I need this, along with the copper preserving pan and a fermenting crock. So where do I get this thermometer?
Fermenting crock: I use a 5-gallon food safe plastic container (obtained from Gus at Wiener and Still Champion). Cost: a smile and a thank you.
Thermometer: I bought it off of e-Bay. It is now broken. I use a candy thermometer made of glass with a steel casing. I saw its twin at a hardware store for $14 this evening.
Copper preserving pan: I'll bet it is a wide open pan like I bought in Moscow. You could use a 12-inch skillet instead.
