The old candy thermometer works great .cheers

Definitely thermopen I have the mk4 it’s super good and you can use it in the kitchen to assist in not killing your self with raw food! Keep the videos up! Thanks

Thermapen is the way to go for sure! I bought one early on in my home brewing adventure and haven’t had any problems. It’s a little pricey but well worth it in my opinion. Keep up the great work! I thoroughly enjoy your videos!

I use Fireboard for my temps, pretty high end bbq thermometer. Forgive me if you said something in another video about not using the mesh basket for the Clawhammer kettle. Why do you use a bag instead of the basket? Lifting weight?

Dry hopping will not affect the fermentation? Because it is not sanitized.

Just one of those days when you think I should of stayed in bed, at least you got to the end of the day with some beer. Looks an interesting brew to do and have on tap.,I use an ink bird thermometer when I don’t forget. Thought I was watching breaking bad with them big gloves on.

fun fact: mangoes along with cashews, poison ivy and poison sumac are in the Anacardiaceae family, but in mangoes, the active chemical is only in sap and skin, so the fruit flesh won't generally produce a skin reaction.

2:45 - I BIAB in a turkey fryer pot. All I ever use for mash temps is the long-probe oil thermometer the turkey fryer came with. They cost $9 new on eBay, and you'll never break it. They're obviously not precise, but the more research I hear on everybody's videos and podcasts, I'm convinced people can't tell beers apart when one is mashed in the 160's vs the 140's, despite there being a slight difference in final gravity. I may not be able to tell *_to the decimal_* what temp I'm at, but if I could be off by a dozen degrees and it wouldn't affect the final product, who cares! Inexpensive & durable always wins over ridiculous battery-powered gadgets in my book. [EDIT] - OH! 10:20 - you already have one! LOL

Your initial temp over 160? Yikes. Just leave it low and raise the temp. It's soooo hard to lower it and can ruin your saccarification that almost all happens in the first 15 minutes

Try not to press on your grain bag. It can potentially realise tannins into your boil which can produce astringency in your beer. Let it drip slowly and sparge the same way; slow and steady.

Do not never compress the grain......... seem like you need a bit more practice before making youtube videos.....
