Kettle Upgrade - Sightglass & Thermometer

This kettle is big....hard to know how much is in there. I decided to add a sightglass. Plus....a Thermometer would be good....so...added a combo sightglass/Thermo....


Here is the kettle before I started..

Start with a small hole.
Then use the uni-bit...to make the hole the right size...

There we go.

Intalled the eye bolt on top to hold the tube.

Close up of the thermometer
Next....I filled the pot a gallon at a time and marked the blue tape.

I applied the vinyl numbers at gallon increments....

Looks great and will help during the next brew.....


Next up.... a pump to move liquids around....
