Thermometers & Scales for Precision Brewing
Brewing is a science—and precision makes all the difference. Our collection of Thermometers & Scales helps homebrewers monitor temperatures and ingredient weights accurately at every stage of the process.
Whether you’re tracking mash temperature, ensuring your fermentation stays in range, or weighing hops and grains, these reliable tools make consistency simple and repeatable for any homebrew setup.
Top Thermometers & Scales
- Fermometer – A simple stick-on temperature strip that lets you monitor fermentation temperature right on your carboy or fermenter.
- Brewing Thermometer – A classic stainless-steel thermometer for quick temperature checks during mashing or boiling.
- Mini Home Brewing Scale – Compact and precise, ideal for measuring hops, sugar, or yeast for perfect proportions every batch.
- Clip On Kettle Thermometer – Attaches easily to your brew kettle for constant temperature monitoring during boiling or steeping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is temperature control important in brewing?
Temperature affects yeast activity, flavor profile, and fermentation speed. Keeping it consistent ensures your beer ferments cleanly and predictably.
What temperature should I ferment my beer at?
Most ales ferment best between 65°F and 72°F, while lagers prefer cooler temperatures around 50°F. Use a Fermometer or digital thermometer to monitor precisely.
Do I need a scale for homebrewing?
Yes. A scale ensures your hop additions, sugars, and adjuncts are measured accurately for balanced flavor and repeatable recipes.
What’s the difference between analog and digital thermometers?
Analog thermometers are durable and easy to use, while digital models offer faster readings and higher precision for advanced brewers.
Can I automate fermentation temperature control?
Yes, with a WiFi temperature controller like the Inkbird ITC-308, you can maintain exact fermentation conditions remotely.
