Ive used nothing but the 3 piece airlocks. They're almost indestructible. , how do you lose parts down the drain?
What came in the mail for you today?

We have a garbage disposal and I guess it ends up washing down there? Or I put them somewhere to dry and the get knocked under something or tidied away to places unknown?
I'm guessing on those two.....
Although now that I'm a little more familiar with the process, have a system and am less likely to do daft things- perhaps the 3 piece airlocks are worth trying again!
Wow' that was nice of them to send you the goodies, many just send the medals/ribbons and score sheets.

My first bulk hop order came yesterday:
8oz whole cone for mosaic, 007, & willamette; 8oz pellet for east kent golding & citra. All 2017 harvest.
This is the first of 2 orders I made recently, and the average per oz cost across both orders INCLUDING shipping was just $1.18 - I should have started doing this sooner!

my brew day doesnt end until Ive cleaned up my equipment and its all back in the brewing storage container. Nothing gets mixed with normal house dishes. My OCD of tools carries over to brewing.

Soulshine2- Probably a better habit than mine! I clean everything before sitting down/being done, but my downfall is drying, and wanting to let everything air dry before being put away. I'm starting to get better, in that I have a bin for drying brewing stuff.

Got this Crazy Porch Bomb from @pshankstar today!! Thanks for the generous shipment! Your 2nd box should drop tomorrow.

i received muslin bags today for dry hopping.
I use both 2 and 3 piece airlocks, I prefer to use 2 piece for long term aging beers since the don't dry out on me as fast. I started brewing with 3 piece so i still use them for all my short term beers.

This package mysteriously showed up from @pshankstar that smells of coffee and sounds like liquid. I’m not sure that I should open it.
Come on. Of course I need to tear into this immediately. Standup guy right here. He even wrote me a love letter.
I’ll be tearing into the beer tonight and coffee tomorrow! You da man @pshankstar.
It’s greatly appreciated.
Oh...EFF Doug.

I wouldn’t call it a love letter unless condolences is another way to show love. Haha
Enjoy bud!

Not really in the mail but my daughter brought me a supply of these when she returned from a business trip to Northern California.
Ok didn't come in the mail, craigslist find, one of the chillers not boxed doesn't work but told it is fixable. Still a killer deal. The one in the box is new. Hopefully I can get to them soon and see which one isn't working.

May need to invest in more shelving.
I got a hop spider, no more tearing muslin bags

You south of the equator?

No sir, but that can't keep me from dreaming for 6 months!
Did you get in on the RB subscription thing? Looks like a good lineup!
Just picked a peck today. Canning salsa tomorrow.

Yeah, I'm in the six bottle group...at least until the bank account runs dry.
EDIT: This way I can actually drink one of these without feeling bad.

Hmmmmmmm $160 to $200 isn't a big difference

Yes it does! Full disclosure, though, I decided to pass on renewing this year... I liked the cheaper membership cost, but I miss the extra swag and especially the year-long bottle storage. I feel like I have enough RB for now, anyway. But hey! Maybe now you can be my RB hookup!

Yeah it's a hard toss-up. I really only planned on doing it for a few months to build up my cellar before my beer budget goes to nil in a year. We'll see...
Hard toss up for sure... I may still do the 3 or 6 bottle thing. It’s just waaay to easy to spend all the money on the extra bottles and presales for the Ambassadors. I am also bummed that they stopped doing Ambassador only growlers and glasses this year, and now they’re just continuing that. Those were nice perks.

I got my kettle insulation kit to cut down on temperature ramp-up times, praise science!

Lol, crazier idea ... maybe I should actually drink one of these before I do anything further, lol! Fortunately there are some doubles from the shipment, so I may just do that.
Lol, you actually DRINK your beer??? What kind of craziness is that? All of mine are purely cellar decorations. [emoji12]
