I know there was a post asking what was on your Christmas list. I feel we should have a follow up to see what you got.

So, what did you get?

I got my yeast starter kit and my first yeast starter going for brew day tomorrow!

My son is learning to use a 3D printer so he made me a tap handle. It was a trial run to see if the 3D-generated threads would actually work, which, as you can see, they did. So the next one will be made with green plastic to achieve a more normal looking hop.

That tap handle looks cool. Never thought of using a 3D printer for those. Great idea.

I got a tilt hydro for Christmas and excited to use it on my next batch. Truly an item I wanted but never would have bought for myself. Can’t wait to try it out.

Merry Christmas all !!!
 
After one of my clubmate's recommendations, I went for a Tilt hydrometer too. I'm looking to transfer to keg with a teeny bit of extract left so that I can spund the beer to carbonate.

That tap handle is pretty sweet. You could sell those!! I like that a lot
 
10lb CO2 tank (bigger than i thought), regulator and party tap kit. Will be brewing this week and will have something to put into a keg soon. Looking forward to not bottling. I also got a leather bound brewing notebook to keep my recipes/notes in.
 
Victoria mill, refractometer, a few new instant read thermometer. Pretty excited for next few brews to tinker around.
 
Homebrew wise, my wife gave me a really neat STACK GROWLER and a case of swing-top bottles. Also some very nice shirts, a coat, and the most comfortable pair of slippers I've ever owned.

Nothing, we don't do gifts, keeps things easier. So I built myself a 4 tap keezer.
 
I didn’t get them FOR Christmas, but I did get a pound each of Galaxy, Mosaic, Denali, and Enigma hops from YVH. I’ve got some single hop IPA’s coming up in my future! :rock:
 
We were pretty tapped out after buying for all the nieces, nephews, parents, granny, etc. so we end up doing a mid-January Kwanzaa gift exchange. In the meantime, so much booty. Foreal though, someone's stockings got filled.
 
I got a few more fast rack trays and a new bottle tree. My ones that will get the most use are from the MIL. A magnetic bottle opener that catches the caps and several wooden six pack carriers. I was told the carriers aren’t allowed back in her house unless they have some hefe in them.
