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

I sensed a theme this year...

Used my Christmas cash on a Hydra immersion chiller that delivered yesterday just in time to brew this weekend. The quality on it is awesome. If it chills as good as everyone says it does, it'll be well worth the money.

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.

Socks..............So many socks!

Me too! 12 pair and some new dress shoes!

At least my 11yo understands me. She got me a collection of hot sauces!

I got the Kegco 3 roller grain mill, a stir starter stir plate and a pH meeter. My wife and son absolutely made it an awesome Christmas! And that was just the homebrew related stuff.

Do you have pics of custom tap handles?

Here's two of them, I haven't used the third one (only one tap). Top one is mahogany, bottom one is cherry and birdseye maple.

Wow! Those are beautiful.

That they are! My brother is a fantastic woodworker, and learns a new skill or two every year, usually to make Christmas presents. Stained glass, wood bending, carving, intarsia, upholstery... this year was turning.

All I have to offer in return is beer... he doesn't seem to mind!
