[quote=“grainbelt”][quote=“Hades”]For what it is worth I have also found them to be very accurate. The manufacturer did some accuracy testing on the product and weighed in on another forum. In short, do not immerse. Avoid harsh chemicals.

I never had an issue with the accuracy although never fretted about it’s accuracy so I have no idea how accurate mine were when using them, having them last longer than a month was my major issue with them. They would either stop working or show really wacked out temperatures
I just have a good thermometer sitting by my carboys clipped onto the milkcrate they sit in and has been within 1-3 degrees of wort/beer[/quote]
As the site explains, there are a couple of guidelines to keeping them in good condition. I posted the site to show what temperature variation would be normal based on ambient temp. As stated in the first sentence, my testing showed they were accurate.
