gift idea

[homebrewwife]

Looking for a gift idea for my husband. I have officially ran out of ideas on home brewing things to get him. We have all the basics. Plus a pump, chiller, kegs, and all the measuring toys. I'm looking for a wow that's awesome kind of gift. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Temp control fermentation.
Flask for yeast starters.
Stir plate for yeast starters.
Keezer/kegerator build.

Not knowing exactly what you have it's hard to give suggestions.
Good luck

Hello "Homebrewwife",
You are an extremely thoughtful wife. Your hubby is a lucky man. Could you give us an idea of a price range that you want to stay in? I can guarantee that you will get a bunch of good recommendations from all of us who have our own wish lists in mind!

do you brew all grain ?

a pallet of grain would be WOW for me

just a few sacks of Golden Promise or MO would be awesome!

I brew a bunch

but you a right a couple of sacks those would very nice indeed

 

[sandyeggoxj]

I brew a lot too. But I only order by the 1/4 pallet.

You could start him down the road of a diy glycol chiller for fermentation. A pH meter and/or ro system would be great.

What was your budget on this gift again?

How about a dedicate brew room with an electric 1 bbl brew rig?

Price range would narrow down the suggestions to a manageable list.

Well, how about a digital temp controller & a used fridge to ferment in?

 

[Billy-Klubb]

if your hubby doesn't already have one, how about a Perlick Creamer or a Stout faucet?

Then she'll see him running from the kegerator yelling NOOOOOSSS!

 

[CJ-3]

How about a custom sign for the brewing area with his name/name of his brewery?

 

[Brettomomyces]

Or custom printed or etched glassware

This is a great idea, my wife surprised me last year with this.

Thank you guys for the ideas. I've googleing them all. I'd like to stay under the 200$ mark. I got him bags of grain and fresh hops for the last gift giving holiday. Interested in the yeast making idea. He has the custom signs and glasses. He built a Keg frig already. He has ALL the measuring toys. The sugar kaleidoscope thing. I really like nitrogen beers. Any thoughts on getting him the equipment for that.

I LOVE the term "sugar kaleidoscope thing." I'm never calling it a refractometer again!

Deep Wood Brew has some cool stuff...

Here's something that he might not get for himself but might be nice if you typically have more than one beer on tap: a flight taster board with little 4oz glasses on it - like this (no affiliation with this site - just liked the photo):

I want one of these badly but my wife made me promise I would let Santa bring it for me.

 

[Jupapabear]

Nitro would be awesome! Here is where I shop for kegerator parts: http://www.kegconnection.com/nitrogen/

You had me at "sugar kaleidoscope thing." I'm also now a convert! =D

 

[BeerFireBrew]

If he kegs, how about a Blichmann Beer Gun? It's a great way to transfer beer from a keg to bottles if you want to take some out of the house! I don't keg (yet) but when I do, I'll probably buy this at the same time.

Here is a link (under $100!): http://www.homebrewing.org/product....m=ProductAds&gclid=CKXBqbX1msECFc1_MgodpHQAFw

Also, I really hope your husband is commenting and giving recommendations on this thread. That would be funny!

Good luck!

I don't have the sugar kaleidoscope thingy, so this can't be my wife. but if my wife is reading this, I could use a sack of Marris Otter!
