Iv'e been using one of those spike type meat thermometers for monitoring temps in the kettle when heating strike & sparge water, now finding that my right hand is slowly being turned into a DIM SIM from the heat while I hold it in there & wait for the read out to tick up to temp.
My prefered method is to get hold of one of those digital themometers with the remote thermocouple like a multimeter so I can leave the probe/thermocouple in the kettle & just read the temp at a glance.
Do any of you guys use this method?
Where do you get e'm?
Most I have seen at Dick smiths, Jaycar etc are close to $100.
I have seen a few on Ebay for around $30 but without a Paypal account, they are not available to me at present.
Cheers, Mick.
