Calibrating Thermometers

Mon Aug 28, 2006 7:50 am

How do you all calibrate? I have a dial therm, a digital
therm, an in oven type meat therm (probe kind) and I get slightly different
readings on all 3...oh as well as the little stick on therms for bucket and
carboy. Even the thermostat on my A/C reads different from the others and I
have placed my digital therm right on the house thermostat. Thanx in
advancefor any help on this.

Place in glass h2o with ice.... as long as ice is still there after 5 min or so it should read 32F...
Dial therms there is a nut to turn to calibrate

Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.
