can you use this thermometer on anything else besides making beer?

Been a while, since I visited the company website--suggest you do that, too!--but I know it was good for any brewing liquid in a glass container that needed no more than 78-80 degree F temps. I prefer 80 exactly for kombucha, so have had to rely on this ONLY during the winter, when ambient temps are far below 80 and when I use a seed mat to boost brewing temps up to 70-80 (or I'd never get kombucha in a week or two . . would take FOREVER). Just know the strip tops out at 78-80, so if your brew needs more than that, look elsewhere for a monitoring product. Good luck.

I cannot see why not. As long as the temperatures you are trying to measure are within the range of this strip.

I'm sure you could depending on the tempature. This thermometer only reads up to 78 degrees. Good luck Cheers

sure, why not. you will definitely get a quicker response with a digital thermometer and sender unit.

Seems to me it would work fine weather you were using it for making beer, wine , mead, whatever. As long as it doesn't get too hot or cold for the adhesive or material the strip is made out of.

yes, we have it in the basement on a surface so we can tell what the temp is down there. we store our wine there.

We sell them for use with beer & wine making. But I'm sure there are lots of possibilities.

You can but you'll lose carbonation in the beer. The nitro is only to push the beer, not carb it.

no. never rely on the built-in thermometer. spend some money on a good bbq thermometer. you won't regret it.

the advantage of using this is you can dial up a temp that the regular frig thermo can't achieve. iv gone up to 65 degrees and then lager at 34 .

Yes it should. I use it for mashing grain during the beer brewing process which requires me to hold water and gain at a precise temperature around 150°f for at least one hour. My temp drops no more than one degree in that time.I would caution you that temps in excess of 180°f might cause the inner lining to warp.

It will -- but the temperature range is too high for brewing beer. The markings will be difficult for you to read at lower temperatures. Something like this: 1 X Brewcraft 12" Ss Dial Thermometer Homebrew Brew Kettle Brew Pot will be more what you're looking for.

You sure can, but you will need to change the temp on the days you want different. It does not have a day of the week function, so you will have to change the settings when you want the temp to be different. Make sure the upper limit is set high enough so when you change the temp - it only takes a few seconds. I use it on a freezer for beer fermenting. It is normally one temp range, when I lager I just make a quick change in the temp setting and I am done.

Yes, you can only use one if you wish, the other one could or could not be used for other temp readings ie in you fridge or perhaps use it to monitor temp outside of the house.

Yes, you can. But remember this is not an extended scale, nor is the instrument built to survive boiling water. So definitely do not buy this instrument if you have to measure water temperatures in the 200+ degree range. They make very good candy thermometers for that use. CAS

I suppose it depends on what you are making. I've used it to test the temperature of Hollandaise sauce and it worked fine for that purpose.

I use it for pretty much everything in the kitchen. I even used it today to verify that the air temperature in my refrigerator was too low. It's an extremely handy thermometer.

Per the previous answer, this is only the external temperature and for cooking you also need an internal temperature. This thermometer is mainly for industrial uses like air conditioning and so there is no guide with it that has anything to do with cooking. I use it for grilling only to get a sense of what areas of the grill are hot and cold relative to each other. You will be surprised about how much the temperature varies in one part of your grill to another and then it is helpful to shift things around. However, I still am using an internal instant read thermometer for checking the meat.

You can't use it to replace the brinkmann thermometer. That's why I had to drill a hole using a unibit until the thermometer fit perfectly on top of the grill lid. It was very easy to do.

That's the only thing I've used it for! I dip it a few inches into the water, hold it there for about 30 seconds, and the gauge will read accurate temp.

Yes you can, this was the purpose we purchased it for as a matter of fact. We use it for both mead and beer making.
