While home on leave, I went and visited a local hops farm that my dad does business with. What a cool trip! Going to start ordering MI hops to sell in my beers!

I bought the Midwest Groupon and got the starter kit and moved from Mr. Beer to extract brewing. I completely forgot that the kit comes with a $25 gift certificate! :ban: Now I'm trying to decide what I should use it on... So, what would you buy with $25? On a separate note, if anybody...
