calibrate your meat thermometer
    #19159566 - 11/19/13 12:58 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

My first pasteurize try i used Franks jar tek and the meat thermometer was borrowed from a friend. After having unsatisfactory results I was going through what I did and decided to test my meat therm for accuracy.

It was at 190 degrees in boiling water :blush: so not only did I start my time to early I also reached temps of 180 for half of the 60 min.

Lesson has been learned and I thought i would post since I cant remember a tek that had that caution in it.

A quick google search revealed how simple it is to check and calibrate.

  1. boil water
  2. insert thermometer
  3. if it doesnt read 212 degrees (that number changes slightly at higher elevations I believe) then rotate the nut on the back of the gauge where the probe meets it.
 
Thats it. a little rotation goes along way so go slow. And the case mine came in had a tool attached to it to adjust it.

Now off to properly pasteurize :stoned:

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

:thumbup:  good suggestion, i shall try this.  Very important not to have a therm read too low for pasteurizing

I bought a candy thermometer for cheap ant the water was boiling and the thermometer was reading 160 F. I am now using the thermometer that was in my home brew box and it is right on.

Thanks for the tip.

Calibrate your home brew thermometer every brew. A mash is between 149-155F usually. That's a narrow window. You want to make sure the thermometer is dead on before you ruin all the malt you just bought.
