Digital Thermometer

[Bugeater]

I also have to ask why? If it is for the "geek" factor, I see it as a worthwhile pursuit (kind of like someone's Binford 6100 Series control panel). If it is to help make better beer, you are better off using that time and energy to tweak some other part of your process.

I used to obsess over monitoring my mash temps too. Once I figured out that if I leave the lid on my mash tun, I lose less than 2 degrees during a 60 minute mash and less than 3 degrees during a 90 minute mash. That's not enough to worry about. I just dough in, stirring enough to make sure the temperature is stable at the temp I want and just stick the lid on it and for get it. I then spend the time getting everything else ready for the boil. Sometimes I will do something stupid like get on this forum during the mash. Those are the times I do a 90 minute mash because I space off what I'm doing.

My stand is why obsess over something that isn't going to make a difference.

I wonder if there is a bluetooth compatible thermometer yet....

Not to hijack this thread

I work for a measurement company
My latest project is to wireless enable our products

Which I want to do more for personal reasons

So i can
Measure ferment temps in my garage as a data logger
Measure ambient temps in my garden as a data logger

What other features make a wireless temperature meter really useful when you can just use a long wire?

OOOhhh... a body temperature log without that pesky wire coming out of your pants

If someone wants to foot the bill, I'm happy to design & build this product.

How about measuring the temp in my boil kettle so it will beep at me when it gets to, say, 210F while I'm scrubbing the tun or fixing a sandwich or whatever.

This tecnology could also be used to tell when the 'ol lady is ready for some! We sould incoporate a moisture sensor too...
