Christmas list

Okay, so I need to give my wife a few options on how to spend $250ish on me this year. I did like the idea of the Brewer's Edge mash and boil brewing system with the fermentation lid, BUT I want to give multiple options. Ideas or suggestions?

Note: I have all the pots that I need, thermometer, bench capper, scale, bottles, and misc stuff. I bottle condition beer as well and have one small keg that works for my amount of consumption.

Lost as far as other suggestions, but I would like to have better control (automated) of mashing and fermentation temps (I can control mash temp pretty well but fermentation not so much when it comes to 70f and lower). I sous vide at 70f and higher so it's not an issue, but lower is.

Rambling on ... I'll stop now : )

High quality and/or custom wood mash paddle.
Design and build a temperature controlled room for your fermentations or cellaring.

That seems assbackwards if that's true.

whilst we're waiting for Michael Tonsmeire's book on hoppy beer

Gah, obviously I meant Scott Janish and not his business partner!

Original plan was to start pre-sales in September, but obviously the small matter of starting a brewery has got in the way. Still due by Christmas allegedly.

Brewing in Burton-upon-Trent by Ian Webster is another book that looks interesting.

I have everything I need. Except a wench. I could use a brewing wench.

First step: don't call them wenches.

OK.. Fair enough.
I want a beer maid in a tight fitting dirndl then...….
