Hi
I'm a newbie and I just noticed my thermometer (Beer and Wine Floating Thermometer by Alla made in France) has broken housing at the non business end top. What looks to be the working parts inside are still intact. Not counting broken glass shards in wine concerns does anyone know if inside that housing had either problematic gas or liquid that would be dangerous in the wine? I believe that between several rackings over several months plus my plan to run that batch thru several coffee filters glass would be non existent by bottling time (not to mention that my cleaning methods while working mostly involve using a turkey baster to jet the sulfite solution over the tools in a tilted bucket which would make any actual glass transfer highly unlikely in the first place). Just hoping some science oriented individual can guide me in how problematic my broken thermometer really is.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
