Homemade Bottler

[toothfairy050]

Guys, I am working on a homemade bottler. I have a digital thermometer and need to know where I can buy a probe lead for the digital thermometer that would thread into a 1/4 inch coupling port that I am installing in the side of my stainless steel container.
Thanks Dan

I am a little confused don't digital thermometers come with a probes attached? Are you trying to just feed the probe into you bottler?
I bought an old 5 gallon coffee percolator and use that to bottle. Can not be simpler I heat up my syrup to around 200 put a couple gallons at a time into it, plug it in, drop one of those real long digi candy thermometers into it, leaving the percolator lid off of course, and just fill my bottles from the spigot. Could not be simpler and quicker. you can get a petes plug to go through a stock pot www.petesplug.com they make a stainless one but it is expensive.

I do some tinkering with electronics and worked on a digital thermometer once. I got some stuff for my project from www.omega.com
They have stainless protection tube and thermocoupler protective wire

I have an old invoice from then from 2009 it looks like I did not pay for the thermocoupler wire they may have just given me a sample since I only wanted a couple feet. I work for a very large corporation and a lot of times when they see my email they stumble all over themselves giving me "samples"

If you have a probe already
Check your probe size
