My current brew pot is 8 gallon and i want to start using it for all grain.
There is no ball valve or thermometer on it.
I was think either getting a weldless stainless steel 3 peice ball valve and either a weldless brewometer or maybe a digital thermometer with a probe. I’ve seen some of those that have min/max temp alarms and timer.
Which thermometer is best for all grain? If it’s the digital with probe does anybody have a recommendation?
Do I need to get a blichmann 3 peice ball valve or is that overkill?

If you brew pot works for extract brewing, it will work for AG brewing with out modifications.
I use a basic AL turkey pot and, thermometer, and SS racking cane.
Now, if you want to add these things, that is another story.
I curretnly have a digital thermometer short stick that I’ve tried to use in the past, but when I stick my figures in the pot they start burning. I probably really need a long thermometer which is probably $20.
So for $10 extra I could get a real nice blichmann brewometer.
So there are no adverse affects from racking from brew pot versus using a ball valve?
