Hey all, I am planning a trip down to Raleigh NC next week. I'm hoping to bike the Neuse River trail, the Raleigh Greenway and other nearby areas. The ride will end (hopefully) near the better breweries. Might not have a car so might stay at nearby hotel. Appreciate any brewery advice.

I prefer supporting my local homebrew store, great bunch of folks and always there when I need them. Got to keep them in business.

I got one of these a few weeks ago but travel and the holidays have prevented me from using it. Last week I finally used it, fantastic tool. It is easy to use, easy to read, and very accurate. I tested it in boiling h2o and ice bath. I got the 2 probe version, haven't used both but expect...

One can always hope. Thanks

Hi, I am interested in the Blichmann G2. I have the old keggle system and am moving to BIAB, single vessel. I am trying to reduce the weight of my brewery. How heavy is the G2? Is the price firm? We can discuss via emails Is the false bottom a Blichmann bottom made for this pot? I am local...
