ah, now I see. I love the small temp sensor.
I have a sight glass that has a T, I think it's quarter inch, but I have just a plug in the end that might be able to be used to thread in a sensor, if the sensor can stick in farther and is thin enough not to impede the flow into the sight glass.
I'm considerring adding some more valves and qd setups for whirlpooling in the kettle anyway. My over-the-side setup has a few drawbacks. Because it's in the wort on the inside, it has an air pocket in it, which makes it difficult to prime and start, and I put the outside qd's down low, but should have kept them high. I accidentally started a siphon by disconnecting one while the fluid level in the kettle was over the inside pipe... Even once it's lower, it still drops a half-to full cup of fluid out that way... I figured valves through the side would be easier to get started and control without air pockets.
sooooo... that's my long winded way of saying I ain't afeared of drilling the **** out of my vessles to add more components if necessary.
boy I can't wait to get started on this.
I've got a live tv event tomorrow night, so it'll be Wednesday before I can start trying to wrap my head around it all and run it past you.
