The latter implies a fitting to convert from BSP/NPT to Tri-Clamp, but in any case the intent is to get the probe close to the middle of a large volume.
This is the maximum length they can drill from a single piece of metal.
For a longer probe, they have to weld a tube into a threaded flange, something which my current supplier cannot do.
I think for those lengths, you can just as well buy a thermowell and insert a normal probe.
I will do a new prototype with the bigger flange first (2 weeks) and then a production run (3 weeks).
Maybe faster, but I expect it will take at least a month.
I am currently doing brew in a bag, mashing in my 32 litre kettle. I have it on a halogen hob which I can use manually to provide a bit of heat if required during mashing. How high up the kettle wall do people think would be a good place to mount the thermowell for this use?
Hi Elco,
I’m sure you have been very busy with the software rewrite. I was wondering if there is any progress on the thermowell being available to buy? I will be ordering a brewpi (for Christmas??) if it is!
Thank you.
