In the same boat here. I've been on the fence about buying one of these for about a year. Would be a pretty handy tool for monitoring mash temp and/or water temp (while heating strike/sparge water) for me since I brew out my shed and am constantly running back and forth from the house.LeafMan66_67 wrote:Looks cool ... but no idea how well it works.
We discussed electronic temperature probes while brewing at Tim's during the lagerfest. It seems most of us have killed at least one trying to use them in liquid. If anyone has experience with any kind of electronic thermometer that has survived well in a brew kettle, I'd love to hear.jeffsmith wrote:In the same boat here.

Hmm, group order? They have pH meters as well (including one that has temp and pH in one meter). Looks like there are price breaks for some items when bought in multiples. And of course shipping will be reduced if we combine.John G wrote:I've gone through a quite a few digital thermometers both at work and at home.

i might be convinced to get a thermapen. their pH meter doesn't do the 3 second temperature, so i'm not interested in it.chalmers wrote:Hmm, group order?

We've added another version of our popular RT600 series. The RT600C offers a Super-Fast™, reduced-tip probe for 5- to 6-second readings. The sealed body of the thermometer features rubberized switch panels, a robust LCD window, and it withstands temperatures to 190°F so you can record peak temperatures in commercial dishwashers using the Min/Max feature.
There are many digital pocket thermometers on the market that are similar in shape and cost. BUT, none are this fast! Most of the others have probes that are too short. Some have welded or brazed joints in the shaft which can shelter microbes or are easy to break. And, the body of the RT600C is just plain tougher than the others. Speed, reliability and affordability. The RT600C is a better choice for lab work, food processing and high-volume food service.
