I'm planning on ordering a thermometer and Hydrometer to start homebrewing but on all the online sights there is not one of them that gets above a 3 star rating.. Besides the liquid chrystal thermom. you stick on the sides of carboys..
I don't want to buy a product that all the reviews say will just break in a month.
I searched this sight and found lots of posts about thermapen.
Thermapens are 90$ is that my best option for thermometers?
I don't really want to spend that much. Is there a durable good thermometer for 25$ out there?
Also is there a good Hydrometer out there as well that is around the 25$ range.
Thanks for any advice you can give me.. I don't want to break the bank but i know temp. is a important part of homebrewing so the Thermapen may be the ONLY and best option.
