Hey guys,

Got my beer racked into my new keg today, cant wait for it to be done carbing! The smartstrip I got doesnt seem to work, how do you guys measure the temp. of the beer in the keg? I was thinking another type of stick on thermometer but I dont think there are any around my town that go that low.

Thanks!

Cheers
Ben

I'm never to worried about the exact temperature, unless I'm naturally carbing, in which case I just want to make sure the beer is warm enough for activity. Pretty inexact science for me. And for force carbing, it's so unrepeatable for me, I don't worry about temp, but I do try to keep it in a cool area for better absorption. I just go by experience. Congrats on the keggin! You'll get the hang of it quickly.
