mounted thermometers

[bod]

now i know we slag the americans for their gear lust, and i'm guilty of it too.... but since i'm building these converted keg kettle/boiler things, i thought i might as well go the whole hog!

anyway, i'm planning on mounting a dial thermometer on the boiler, that has a probe that sticks into the keg by a few inches. i've seen a few mounted in the middle and the bottom of the boilers, but where do you think would give the best reading, as heat rises in the liquid? :huh:

your right, i dont check different parts of the hlt, but then i do stir it before hand. guess it doesnt really make much difference eh? what a fud.

Where are you getting said dial thermo from then, bod?

[bod]

was planning on the one from http://www.johnsonvalves.co.uk/Data/16_Thermometers.pdf but i see the hop and grape have the brewmometer, but its 30 quid and only in silly american temperature ranges.... ie: not celcius.

dunno how much the johnson valves one is, but i doubt its 30 quid!

I've seen pictures but I still can't figure it out

How do you mount a stem thermometer into a boiler without it leaking??
