Gift Ideas for Brewers: Thrumometer

Posted at 3:48 pm by Patrick under Beer Geek Gift Ideas, Home Brewing

This one definitely falls into the “beer geek” category, but is a cool tool for any intermediate to advanced brewer.

The Thrumometer is an in-line thermometer for measuring the temperature of liquids flowing from your chiller to your fermentation vessel. Correct temperature of the wort at the time of yeast addition can make a huge difference in the final product, so this seems like a more reliable option than others I currently use (stick-on themometer strips). Made of polished aluminum, it seems durable, fast and accurate (nevermind looks slick too). Suggested retail is $29.99, and can be found at homebrew shops.

This one is on my list for sure.
