Check out the CDN DTQ450X.  It's not a lab grade thermocouple, but it is a solid brewing thermometer at a great price. 

I have a hands on review here... http://www.homebrewfinds.com/2012/11/hands-on-cdn-dtq450x-quick-read.html

I was unable to find tart cherries in my area.  I've used concentrate on two different flanders reds and it's worked out well...

I've been a happy user of Beersmith, but I've just this week been giving Brewer's Friend a try.  So far... I like it.

All Grain Brewing / Re: New to all grain. Need help with set up

« on: May 15, 2012, 09:32:48 AM »

No.  It's either a screen or a false bottom.  You don't need both.
 

Yep.  It screws into the back of the bulkhead.

With this would I still need a false bottom? I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to have both but wondering if just the hose would be good enough.
