FOLLOW THE DISTILLATION on Telegram! Review of a budget Wi-Fi thermometer for moonshine
Tired of glitchy Bluetooth thermometers that lose connection through a single wall? I've found the perfect budget-friendly solution for remotely monitoring your distillation process!
In this video, I'll review a Wi-Fi thermometer that sends all data and notifications directly to Telegram. You'll learn how it works, how difficult it is to set up, and what pitfalls (like probe thickness) you'll encounter during installation. This is a real find for those who want to monitor the temperature in a still or column without leaving their couch.
