This is a forehead thermometer and generally off topic for us.  The thing that brings it back on topic is…

Works with Surface Temps… I ordered one of these and have received it.  It DOES work for regular surface temps.  You just need to change the mode by holding both the start and power buttons at the same time.  That means it can work as a traditional IR thermometer as well as a forehead thermometer.

  • Today 7/29/24 only WAND is on sale for just $19.99. No coupon code required.

Hands on Review: Inkbird IHT-1P Digital, Instant Read, Waterproof, Rechargeable Thermometer

Updated: July 25, 2024

This review is by Homebrew Finds Contributor Michael Gom.  Read more about Michael below.

Hands on Review: Inkbird IHT-1P Digital Thermometer

The thermometer itself

Back sideSide view



A look at the charging port coverAnd with the cover opened, it is tethered to the thermometer so you don’t lose itAs soon as you open the probe, the screen comes on. Nice back-lit screenThe body of the thermometer has a small “catch” piece to keep the probe in so it doesn’t accidentally open on you if it’s in your pocket.

Accuracy Tests and Calibration

Initial calibration seems accurate from the factoryAt my elevation, water boils at approximately 200.6 degrees F. Boil test looks accurateBrew day! Reading 148F for the mashCompared to 149F setting on my anvil, pretty much on-point! – Related: Hands on Review: Anvil Foundry Brewing SystemAnd again, boiling at around 201F which is accurate for my elevation

Notes on Calibration

A note on calibration, the procedure is different than other thermometers I’ve used. This allows you to change it + or – within 5 degrees F of freezing or boiling, + or – 3 degrees Celciues.

So if you check it in freezing water and it reads 1 degree high (33F) you would close the probe, hold the calibration button while opening it to enter calibration mode, then press the button until +1F displays on the screen. This will tell it that it’s reading 1 degree high and adjust it accordingly. Note that I did not do this as mine was pretty accurate out of the box.

Also the thermometer will display the temperature to the tenths of the degree up until 100, then it will just show the whole number. So you get a more “accurate” or “higher resolution” degree at lower than 100 degrees. As seen in the ice water picture, the temp was 32.8 degrees, but the boil temperature shows 201.


Backlight Operation

The backlight stays on for about 30 seconds, pressing the button again will turn the backlight back on if you need it.

Battery Level Indicator

A nice feature is it shows the battery level. I didn’t capture a picture but while charging it shows a lightning bolt over the battery indicator, the it goes back to the standard battery indicator once fully charged. I haven’t run the battery dead yet so I don’t have a charge time but I think it would only take about an hour to fully charge.

Auto Shut-Off

The thermometer itself will auto-shut off after a few minutes even if the probe is open, pressing the button or closing it/opening it again will wake it back up. Also, if it’s off but it detects a large temperature change, it will wake back up as well. A few times i placed the probe in the wort while the device was off and it woke up and read the temperature.

Response Time

Reading time is fast, it gets an accurate reading within 5 seconds.

Conclusions

Time will tell on the longevity of this unit but so far it has worked for my 2 or 3 brew days I’ve used it without issue. The calibration steps seem a bit weird to me but otherwise it works as intended and i’m glad to not have to deal with those CR2032 batteries that my old thermometer used.

More About the Author:  I’ve been brewing for about 8 years, started out with a 5 gallon extract kit and was hooked. Jumped into all grain after about 5 or 6 batches of extract. Since then I’ve run the gauntlet of partial mashing to building a cooler mash tun to BIAB. I recently switch to an electric all-in-one system and love it, this is my preferred method now due to ease of use and time saving. I have no professional brewing experience. I prefer pale ales and IPA’s mostly. Trying my best to be a good home brewer while also being a good family man for my wife and two kids!

$50 Off ThermoWorks Thermapen IR Thermometer

The Thermapen IR from Thermoworks combines everything people love about the Mk4 with addition of an Infrared Thermometer.

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

The new Thermapen IR combines the unparalleled speed and accuracy of the Thermapen Mk4 with the versatility of a professional infrared unit. Why carry two different thermometers when you can just carry the Thermapen IR?

  • Adjustable emissivity infrared from 0.1 to 1.0
  • Patented auto-rotating display
  • Max/Min infrared displays
  • Foldaway thermocouple probe
  • High accuracy probe to ±0.7°F (±0.4°C)
  • Probe readings in only 2-3 seconds
  • Motion-sensing sleep & wake mode
  • Display temps in °C or °F, 1 or 0.1° resolution
  • Includes NIST-traceable calibration certificate
  • IP54 (not waterproof like the Thermapen Mk4)

View both infrared and penetration probe readings from either hand in any position with Thermapen IR’s patented 360° auto-rotating display. In Probe mode, set the unit down, and Sleep Mode saves battery life. Pick it up, and it turns on automatically. Close the probe when you’re done and it powers off for storage. Each unit ships with a NIST-traceable calibration certificate for both the probe and infrared so you know it’s accurate.

Thermapen IR is a must-have, versatile tool for restaurants, health inspectors, manufacturing, laboratory, and more.

 

Note from HBF: I have long advocated IR thermometers in select situations.  This unit really combines the best of both worlds.  Since IR no touch, you can check the temp of yeast washing and yeast rehydration water and your starter wort without the risk of infection.  I find mine particularly useful for rehydrating yeast.

ThermoWorks is discounting this by $50 as part of a short sale. No coupon code needed. Check product page for current availabiltiy.

Industrial IR Gun (IR-GUN-S)

Industrial IR Gun (IR-GUN-S) from ThermoWorks

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

  • High quality 12:1 optics
  • Bright laser pointer
  • Point and Shoot simplicity
  • Max temp and hold features
  • Easily switch from °C to °F
  • Backlit display
  • Adjustable emissivity

The IR-GUN-S non-contact infrared thermometer is your best deal in a basic infrared temperature gun. IR-GUN-S Infrared Thermometer is designed for broad general purpose use in research, industrial applications, HVAC, construction, repair or maintenance services, and even around the house if you’re technically inclined.

Compare

Use this versatile IR thermal sensor to read surface temperatures from a distance – instantly. IR-GUN-S has a quality lens and machined baffles to ensure accuracy with a 12:1 distance-to-target spot ratio. At 12″ you can measure a 1″ spot diameter. And, the thermometer gun’s bright pointing laser helps you aim.

IR-GUN-S includes an adjustable emissivity so you can set the IR thermal sensor to read a variety of different surface materials. Operation is simple. Pull the trigger on the IR-GUN-S to instantly read the surface temperature you’re pointing at. Let go of the trigger and the reading will stay on “Hold” for several seconds so you can take note of it. While the infrared thermometer’s trigger is depressed, you can also scan looking for MAX/MIN temperatures as you move the temperature laser gun across a larger target. IR-GUN-S is a useful thermometer to help find hot or cold spots in walls, insulation, heated objects or larger areas. Other features include an averaging function and a differential mode. High and low alarms are easily set so IR-GUN-S will beep for readings below or above your preset thresholds.

The main display of the infrared thermometer is big enough to read and it’s backlit for easy viewing anytime. Batteries are included and replacements can be found anywhere (2xAAA). Order the optional holster to protect the IR-GUN-S between uses. This is a hiqh-quality, professional infrared thermometer that will surprise you at this price.


 

Since this is no touch, you can check the temp of yeast washing and yeast rehydration water and your starter wort without the risk of infection.  I find mine particularly useful for rehydrating yeast.

Infrared thermometers should not be considered a direct replacement for a conventional thermometer.  A quality IR thermometer will give you a close approximation of surface temperatures.  Note that steam seems to throw off readings.  Uses include: Contained yeast rehydration water, chilled wort or starter temperature, kegerator, fermenter or fermentation area and beer tasting samples.  If you’re looking for a great conventional thermometer consider Thermapen ONEHands on Review

Since this is no touch, you can check the temp of yeast washing and yeast rehydration water and your starter wort without the risk of infection.  I find mine particularly useful for rehydrating yeast.

Infrared thermometers should not be considered a direct replacement for a conventional thermometer.  A quality IR thermometer will give you a close approximation of surface temperatures.  Note that steam seems to throw off readings.  Uses include: Contained yeast rehydration water, chilled wort or starter temperature, kegerator, fermenter or fermentation area and beer tasting samples.  If you’re looking for a great conventional thermometer consider Thermapen ONEHands on Review
