A mercury thermometer is IMO no more dangerous in a brewery than concentrated acids or bases (cleaners/sanitisers), boiling wort and naked flames.

The amount of mercury in a thermometer is very small and whilst highly toxic I'd much rather be cleaning up 1 broken thermometer than 1L of conc acid.


I recently had a chat with a prospective client about homebrew... didn't go into any details, but he said he and a mate did batch when he was at uni and broke a mercury thermometer in there... he said, "no worries.. just called it a mercury lager" :blink:

I said nothing
