Will this measure water temperature as well? I'm looking for a thermometer for brewing beer

Thermometer starts at 100F/40C. Yes it does measure water temp above those figures.

I'm not sure. Never tried. This is a meat thermometer. I wonder if perhaps a candy thermometer would work better since it more for liquids.

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.

J, yes this unit will give temperature readings on pipes. I am certain you will find it a useful instrument to give instantaneous temps.

It can, but it is surface temps only. For liquids, stiring while checking will get a more uniform reading.

I would maybe think about purchasing a hydrometer test jar. It makes getting accurate readings easier

I suppose you could, provided you take the necessary precautions in somewhat water proofing the temperature probe. I Initially used mine for home brewing and found it to be about 5 degrees off from other calibrated thermometers which is not good in home brewing. You might want to look around a bit more before committing to this unit.

It's standard temperature gauge.....Should work on all common needs. Never test my bread.... all temp and timing with my bread. You can use for yeast temp test... etc...

This DOES NOT work for taking readings for beer or wine. If your intent is to measure the graivity (sugar density) in beer and wine, you need a hydrometer

Yes. I use mine in a thermowell for beer fermenting and I fill the thermowell with some water. No problems.

I have used them to measure water temp and have worked out well. If they are actually designed for that , you would have to ask the engineer.

It measure Potential Alcohol, Specific Gravity, and Brix/Balling. The three of the "triple." It only reads up to a little over 1.160 and shouldn't go to extreme temperatures (it says "NO BOILING"). It sounds as if a Baume is a "heavier than water" measure, so you may need a different type of reader, one that comes with a temperature reader built into it which can withstand higher temps.

I've heard of people calibrating it with boiling water, so it may work for what you want. I'd be careful to not get the plug end of the thermocouple or the thermometer wet though.

I really am not sure, if what you want to measure is very low pressure than I think it would work. This unit measures in water column and is very sensitive.

It has a single probe that measures temperature and relative humidity. It will not do what you want - measure temperature in 2 places.

Yes. I use it for weighing hops for brewing beer. It has a plastic tray that sits on top that works good for measuring this type of item.

This test method relies on color to get a reading, which makes it difficult to use with anything other than a clear liquid. If you are testing clear water before brewing it will work great. If that is not the case try test strips instead. I've used both with great results for years before finally buying an Oakton meter. I still keep a bottle of this handy : )

yes it will I use one in a 16 gallon pot to boil beer wort takes me 20mins to go from 156 -210 boil temp

Yes this thermometer is normally used to measure the temp of liquids by immersing it 75mm (2.9 inches) into them.
