Gday AD

there is a thermometer in my boiler .. I beleive some people use it to gauge the takeoff ABV without the parrot. i.e I am pretty sure i read that 98 degrees is about 20% and a good time to call it. :think:

Hi Aussie,
all boilers will run at the same temp, as linno said, you can use it to gauge the ABV left in the boiler.
I prefer my Thermo at the top of the column. But that's me.
And yes, 98 deg = 20% ABV :handgestures-thumbupleft:
