After yesterday's adventures, my buddy, who has driven 3 or 4 hours from upstate NY on 2 separate occasions to watch and learn me brew decided to pull the trigger.
We sat down this morning before he left and made a list of stuff that he absolutely needed.
I gave him am old burner and a 5 gal kettle that I use but did not need.
PAYING IT FORWARD, cuz this means that when I travel to his place in a few months, I won't have to tote along my brews, cuz he will have his own
