RE: Infra-red brewing thermometer - GET IT LOCAL INSTEAD!

I'll let you know - I bought one. I'll compare it to my dial thermometer and see how it does. I know Sean Hewitt has a very accurate one - I don't know how much he paid for it. - Al _____ From: mba-bounce(a)thebarn.com [mailto:mba-bounce@thebarn.com] On Behalf Of Michael Valentiner Sent: Friday, March 28, 2008 5:47 PM To: alboyce(a)comcast.net Cc: TheBarn Association; mnbrewers(a)yahoogroups.com; St. Paul Homebrewers Club - Public Mailing List Subject: Re: Infra-red brewing thermometer - GET IT LOCAL INSTEAD!

Hey everyone - never mind! I'm going to go buy one at Midwest instead.

Same price! I picked one up, and it may not be perfect within 0.1°F but it gives a person a good idea. I just used it to check the temp of a cooling yeast starter this morning! Cheers!

It would be real handy for brewing! http://www.x-tremegeek.com/templates/SearchDetail.asp?productID=14655 They are $24.95, plus $7.95 for shipping. But shipping for TEN of them is only $10.87, and only $11.48 for 20 of them. I'm going to order one. If anyone else wants to go in on it, send me a check for $24.95+ $2 for shipping by next Friday, April 4. I'll order them on Saturday, and I'll distribute them at a future club meeting after I receive them. If I get enough orders to bring the shipping down under $2 each, I'll distribute the savings when I deliver the thermometers. - Al _____ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
