Floating thermometer problem

Pretty simple, American style hefeweizen.  I was trying this one out for the first time.  I'm going to rack it sometime this week.

 

Yeah, light fruit beers are good for summer.  I'm doing a wild raspberry Am. Pale Ale w/ some wheat tomorrow.

 

This all makes sense:

I just noticed that that the tip of my thermometer broke.  The red bulb was not broken.  This explains all the small pellets (balls) that I saw in the wort.  I just discovered the broken thermomenter today. After reading this post, I took the broken thermometer and used a magnet on some the "balls".  Definitely not lead.

Thanks Dudes!!

 

Maybe you could name that one "Steel Balls ........................"   lol

 

Same thing just happened to me, got to love the internet, I almost dumped.

oh, "steel ball" belgian dubbel has a nice ring too it.
