Temperature control is critical
to the quality of beer, wine and cheese you produce. During the process
you will need to set and maintain certain temperatures. The reason is found
in chemistry. As you prepare a batch you are causing chemical reactions
by applying heat.
The ability to accurately monitor and adjust the temperature
of what ever you are making is important in some cases and critical in
others. When speed and accuracy are a must, you will need a digital
thermometer. In cases where less precision is needed such as brewing
and wine making a quality dial thermometer works well.
