SS Brewtech electric retrofit kit and 5500W tc element from brewhardware
 
JaDeD Hydra! Loving it too. Used it yesterday on 10 gallons of Belgian Dark Strong, and took it from boiling to 72° in 10 minutes flat. If you use an immersion chiller and it's not by JaDeD you're missing out.
 
I hit the jackpot this year! I got a 7 gallon SS brew bucket, a Barley Crusher grain mill, the home brewers companion by Charlie Papazian and a Dogfish Head hoody.
I have that book , still a good reference or good reading while " in the library"
 
Upgrading from my aluminum turkey fryer / burner to this.

the comments about wives "LETTING you have..." or the wives that "hate it when you brew..." sound depressing.
My wife cant wait for me to brew a new one and buys me grain kits quite often. We enjoy beer together .
So much this! My wife doesnt drink beer, but she whole-heartedly supports my hobby. Spouses are supposed to support each other. My wife quilts, so I bought her stuff for that.
 
I got a stick blender for pureeing fruit, a Tilt, (2) 3 gallon kegs, a second intertap faucet with flow control and a new record player for the brew room. Damn good Christmas.
 
New food saver for storing hops in freezer. Personalized Man Crate with custom pint glasses, blichmann beer gun v2!!

I should follow up and say my wife supports my hobby of brewing. She simply thinks that I have all of the equipment I need. Need yes, but Christmas is for wants........wish list includes a 3 gal corny, water ph meter, and a hop filter for my boils if Santa is listening. [emoji12]
