Use gas so no issue with burnt bags, do not trust our local muncipality, would hate to be in the middle of a brew and the power fails.

yeah, dont blame you with the state of the supply. i'm surprised every time i flick a switch that it actually works.

An electronic immersible thermometer. Should cost under R150 if the brew shop isn't pulling the piss.

Do you think this would work in hot wort? It doesn't mention anything about water resistant or waterproof. Looks the same as on a homebrew shop online

I have had one where the potting resin wasnt sealed properly and that fubar'ed. The rest have been used in the hour mash many times, (I dont bother in the boil any more, its always ~ the same temp) and lasted fine, apart from tarnishing

The price makes me wonder what the markup is in some shops. Just phoned and the price is right and they have stock in Pretoria.

How do you know when the wort is infected? I took a sample tonight and was wondering. Best way I can describe the smell is it smelled like when you bake bread and add the yeast and then you smell the yeast.
The taste was almost the same.
Is there any sure way to know?

Of an attempted weiss that's been in the FV for about 10 days now.

If there's yeast added, it's beer. Actively fermenting beer doesn't taste very nice. Let it finish.
