Dried Yeast
Dried yeast should be considered for economy and ease-of-use. The primary disadvantage of dried yeast is that not all types of yeast can withstand the drying process (lager yeast, wheat beer yeast, special ale yeast). Dried yeast should be re-hydrated in about one cup of 90-110 F sterile (boiled) water for 15-30 minutes.

Brewmometer - weldless
This has the same features as the 1/2" MPT brewmometer, but comes with an integral bulkhead for easy weldless installation in a stainless steel kettle. The patent pending weldless design forms a super rigid water-tight seal. Unlike other weldless thermometer options, this will not "wiggle" in the pot or leak. The stem only protrudes into the pot by 2-1/2" long enough to get a good reading, but short enough to stay out the the way. Now available in an adjustable-angle model.
