I love my beer gun. I got it last year for my birthday. I actually started bottle gift beer for Xmas this year. Great and cheap presents.

 

[TheBrewinator]

My brother made me an awesome chalkboard to hang on my kegerator to label my taps and a grain scale. My parents got me a gift card to Midwest, I'll be going to buy my Monster Mill 2 tomorrow so I can build my grain milling station.

Congratulations! My wife and I are expecting our first in July.

 

[Diaperload]

2 scales. 1 for measuring hops and 1 for measuring grains.

A timer in the shape of a hop flower.

About 6 glass beer mugs.

 

[kh54s10]

I got a digital thermometer, bottle/carboy washer, Corona style mill. Now I am sitting here drinking an Arrogant Bastard Ale (store bought) while contemplating a trip to the LHBS to get bulk ingredients for my next brew date.

Hmmm? What to brew?

It will be next year. That sounds really bad but in reality is 11 or 13 days from today.

[sKafifer]

also, my english nut brown is finally ready to crack open today!!!

merry christmas everyone!

 

[Skagdog]

1. SWMBO and I got to sleep until 8am.
2. I got a brew session tomorrow that the wife assures me she won't interrupt with stuff like "Can you change a diaper?" and "Will you open this thing?"
3. My first batch of beer is almost gone because people destroyed it last night! Pretty stoked that people enjoy it.
4. Spent 3 hours playing legos with my sons this morning
5. My airlock is bubblin'

Who could ask for anything more?

 

[nrock74]

Bro got me a Bayou Classic cooker. I'm pretty jazzed. I didn't mind brewing on the electric stove top at our house -my 33qt tamale pot could sit on 2 burners and with both on HIGH got a nice boil- but this will make it much easier. Quicker heating, the ability to arrange things for easy use.. runoff straight to the kettle instead of pitchers, etc.

Not to mention that we will get a couple more pots for doing fish frys, gumbo, etc.

I have the same burner & it's awesome!! You will be amazed how much time it saves.

My wife saw this and said I hate her she looks so good for someone just having given birth. LOL congrats, but that is lost brewing time right there is your wife's arms, trust me I have two!

[Wvbrewer77]

A Stout kit, and a Chianti kit. Now if I just had the time to start them...

 

[acuenca]

Stirplate, stir bar and enough malt for a KTG clone and a Wee heavy... Thank you Mrs Claus

 

[EdWort]

I got the Bowie Bottle Perlick adapter a while back and now got the Irrenarzt compliment and I must say the two together "Freakin Rock". I just bottled up some brew, but SWMBO had to help cap them (stupid elbow brace).

I also got a set of nice Guinness pint glasses. That style is timeless.

 

[rednekhippiemotrcyclfreak]

Two AG kits from NB - Big Honkin' Stout and Double IPA. Carboy cleaner, blowoff assy, two new hybrid irons and a putter. yahoo!

 

[homebeerbrewer]

As I posted in another thread:

Not brewing related, but will probably be used on a brew day or three, I got a Brinkman smoker. Can't wait to fire it up and smoke something.

Ok, I'm post whoring too.

 

[mobly99]

Surprised that I don't see a lot more grain mills given the current backlogs with most of them.

 

[Brewsncrabs]

$100 gc to LHBS for a beer gun or cooler MT. Gc for an ebook for my new Ipad2 for a brewing book.

 

[chromados]

I am getting myself a new 15 gallon Mash Tun from Kurt at Badass Brew stands. I am pretty excited to switching from a cooler mash tun to a big pot where I can do 10 gallon batches without having the size restriction of a 10 gallon cooler.

Chromados

 

[Mongrel]

50# pale malt, and 50# of pilsner.

 

[Sithdad]

My wife went homebrew crazy on me this year... She got me the book Brewing Better Beer, two packs of bottle caps, some custom coasters and beer labels, and a refractometer. I'm not complaining!

 

[Stevo2569]

It's good to see, everyone got some good stuff. I got a PID and SSR. Got a few more still coming. Hopefully a thermocouple. If not I'll order it. All for my RIMS tube that I've already installed. Also got a bunch of stainless fittings and Designing Great Beers.

We went real light this year, but she still scored. I got Brewing Better Beer and The Brewmaster Table.

 

[RelentlessJ]

Got a whole new brewing kit so I can finally start brewing at home instead of at my buddy's house with his gear.

 

[RichmonS]

I got a beer gun, refractometer and a 10 gallon cooler for a new mash tun.

 

[crazyseany]

Save the rock...if you ever decide to make kraught you can use it to weigh down your board....
