Sooooo... What'd you get for Christmas?

[CJ-3]

Got a Copy of Designing Great Beers.

Exactly what I asked for!

 

[daveMN]

Milwaukee MW102 pH meter, 3 hpmebrew books and the parts for a spund valve from my in-laws. So the two things I learned this holiday season is that an Amazon list is worth setting up and my in-laws must be feeling guilty about something that I don't know about yet.

Maybe they just feel sorry for you. Who else but a homebrew geek wants a ph meter and a spunding valve for Xmas!

At least they stuck to the list this year. Normally it's a bunch of crap I don't need. Cause seriously, what else says Christmas like pH? [emoji1]

Well, nothing beer related.
But a couple of checks and gift cards between my December birthday and Christmas justified buying a Millar's Mill. It's on the way.

 

[Ogroat]

I got the hook up. My father has been getting into woodworking and slowly amassing a workshop over the past couple of years. Completely unbeknownst to me, he put together an amazing grain mill cart, complete with a motor to run the mill. I can’t wait to give it a shot.

I’m pretty sure he is my long lost biological father and he really meant to give that to me, but if it makes you feel better I will let you borrow it.

Just the beer related things,
Girlfriend hooked me up with a dry-bar (accent table) for my new house, Step-mom's mom got me a couple of pint glasses and a nice stainless bottle opener, mom got me a random build 6 where she "picked neat looking labels" and my sister got me a 6 piece beer glass set so now I can finally enjoy my beer in appropriate or my preferred glasses at home. With the addition of that Dry Bar I've moved a kegerator way up on my list of things to get. I'll soon (hopefully lol) have draft beer in the little entry way behind my living room and look super classy while I'm doing it.

Mom gives Amazon cards to us for Christmas, so used mine to get a new waterproof digital thermometer (USB charged, no batteries to worry about!) and a digital scale that will weigh from grams to 15 pounds for accurate hop & grain measuring. Brewpub boss has been busy with the move, but got some hints that I would be getting a pick of the equipment we won't be needing in the new place....come on great big plate chiller!! Non brew related, also getting a small stand mixer from Amazon and a new side mirror & rearview mirror for my car courtesy of Amazon card from the kid & kid-in-law.

 

[BrewZer]

FastRack bottle drying rack.

 

[myndflyte]

I got a grain mill and some equipment to do BIAB (bag, ratchet pulley and PVC gloves). My parents also gave me $150 in cash that I plan on using to buy the Hydra immersion chiller.

 

[shallywag]

3 gal keg, also a couple of tap kits. Debating whether or not to install or keep the picnic tap. New fridge and I am hesitant to drill a hole in the door!

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Higher CC bills.

 

[Jtk78]

I got a gift card I'll use for kegging equipment.

 

[filthyastronaut]

Nothing homebrew related for Christmas, suspected I'd get some kegging stuff but got a soundbar that I had wanted anyway. My birthday was a couple weeks ago and I got a refractometer, though.

 

[Lefou]

An Igloo 42 bottle wine chiller with thermostat built in showed up for me. Lagering ferm chamber, here I come. I also got a roll of 3/8" copper tubing to twist into an immersion chiller. Not going to f- with either right now because my back won't take it. Had two consecutive kidney stones shred me on the left side last night, so even walking is painful.

 

[mpmccann]

Fermentasaurus!!!
Personalized beer mugs with brewery logo!!!
Wall mount bottle opener!!!

 

[Nokt]

I got a 10 gallon Spike Kettle with a 3 piece valve and thermometer from my loving wife.

 

[irontodd]

10 gallon bayou kettle, inkbird temp control, fermotemp, a wood 6pack beer caddy, and a copy of Karnowski's "Homebrew: Beyond the Basics"

 

[Shizog4]

Well seeing as I’ve been super busy to brew over last two years, I had to basically start from scratch with some basic items. Got a gift certificate for Austin home brew and added some needed thing such as new hydrometer and a yeast starter kit. Looking to go all grain right from the jump so I am slowly adding things.

 

[Nixon66]

I got some Spike gift certificates that had me purchasing my 10 gallon kettle on Christmas morning! Good god it's a nice piece of kit. Looking forward to warmer days so I can brew with this thing!

From my brother: Three custom tap handles that he turned on his lathe.
From my girlfriend: A coaster with my logo wood-burned into it, an LED board to go next to my kegerator, a beer-tasting party kit with sample glasses, tasting note sheets and food pairing book, and a glass from the Fullers Brewery pub, which was actually my favourite of them all.

I had gone on the Fullers tour when I was in London in September, and ended stealing this beautiful pint glass:

They had them at their home pub on the corner, but not for sale anywhere. So, one came home with me. Last month, was cooking and drinking my English bitter in it, and set it down on the edge of the counter- smash!
As I found out, by the time the glass was cleaned up, my wonderful GF had already asked her dad to pick one up for me next time he was in London for business.
Here's the best part. The glass is available for sale online, but still not in the store at Fullers. So now my GF's dad, international businessman, had to go to the pub and steal it too!
Made my Christmas!

 

[Home_alone1]

I got 200 dollars for the brew store and everyone pitched in and I also got 300 bucks cash. Bought 2 more kegs so now I have 3 , also bought a fermentation controller and a chest freezer !

 

[bobeer]

The wife got me a 55 lbs sack of 2row and a new locally made mash paddle. The in-laws gave me one of those magnum bottles of Anchor's Christmas beer too. Not too shabby!

 

[Clearbeer1]

My wife gave me a pair of the new Anvil 7.5 gallon SS fermenters. I have them tucked nice and cozy in my freezer/fermentation chamber.

Do you have pics of custom tap handles?

 

[beermanpete]

I used my Christmas bonus to buy a keg kit with two 5 gallon kegs.

 

[LoneTreeFarms]

A fingerprint hand gun safe to go under the bed. Something to keep the kiddos safe from my "other" toys.

 

[JohnSand]

Not as big as it looks here. That's about a six gallon bucket.
