Christmas choices

[Donner]

So the wife got me a gift certificate to brewmasters warehouse for Xmas. So what do I get?

I kinda feel like I should invest in equipment since I have to buy ingredients. I have a good all-grain setup already, 7gal mlt, 10gal pot, immersion chiller etc.

So now to my question. I have really only toyed with two ideas. One is a grain mill of some sort. The other is a march pump with the idea of turning my ic into a whirlpool chiller.

Crushing grain has several upsides but in the summer it seemed like I really was only able to chill to ~80 degrees so the improved chiller has appeal too.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

FWIW, I love having my own grain mill. I like buying in bulk and then being able to grind when I want it. Tomorrow, for example, I'm going to brew with just the grain, hops and yeast I have on hand - no need to go to the lhbs or wait for an order.

Happy New Years!

yeah. I like the idea of ordering grains and milling them, but I can get orders from BMW the day after I order since I am so close. Being able to
get the stuff so fast means I don't have a need for a mill unless I can get in on some group buys for cheaper grain.

I kinda feel like a whirlpool ic will actually help improve my beer by allowing for faster chilling and better aroma hop preservation.

Again. It's why I'm torn.

go with the whitlpool IC for better cold break and better aroma hop preservation.
