broken thermometer (need to buy replacement downtown TO)

Post by lyndonk »

So i'm an idiot and cracked my thermometer. I'm hoping to do a brew tomorrow so I'm in a bit of a time crunch. I live down town Toronto (right next to Steam Whistle) and don't drive a car. Does anyone know a store I can swing by tomorrow morning to pick up a spare thermometer? I've checked google and the closest place seems to be Fermentations. Any suggestions on other stores or does anyone know of grocery stores or other stores that might have something suitable? It'd kill about 2.5 hours to trek all the way up to Toronto Brewing.

Thanks for the help!

I imagine this is late, but Noble Hop on Dundas has thermometers. Also, most grocery stores should have digital or analog ones that will be close enough for your needs. I've picked up a few $10 ones at Loblaws.
