What did y'all get?

A419 Johnson Temperature Controller

Just need a chest freezer now...

FoodSaver and a rock

A March pump, barley crusher, and a Brewhemoth Penrose kettle. :rockin:

Alot of stainless doodads....and the makings of a RIMs

Nothing. We decided not to exchange presents this year, believe it or not!

But next week when I'm "home" visiting family, I'm going shopping. I need some small items (100 corks, for one!) and some clothes.

a Monster Mill, a March Pump, Perlick 525 faucets, Camlocks and Hose

All the fittings to make a keggle!

I really should have asked for some things...but I know my gf got me the "Designing Great Beers" book. I'm pretty excited bout that!

Merry Christmas to everyone in HBT land!! I can't imagine where I'd be in this hobby without you guys...and girls!

A second turkey fryer set up and a Lowe's gift card to cover lumber ... Gonna build a three tier gravity system while I am off work next week !

I got a barley crusher and another keg.

Gots me a barley crusher, 5 lbs of easy clean, and a new 6 gallon glass carboy. That'll help when I try making wine for the first time next year.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Jackpot!!! On the rock, I mean. Are you going to use it to crush grain? Or as a paperweight for your brewsheet when you brew outdoors? Or you could boil your wort by heating the rock red hot and adding it to the brew pot. You are a lucky man!

Das Stiefel! (My last name is Stiefel)

The only brewing related item was a pint glass from my son's school - very nice. Am wearing a new shirt right now and my new flannel boxers. Want to see a picture?

But was the baby excited about it all?

New kettle, refractometer, sight glass, sack of grain, 3 lbs of hops, Designing Great Beers, Dave Smith's Home Brew book, Home Brewers Answer Book, Radical Brewing some Left Hand Brewing swag and a beer mug from the college my son attends. Simply amazing how my mother in law knew exactly what to get me.

She handed me her credit card and said get what you want off the internet.

I got a hefty gift card to my LHBS, 12 lbs of honey, and a flannel bath robe that certainly abides...

Some additions to the beer collection, a set of old school style beer glasses, and the go ahead to order a second march pump (she didn't want to get the wrong thing).
Killian's Irish Red, Raspberry Lambic, Oatmeal Stout, Delirium Tremens, Young's Double Chocolate Stout, Vanilla Porter

.. an argument with my wife.

Bayou Classic SQ14 burner and 9 gallon stainless steel pot for me. First all grain batch is not far away.

You are a lucky guy! after accidentally throwing out my large stainless steel bearing I used for weighing down my hop catcher, I started using a golfball sized river rock, those things work great! easy to clean, and environmentally friendly!!

You will really enjoy that foodsaver as well, I am up to four of them, I don't think a day goes by that I haven't vacuum packed something.

I wont be opening presents until tomorrow morning, we drove to CA to be with my wifes aunt who has about a month left, and to spend time with our God-Son. After Christmas dinner we will be driving back to AZ, maybe I will get to open a gift or two when we get in!

I got nothing, sucks being deployed.

SWMBO got me a dual keg system and a Johnson controller!!! I see a keezer build in my future.

This seems to be a trend.

I got enough cash for a keezer build, Brewing Classic Styles, and a sonic screwdriver.

Northern Brewer Irish Red kit. Receiving gifts is the one time I brew kits...it's just easier for people to buy them.

I feel your pain, I'm deployed right now too, gonna be spending Christmas with the family via Skype

I got a 6 gallon better bottle. Some Sam Adams glasses, and "extreme homebrewing" by Sam Calogone

I got 50Ft wort chiller, chest freezer #2 and 100 gift card for my LHBS. 10 gallon batch here I come....

From my girlfriends parents--200 Clone Recipes book and two Belgian ales. Allegash and Terrible.

Not bad.

only thing homebrew related is a book--"Extreme Brewing: an enthusiast's guide to brewing craft beer at home". neat thing about this book is that it's written by sam calagione, owner of the dogfish head brewery.
non-brewing related--i also got a meat smoker. now i can smoke some meat while drinking a homebrew.

My brother bought me two shanks with tail pieces and faucets, and my dad got my two more faucets. I'll be purchasing the other shanks right quick and completing the conversion of the beer fridge in short order. New years bash at my place with 20 gallons of homebrew? Why yes, thank you!

Got a Barley Crusher and a 30 plate chiller ( Bought the chiller for my self):rockin:

I'm in the same boat Yoop... Sara and I didn't exchange anything... it's a bit of a bummer... I was thinking it might be cool to do something simple next year, cause nothing to open on Christmas morning sux...

A Foodsaver, The New Brewing Lager Beer book and a pair of shoes. Also a Samuel Smith gift set with three 550 ml beers and a imperial pint glass from the in-laws.
