2009 Christmas present thread

[dontman]

I am getting a Barley Crusher Mill, a keggle, and a new 2l Flask. It is a very good year.

 

[johntangus]

i have asked santa for a refractometer, a refrigerator temp control module and a beer thief. i doubt i'll actually get any of it, but i may get some cash that will go to purchase these items. online shopping is a bit over "santa's" head this year.

 

[Runyanka]

Hopefully a kegging system from kegconnection.com

 

[shecky]

I'm getting a Barley Crusher. I only know this because I just ordered it.

 

[riored4v]

hoping for a barley crusher

 

[alcibiades]

wait, how do you know what Santa is going to bring you?

 

[mattmcl]

I'm getting drunk.

 

[humann_brewing]

I'm getting drunk.

you aren't drunk, your just drinkin'

 

[beergears]

I am getting a right front fender and plastic lens turn signal for my Subaru form a repair shop

Unless I fix it myself, rewarding myself with a beer. Still need to find the lens at the junkyard though.

 

[motobrewer]

3-tap system from kegconnection.com

 

[lyacovett]

I think I will do pretty well.

Getting a keg setup with at least 5 kegs, a corona mill. A turkey fryer with 2 pots, 55 lbs of MO and 75 lbs of various other grains.

Since my wife and I have no children we do not stand on ceremony and Christmas is whenever the "Santa" who wears brown and drives a brown truck shows up.

 

[riverfrontbrewer]

Amen to that Red Dog! Thats the way we live too!

 

[cyberbackpacker]

Oh, ok.....we thought maybe you knew him or something.

 

[jgln]

New velcro watch band, can't wait.

 

[Doc Robinson]

I am getting:

1) Counterflow chiller
2) March pump
3) 15 gallon MegaPot with a ball valve
4) Colts hat
5) Stocking stuffers

 

[Lodovico]

Santa came early. I got my kegging setup. Thank you Santa.

 

[jamesnsw]

Bottle tree so far, we'll see what else!

 

[Netflyer]

All the stuff I've bought in the last 4 mos claiming it was my xmas present:

Stirplate, Flasks, Yeasts, Hops, Grains, 10gal kettle, etc etc...

:cross:

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

So far:

Another Love controller and probe (for a dorm fridge-to-yeast freezer conversion)
Two stir plates from brewershardware.com
extra stir bars
new driving gloves
new Croquet set
Oktoberfest nutcracker, and a brewer German smoker
Stocking stuffers

Speculating for future:
Lab glassware
other yeast management stuff (here's to hoping)

 

[Pivot]

Im getting a 1 tap keg set up from kegconnection.com for xmas, and probably some ingredients for a few batches

 

[Gremlyn]

My list this year consisted of everything I want for my keezer build that was under $100, so here's hoping...

 

[HossTheGreat]

Asked Santa for a refractometer and two perlick faucets. I guess we'll see if I've been good this year or not.

 

[caspio]

At this point, I don't have too many upgrades I can do that don't cost over $200, so I probably won't be getting anything.

Putting together a bulk grain and hops buy though for january/feb, so that can be a late bday present to myself. Right now we're up to about 20lbs of hops. Grain portion isn't too impressive yet at only 14 bags.

 

[chemnitz]

It's a really good year for brewing:

- 15 gallon MegaPot with ball valve and brewmometer
- 10 gallon beverage cooler and all the fittings I need to make a mash tun
- chest freezer and temperature controller

Yay! Going all-grain and starting to lager--that's one Merry Christmas!!

In other news, all of my relatives who drink beer are getting a six-pack of homebrew for Christmas. It includes two each of: Weizenbock, Scottish 80/-, and Double IPA. For the wimps, I'll sub the DIPA for some American Amber I have on hand.

 

[Cheeto]

Bottle tree
IC
3 tap set up
Stainless back splash with drip tray
and a hang over the morning after!

 

[middleofnowhere]

I got a canon rebel xsi 450D dslr camera. Pretty sweet, now to figure out how to use it.

 

[mnadamn]

my girlfriend said she just placed an order for an aubrins pid, 60amp ssr and 5500w ripp element. She told me she saw my posting in the brewing resolutions thread and said shed get me going on the electric system but good luck with the IPA's lol
