Did my bad influence work? ;)

Nah, I couldn't pull the trigger. My Barley Crusher is on its last legs and I'm upgrading to a Monster Mill. Also need a motor and all the accessories to connect and slow it down. Hopefully this sale was so successful that Brewhemoth makes it an annual event...
 
Alright I spoke with Josh on the phone a little while ago, I had sent an email Monday and me being impatient figured I'd call them. As always Josh was very friendly and answered my question on how to go about paying for the two fittings I had forgotten to pay for.

During the call I asked how successful the sale had been and as I expected it was "four times what we expected". I placed my order around 12:10 am est and he told me there were four orders in front of me. For reference my order number was 541 and today when I placed the order to pay for the additional fittings it was 578.

I hope this info helps some people figure out where they are in line and let's all please be patient with the guys at Brewhemoth while they tackle this wonderful endeavor!
 
They sent an email out to everyone yesterday talking about how it went over greater than they had expected. I was already expecting at least 21 days at the earliest. I forget my order number, but I received my confirmation email from them at 12:10 CST. It was 10pm PST when I ordered. Luckily I was on duty on the ship and had to be up at that time anyways. I figured it would be better to jump in first to order.

On another note, DO NOT ORDER FROM GLACIER TANKS. I ordered some stuff from Glacier Tanks that day and as of today it has still not shipped. I went ahead and had them cancel it and decided to spend my $300 on tri-clover fittings over at Brewers Hardware. Glacier's piss poor response was that they handle orders on a first come first serve basis. I don't see how three full business days go by without having someone grab some fittings and throw them in a box and ship it out. Brewers Hardware has a lightning quick turnaround compared to them. It's sad too, they won't get any business from me as I was looking at their BK and I am now going to spend an additional $400 at Brewers Hardware instead.
 
Glacier tanks is a fine operation. I've used them many times and they've always been prompt and helpful.

Just another man's opinion :mug:
 
I got an email from Brewers Hardware today, four of the things i ordered are backordered. I guess they are moving their shop and can't weld for a while. Thankfully (hmmm...) I'm waiting 45 days for my brewhemths and won't need the fittings til them.

I wonder how many orders Brewers Hardware had last weekend due to the brewhemoth sale?

Today I started building my glycol chiller.....

What did you order that needs to be welded?
 
thermowells. The site claimed they were backordered until 11/30. Still says that.....

Crap.... I was afraid of that.

I spoke with someone from brewershardware, sounds like they will be cranking them out in a few weeks... I really hope I can get them before new years day.
 
I got mine today!! Just in time for the weekend. I was not expecting it that fast. They must be right on the orders. I am not sure what my order # is but I ordered it about 10:02 mountain time. I will be setting up tomorrow!!

So you ordered it an hour before the sale started @ 12 cst? Interesting.... unless you mean 10am MT on black Friday...

Either way congrats! Now hurry up and post some pics! :rockin:
 
Ok it must have been 11:02 mountain. I had it shipped to my work and I don't work in the office so I went to drop my stuff off and there it was. I will get some pictures up later tonight or tomorrow. Have to get the kids to bed first.....

LOL sooo when you say " put the kids to bed" I read *I'm sneaking the conical in so my wife doesn't see and I'm gonna pretend it's been there for years* … gotcha!
 
Ha, so many times I have brewing parts shipped to friends or work, lol. I consulted her on this purchase though as it is a little too big to hide!
 
Well it's looking good. I have the fitting from Brewers Hardware I will be putting together tomorrow.

1.5" for a temp probe. I also went with the mcmaster 1/2" spray valve so I can just use my existing pump, so that port may also be used for cleaning. I am going to get it all hooked up and see how good the spray is....

Sweet, you got what I got although I had an additional 1.5" fitting on the dome in addition to the 1" that's standard. What length termowell are you going to use? Congratulations again!

I got the 5". I have a side by side fridge I tore the center out of it. I had my 15 gallon plastic conical in their so this one should fit no problems. I have some support shelves I made for the old one I will have to remove. The fridge is setup with heat pads to control the temperature. I normally just stick the prob on the side of the fermenter but I also bought a BCS kit from ebrewsupply and my plan is to set it up for remote monitoring. With a 3 year old and a five month old I just have to find the time....
 
Some pics with the fitting on. You can see I am missing the glass in the sight glass. I need new gaskets....I ordered some I hope will work from St pats, Brewers Hardware does not sell them separately yet.
