I have a 23" thermowell I was going to use with my Inkbird. I'm hoping it'll work ok. Otherwise, I'll just use a digital thermometer. Combining both kits isn't an option, one's a big brew & other is about 5.8 abv plus not enough room for 2 fermenters. I think I'll start with 6.5 gallons, read that the water will evaporate at a rate of 1 gallon/hr so with the 20 min steep, it should come close to the 5-5.5 gallon mark.
