I just read that out to my girlfriend. She is always drinking milk out of my pint glasses.

I got my kits from my local home brew store. Came with a submersible heater which you dont get with your standard coopers kit. Worth every cent. (I have only done 4 runs, so I am no expert)

I'll vote for anyone who will get me that payrise.
