What came in the mail for you today?

Hot wort catcher. Thanks Brewswag.

 

50 ft of beer line. This stuff is cheap and no flavor. More goo gone to help remove those stubborn labels. And a new beer log book.

 

I got the same lines on Amazon and installed them yesterday. Cheers

 

Nothing. It's Sunday.

 

The ingredients needed for a Red Ale. I won't get to it until Friday. Good News: It's already Monday.

 

A Blichmann bottle filler. Needed something to go from keg to bottles to share with the local home brew shop. A friend said he loves it so figured I’d take a chance.

 

4 oz of Northern Discovery hops

 

4gal fermenter, Anyone try these, thoughts?

 

I use one to bottle my Brett beers. Let me know how it turns out.

 

An awesome package from the mystery bean swap from @pshankstar.

 

Stickers

 

I got a couple of these to use for bottling the small batches. The lid comes with a gasket that does not easily stay in place, at least not for me. The lid latches down with out too much turning without the gasket I’m not sure that tiny pests would be kept out... those damn fruit flys can get past airlock lid vents. The bottom is not flat, but is rounded, so the trub, would probably not get picked up in the flow of the spigot. They appear to be repurposed beverage dispensers.

 

I just ran across one of your sticker over the weekend and quickly adhered it to the beer fridge.

 

These ones are quite inexpensive; those ones a bit more $$$

 

Cleaner

 

I forgot about the hops @TBC Thx!!

 

Stout ingredients and some misc. grain I forgot in my last order.
Sláinte

 

A little side action with @bradccook

 

2 new kegs and an extra regulator for purging and force carbing.

 

Stir plate, 2L flask, PH meter, and a book! Going to make my first starter for an Oktoberfest set for Sunday.

 

I ordered this in December. Forgot about, just figured I'd never see it. I really wish I hadn't. Awful timing for a withdrawal from my bank account....

 

Wilserbrewer bags to make cold brew coffee in my new 1gal fermenter.

 

Airation set up. Had a few beers conk out early lately. Time to find out if this is the issue.

 

I like to name my vessels. This one is called "She's Pissed".

 

Guess you'll be VERY involved with the home brew trade thread!

 

God I hope! I'm not going to fire it up until I've got an issue tracked down. Still haven't bottled one to send you for your evaluation. And I still need to bottle for @jason613 .

 

Speaking of @jason613, thanks for the goods my man! Loaded with Peanut Butter. Retails were truly appreciated. Loaded with dog treats and a really cool red cylinder shaped dog toy with the ugliest shaped 'W' I've ever seen, is a bonus!

 

Working on earning my iTrader cred, @HopsNTails sent me a package which included this beauty. I’m drinking it now and am ashamed to say that I ever believed what an IPA was before now.



I’m not crying, you’re crying.

Here’s the whole cache

 

A new 3 gallon carboy to cold crash and lager some 3 gal batches and 1 piece S airlocks to stop cold crash suck back I hope.

 

How does a one-piece S-shaped airlock prevent suck back during cold crash? I ask because I once stuck my Speidel plastic fermenter in my spare fridge to cold crash a beer and one side of the fermenter caved in. They're built quite sturdy so that's some pretty powerful suck back. I can't imagine a simple, small airlock is going be impenetrable to such a powerful force.

 

I've read several older threads on the subject and it doesn't stop the suck back (air) per se, it supposedly prevents the liquid in the airlock from being drawn back into the fermenter which I have had happen with 3 piece airlocks... we'll see what happens. If all else fails, I guess I have 2 new airlocks I can use for other applications.

 

I've read pretty much the same. It's for that reason that I don't cold crash at this time. I also read about using a large balloon to capture CO2 during fermentation and sucking that back in instead of oxygen when cold crashing. I may experiment with that down the road.

 

Why didn't you get the big one..... Lol

 

PH meter, small funnel and bungs for 1 gallon carboys and some New England style yeast

 

New sink for the brewing room/bar area.

 

Four keg hop stoppers from The Electric Brewery. This should help me ferment in my kegs and not clog the dip tube and/or posts.

 

Hop Box #2.

 

No pics but yesterday brought one of these https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/spincycleoverboard.htm

and some camlocks to finally start using the little brown pump I've had for a while for a whirlpool and cooling

 

Got two all grain kits for my birthday---a Belgian wheat and a Saison. Nice beers to beat the Louisiana heat!
