM, from memory he bought one of those or similar and had a few issues, thats why i didnt go down that road.

Cheers

Yep, sorry just saw that thread guys.

I bought the more "upmarket" model at $55. Meter itself is fine. Where the whole thing lets you down is the k-type thermocouple probe gives up the ghost too often. <_<

Had mine for about 3-4 years now and I reckon I've been through about 3 probes.

I'm inclined to think there's better alternatives out there.

Yep, he's currently on Holidays at the Gold Coast. Should be back either this week or next.

KoNG, send him a PM so he knows you're looking for him when he gets back.
