So, as Murphy would have it (and Murphy always gets his way in the end), I've spent the last 15-odd months collecting the bits to upgrade my brew system into a u-beaut AG kit. I've got the s/s valves/couplers/nipples, etc, the polysulphone QD, the silicone hose, the pumps, the fixed and handheld immersion elements, the NASA, and last on the list and about to arrive are the 3 new s/s vessels. Note that most of these have originally (via a retailer in Australia) come from the US.
But as of this week, it looks like I'm heading to Houston in Feb/Mar to work for a couple of years. So, is it worth me lugging all the assorted bits and pieces (complete with not exactly compatible threads and electrical connectivity) all the way over? Probably not. Especially considering it now becomes a viable option to just buy a flasho B3 sculpture as there are no significant freight/customs costs.
So, Murphy laughs in my face. I have to look at the upside - I'll be in a land of beer-a-plenty, but where to go? Has anyone had any experiences with micros/brewpubs/beers in general in Houston? A great brewpub would influence my decision on where I get a place there... not that I'll be telling SWMBO that h34r:
