NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3400
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to
spare for next year. Please consider it.

Subject: sparge water heater
I heat my sparge water in the boil kettle to around 180F , then pump it into
a 10 gal plastic cooler. I am looking for a good way to keep the water at
167F until I start the sparge.
I was thinking of using a heatstick and a digital thermostat to maintain the
temperature. Do any thermostats have a submersible probe, or would I need
to install a thermowell in the side of the cooler?. Anyone know a better
way to do it?
