Are all bi-metal thermometers created equal? Not really. The problem with most bi-metal thermometers is that hang ups occur and you have to tap the thermometer to get an accurate reading. The cause of the problem is that the bimetallic helical coil in the stem of other bi-metal thermometers is tack welded to the stem itself. Our new line of thermometers feature a super sensitive bimetallic helical coil suspended from a copper coated bushing fixed in the stem.

This superior design provides a faster response to temperature changes and assures more accurate readings. What does this mean? You don't have to tap the gauge with your finger as much.

They are also accurate to 1% of the total range, feature a polished 2" 304 s/s housing, a hermetically sealed water proof case, and glass face. The range is 0-220 °F and -10-100 °C. The 12" stem is 1/8" stainless steel. This is a very different thermometer than some of the other low quality 2" x 12" thermometers that are currently on the market.

This dial thermometer should be calibrated at 150 °F. 
 

 

  • Very accurate, easy to read, and having the long probe helps avoiding fingers in hot mash.
  • Super accurate, easy to read and is much quicker than most thermometers I've used.
  • I found it accurate right out of the box. Highly recommended.

Gets the job done

The thermometer is great. The clip could be improved - it's a little flimsy and I had to spend some time trying to bend it into a more precise and useful position. When clipped to the edge of a large pot it has a tendency to tip forward or backward. Maybe this is related to the pot I'm using or maybe there's some trick I'm overlooking. But it certainly works for what I need it to do.

Excellent Thermometer

This long thermometer was needed to be able to check the center of a brew in a new Brewzilla 3.1.1. This length is perfect for the tall tank! I found it accurate right out of the box. Highly recommended.

Nice thermometer

Works really well. Very accurate. Handy clip to hold it onto the kettle or mash tun. Just wish it would read out in single degrees.

Excellent product. Had to order a new one because somehow I lost my last one. Has a long stem for my deep pots. Easy to read hope I can retain this one

Well designed

Very well designed and takes the right temperature. I use it in my kegorator.

A very good product displays temperature accurately. I wanted a longer temperature probe to put threw the top of my ten gallon cooler mash tun I had a small grain bill of 12 lbs it didn't reach the mash for an accurate measurement but on a larger grain bill I think this product will work perfectly. Also can be used on the boil kettle to give a good temperature of the top of the boil to help with knock out times and hop additions at various times of knock out.

Nothing fancy but it does what is supposed to do.

This is a very good thermometer. I use through a small hole drilled in the lid of my mash tun cooler. Reaches the grain bed and is very stable in its readings without the annoying jumpiness of the digital one I formerly used. Accuracy checks out against two other themometers. Very happy with it.

Great thermometer.

Super accurate easy to read and is much quicker than most thermometers I've used. I use this for my mash and HLT and have produced many delicious batches.

Not Worth the Money

Like others I have found this product to be ineffective - inaccurate and hard to use. A straight-forward glass thermometer is the ticket if your brew kettle isn't rigged with a thermometer.

Great thermometer !!!

I use this thermometer for all grain brewing. I checked the readings by using two digital thermometers & found it to be very accurate. I was also very pleased with shipping - received it within 2 or 3 days after placing order.

BEST FOR THE PRICE

I HAVE USED MANY THERMOMETRS OVER THE YEARS AND I STILL FIND MY SELF GOING BACK TO THIS ONE.

Very useful as it can dig down into my mash tun and obtain temperature readings throughout mash bed.

Highly recommended

I've been using this thermometer for about 4 years now and it is great! Itseasy to calibrate and very useful for all grain brewing. if you dont own a mobile thermometer yet this is the one to get. Very accurate easy to read and having the long probe helps avoiding fingers in hot mash. I use this to calibrate all my other kettle.thermometers. Couldnt brew with out it!

Great starter thermometer

This is a great low cost thermometer for beginners. Once you upgrade it has other uses. I use this to put through a hole I drilled in my fermentation chamber to give an easily accessible temp reading (if not perfectly accurate)

Not fancy but it works

The long probe reaches down into my brew kettle so that I can predict when to expect a boil. It also works great for measuring the temp of mash. After reading some of the reviews here I am going to try to calibrate it though it has never been a concern until now and I have enjoyed it very much. Worth the money in my opinion.

Good for Coleman Cooler MLT

I've been using this in my Coleman cooler MLT. It's tall enough that I was able to drill through the lid and this fits down to the bottom. Good for measuring mash temps. Haven't seen any accuracy issues as reported by others.... or I simply haven't noticed.

well made and easy to use

This has worked very well for me so far. it clips onto the side of your brew kettle really well. The dial is very easy to read and it seems to get to temperature fairly quickly. I live at altitude and so the temperature shown for boiling is about 2 degrees low but this is to be expected. No problems so far.

Works well if you take care of it

I found this thermometer to be a good value. The reaction of the needle is quick and accurate. I did not use it for mashing but rather attached inside my brew kettle to monitor wort temp.

Works for me

I use this to put through a hole I drilled in the top of my cooler mash tun. Takes a couple minutes to hit the mark but super repeatable.

Does the job but be careful

I've been using this for the last four years and it's worked very well with the exception that about a month ago I started getting batches that were not fermenting as well as I thought they should. I was getting a final gravity of over 1.02 and it was bugging the hell out of me. I tried oxygenating the wortz pitching new yeasts and lowering my flavor malts. I finally figured it out. This thermometer was reading 10F too low. I was mashing at 165F. I learned that this thermometer needed to be calibrated from time to time to keep it accurate. Learn more about calibration on Youtube. If you can spare the extra money get a digital thermometer.
