Haven't found the micro usb or lightening jack, but it's only a matter of time. I have, however, found the app. Before you know it, I'll have the rollers properly gapped and my efficiency will be in the high 50's (FTW). I kid, I kid, sheesh! ;-)

[Clonefan94]

A new drip tray for my kegerator. Since I converted my tower from one tap to 3, it was tough to find a good, looks like it belongs, drip tray to use. The wife and kids came through.

 

[BrewingViking]

Girlfriend knows me well. She even made the poor guy at the local whole foods go in the back and bring out backwoods for her before they released it.

[BlindPidgeon]

Northern Brewer's White House Honey Porter kit.

 

[JonM]

Yep! Got a scale with resolution down to 0.1 g and a Northern Brewer gift cert, which works out really well because I also received an AHA 1-year membership, and that gets me a discount at Northern Brewer, so I'm going to put those together and get a false bottom.

My birthday is a couple days before Christmas, and I was given a pH meter which I put to good use on last weekend's brewday (hit a perfect 5.3 mash pH!)

Merry Christmas HBT'ers!

[gone_fishing]

Got some good stuff this year for Christmas related to brewing.

* Wife bought old Strohs tab handles on Ebay for $10 and painted them with left over chalk board paint. Result is great looking tap handles for my kegerator.
* Stir plate and beaker
* Mom got me a wooden 6 pack carrier with bottle opener
* Cooking with Beer cookbook
* Mom got me custom pint glasses with my last name and Irish stuff on it
* Big Mouth Bubbler

Funny thing is I tapped out almost all of our homebrew a few weeks ago. I have a Chimay Clone but didn't put in the fridge since my wife's family and mine are mostly wine and light beer drinkers. Everyone asks to try my beer. Oh well. I have 6 batches to brew in teh next 2 weeks.

 

[snowtires]

This glass, some nice craft beers, and a barley crusher. And bought myself 220lb of grains
