I did my second biab over the weekend.
I use the thermometer that came with my turkey fryer. (Mechanical with about a 12 inch stem.)
After the mash, I turned the propane back on to heat the kettle to 170 for mashout. I checked the thermometer every couple minutes and it just wasn't moving. After a while my pot started a slow boil. As soon as I realized I pulled the bag. Once the grains were out of the pot, the thermometer worked fine.
Any idea what is going on? Do I have a broken thermometer, or did my mash possibly have a dough ball which my thermometer was in?
I went ahead and did the 60 min boil. The wort smelled really good and primary fermentation is ongoing. I plan to finish the ferment and bottle it unless I'm told it will be horrible.
Fyi: I hit the OG almost exactly! I hope it was good sugars not a bunch of tannins
