Self-adhesive, flexible and waterproof liquid crystal thermometer is great for sticking to fermenters: once affixed, it will display the temperature of the beer or wine inside, with a 39° to 97° F range in 3° calibrations. 3/4" wide, 5" tall. To install, just remove the backing paper and stick.

Accurate and easy to use!
I love this little sticker thermometer! It's super easy to apply, sticks well, and gives a clear, quick reading. I use it on my homebrew fermenter and the temperature readings have been spot on compared to my digital thermometer. No batteries, no fuss — just stick it on and go. It’s a simple tool, but very effective. Definitely recommend if you need a no-hassle way to monitor temperatures.
Nice thermometer
Bought this thermometer to put on my fermenting bucket to keep track of temperature. Accuracy when checked with my IR thermometer is good - maybe a degree or so off? But then it's hard to say if that's the strip or the IR unit. The price may be a little higher than other places (such as the jungle "Big A" place) but buying here you know you're getting a quality unit. From the "A" place, you might get a good one, you might not!

> I used some layers of wide, see-through scotch tape and hope the crystals will work for a couple of years.< ... That was not a good idea, it helped the stripe to get ruined faster! Sorry for suggesting that! My mistake! A good product otherwise (as long as you do not plan to get it under water for prolonged times!
A necessity
The scale goes from 46 to 82F which may be a bit short for somebody lagering their beer but it is plenty for me. As I put my carboys into water for temperature control I used some layers of wide, see-through scotch tape and hope the crystals will work for a couple of years. I am not planning on taking them off again.I am happy for the permanent measurements I can get now without putting a probe INTO my fermenting meads, wines or beers, avoiding another chance for contamination. - I wonder why I didn't start using one years ago!

I recently bought two of these. I attached the first one horizontally and it didn't work. While trying to reposition it a bunch of the backing came off and that was the end of that one. I positioned the second one vertically and it never worked. The day after the trash got collected I realized that I probably should have held on to them to return them. This is the first thing I've ever bought from William's that I've not been very happy with.
