Installing a thermometer on the brew kettle allows home brewers to accurately monitor the temperature of the wort. Boiling away too much water can have a lot of effects on the wort. For instance, if it boils off more wort than expected, the gravity of the beer is affected. It can also lead to more bitterness and aroma on the wort than as intended.Having a thermometer is very helpful in achieving the right temperature to avoid boiling off too much wort.
