---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2010 21:30:32 -0500 From: "Mike Maag" <mikemaag at comcast.net> Subject: sparge water heater I heat my sparge water in the boil kettle to around 180F , then pump it into a 10 gal plastic cooler. I am looking for a good way to keep the water at 167F until I start the sparge. I was thinking of using a heatstick and a digital thermostat to maintain the temperature. Do any thermostats have a submersible probe, or would I need to install a thermowell in the side of the cooler?. Anyone know a better way to do it? Mike Maag Return to table of contents
