I have a long thermocouple for my RIMS system, think its about 50 or 60 cm long. I'm thinking about reconfiguring it as I think the tip is a bit too close to the element and might be picking up some heat from the element rather than measuring the wort value which can throw the control into a bit off and it starts overshooting. In the new configuration I'm thinking of I'll be using a much shorter thermowell so probably only 10 to 20cm of the tip of the thermocouple will be in the well.
Do these things measure the temp at the tip only or along the entire length of the probe? I thought it was the former but just checking. I don't fancy pulling apart my control panel to swap out the probe. Also I use the same thermocouple on my HLT when not mashing.
Thanks.
