What did Santa bring you?

[TheHunk]

in .243. Can't wait to shoot it.

 

[brrman]

The wife secretly bought me a Chillzilla and a 300 micron hop spider/dryhop spider combo... And here i thought she wasnt listening when i "offhandedly" mentioned my need for both... lol

 

[BlueHouseBrewhaus]

An oxygenation setup - stone, wand and tubing.

 

[Snowden]

Stuff to make my first batch of mead! Going to start small with a 1 gallon batch using donated honey from friends at work!

 

[Brew_Dude41]

New grain mill (some assembly required).

Going all grain for my first brewversary.

Santa started me down this path last, and my wife still is not sure if she is happy where this is going.

 

[CJ-3]

I got a home brew recipe journal. Might not sound like much, but it is what I wanted.

 

[amateur_hour]

just joined this forum and Im sure there is lots of reading to do. My brother and I are into craft beers so I decided to get a kit.

For Christmas I went to Chapters and got him a 200 beer recipes book. Little did I know until I opened it that he got me the exact same book! Hahaha

 

[1977Brewer]

NB 1 Gallon starter kit with Caribou Slobber. I steeped the grains at 150 for half an hour and added rolled oats. Figured I'd start big. Ended up boiling down way below a gallon so I topped off and pitched. Already making foam in the jug after three hours.

 

[fergusmj]

Merry Christmas everyone. I got a Barley Crusher, 15' of 1/2" silicone tubing, 2000ml erlenmyer flask, 3 3-pc ball stainless ball valves, 4 female cam locks, 3 male cam locks, and a $30gift card to my LHBS

[Devilsnight]

Beer related, I got a $50 gc for northern brewer. This was actually difficult, 1.50 a lb for 2row!?!? If it was my money I couldn't justify anything I ordered! But, have a few things coming On the other hand my wife said buy whatever you like. So I have an stc1000 and some other goodies on order also so I can start my fermentation chamber build next week. Looks like a good new year for brewing!

 

[cochised]

50 euro gift voucher so went and bought a dual output reg so I can set each keg at a different PSI

 

[Beernik]

I received a corona mill and a vacuum sealer. So there's nothing to stop me from going bulk with hops and grains this year.

 

[jrowland74]

This is what I got for beer. I also got a Galaxy Tab 4 to make brew days easier. Also, Batman footie pajamas... you know, for brew day

Edit: I also got a double edge safety razor with accessories, so now I can participate in those threads on here!

[Newsman]

2 Cornelius kegs and an O - ring set. now I just need a gas setup and a freezer to build my keezer!

Helloooo, Craigs List.

And don't forget your brewtility belt while wearing them while brewing!

 

[Psylocide]

Sweaters and cash.

And a wooden beer carrier with a bottle opener on it... now I can carry a six pack with me wherever I go. Oh and I got a magazine/book type thing with all kinds of extract recipes and brewing tips/tricks etc. I think it was called beginning brewing or something along those lines... cool book.

The one I'm most excited for though is a bar of soap that has a waterproof envelope sealed inside that contains from 1 to 50 dollars in it... you use it until you get to the envelope to see what you got, lol. Think my brother said he was just going to take a hammer to it... I'm going to wait it out.

 

[unionrdr]

My wife got something like that from our son & his fiance. A tall candle in a glass. ounce it burns down, there's jewelry left in it.

[pointcity-homebrew]

As far as my home brewing goes-

BG14 Burner, can finish my brew stand now
Keggle fittings from bargain fittings
A personalized growler
Book Beer , What to Drink Next by Michael Larson
Book Home Brew Beer, it has some simple recipes.
The Beer Book, brewery history, tasting notes etc.
Shirt- Microbrewology, Real Men Brewing Real Beer

The normal watch,cologne, shoes. I have yet to go to my parent's for Christmas so maybe I will drum up some gift cards.

 

[unionrdr]

@ psylocide-Yeah, different, but still a bit odd? I do like the tee shirt my wife got me. A black tee with a pic of Bruce Lee flexing from " Enter The Dragon" which says fear is for others. To boldly go where no brewer has gone...before! We are the Home Brewers... You will be assimilated...resistance is futile! :rockin:

 

[Newsman]

I received the brew controller kit with the heating belt and thermowell, etc. Also received a butt-load of tap handles.

 

[beerme70]

My son has become a pallet wood working phenom. I received this today for Christmas.

That is way too cool! Getting something handmade and from the heart....can't be beat! Your son rocks:rockin:

As for me, my loving wife got me a personalized glass and pitcher set.

[Strut]

Santa stopped by Bell's on the way to my house to pimp out the new kegerator with my favorite brew swag!

 

[dmcman73]

I got these two posters and an additional Spiedel 7.5 gallon fermentor. I also received a number of other things like tasting glasses and clothes.

[DaNewf]

Among other things, $90 worth of gift certificates to my LHBS. That'll cover at least 3 batches worth of ingredients.

[chuckstout]

A bunch of cool beers, my favorite being Fremont abominable bourbon, coffee and cinnamon😀 and got my wife a new phone so I can use homebrewtalk again😎

 

[muse435]

8 gallon megapot, igloo HLT, and igloo mash tun. It was a good Christmas

 

[mjdonnelly68]

Santa brought me a Pressure Cooker so I can start canning starter wort. Should be a real time-saver.

 

[user 163849]

This 16 gallon stainless steel kettle to take the place of my 10 gallon aluminum one. And a Thermo Works Time Stick along with a book titled Brew Ware. Oh and a six pack of homebrewed IPA from a brother in law.

 

[BKamp1457]

My first 5gal. ball-lock keg and a propane burner. Now more waiting an hour to boil water on my electric stove. Also brewing outside, especially on a 55F December day is great.

 

[Seismogenic]

Only one thing beer-related, but I'm excited about it!

I may still only be a few months into this hobby, but I realize I've already been thinking of each batch as an experiment of different combinations/timing of ingredients, and I definitely am happy for all these tips in exploring parameter space!

 

[FatDragon]

In addition to the stuff in my previous post, Santa also opened a duty-free imports shop relatively nearby in our Chinese town on Christmas day. The beer section is nothing but Belgians, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Now to convince my wife that I need some $18-20 750mL bottles of Gouden Carolus Christmas and Delirium Noel before they're gone...

 

[JonM]

I dropped a hint that I didn't like using the little caddy I use to carry around all the various plumbing fittings, tools, bottles of whirlifloc, etc, and Santa was listening because a cool toolbox showed up.
