What came in the mail for you today?

[pshankstar]

Just got my new thermometer in. The specs are comparable to the thermapen, but cost a good bit less.

How long is the probe on it? Also where did you buy it from?
I'm looking to get a long probe thermometer to check my mash temps for BIAB.

Edit - I see someone else already asked and you responded. I should have finished reading the thread before asking. Browsing via the iOS app.

fermentologist is a wine specialist, fermentationist is a fermented food specialist, so it is correct.

Plasma cutter...the team bought it for our chief mechanic as a thank you for all he does...and because we have a lot of plate to cut in the near future.

And a butt load of 1948 Plymouth parts...for the race car. Because flatheads rule.

What was the deciding factor over the other vendors? I'm still thinking on who to go with for my next kettle.

I use the exact same set up and you need this to help prevent mold:

Damprid

That freezer works like a champ!

What was the deciding factor over the other vendors? I'm still thinking on who to go with for my next kettle.

i wanted top-of-the-line and started with looking at blichmann. great products but a few things rubbed me the wrong way. i stumbled across spike and after some research, went with them. a blichmann g2 presently costs $415 for a 20 gal boilermaker g2, the spike version presently costs $280. to be fair, this isn't a truly apples-to-apples comparison. the g2 comes with a sight glass, thermometer, dip tube and outlet valve while the spike kettle does not. but that is kind of the point: you pay for those features with blichmann whether you want them or not. already have a thermometer? you're paying for a new one. don't need a sight glass? too bad, you're paying for one. don't want to use the linear flow outlet valve? sorry, added to the bill.

spike offers all those features but as 'a la carte' pricing. you get to pick/choose what you want. plus they do custom welding work for very reasonable pricing. welded vs. weldless fittings, i'm indifferent but as a guy who has limited metal experience, i wasn't interested in buying a $400+ kettle and starting to punch holes in it to work with my setup. spike made this a no-brainer choice for me.

and they are wisconsin-based so i can't argue with that.

Another good option is Eva Dry. Unlike this (which i think is calcium chloride based) which is consumed and then you have to through away, it uses a reusable silica gel desiccant.

I bought a pair almost 5 years ago and i just plug them in about once a month or so to 'recharge'.

+1 for eva dry, it works great!

Dermapaw for my dog. So far she hasn't licked her paws. Fingers crossed it isn't just my imagination and keeps working.
