[catdaddy66]

[BrewMan13]

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.

Same here. I think this is the only hobby I've had that she encourages.

The family pooled the money and I've got a freezer on order, an Inkbird and Fermwrap. All thanks to my wife. Temp control is here, finally!

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]

Ordered with my gift cards I recieved... Can't wait to pick it up! CF15

My wife got me "Clear Beer Draught System" floating dip tubes for all of my kegs! They replace your kegs long dip tubes and work great and draw clear beer from the top of the keg, so the dip tube is no longer in the bottom with the settled yeast and other stuff. You can drink the beer much quicker (within a week after it's kegged and carbed, instead of waiting for the flavors to meld) and the beer actually tastes better than when drawing from the bottom. Very good gift!

To add to mine-work paid out our remaining vacation, so got permission to get a grain mill! Won't be here till next Wednesday but can't wait to mill my own and control the crush myself. Also husband ordered us some new South African hops from YVH that will be here Monday, I see a SMASH brewing on NYD. Yay!!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

[Rev2010]

Not from Santa, from my wallet, but I got an Ss 10G Infussion mash tun. So far with a water test it held better than my Rubbermaid. 1.5 degree less temp loss over an hour.

 

[Rob2010SS]

Ordered this with my gift cards as well! 15 gallon thermobarrel. 10 gal batches, here we come!

 

[seatazzz]

Last thing I needed for my brewery was a tiny space heater so my brew buddies (dogs & cats) can be out in the brewery with me without the husband complaining about the cold air coming from the garage..although I've NEVER heard him complain about the delicious smell of mashing/boiling wort coming from same. He's been known to come out here in his BVD's from a dead sleep just to smell what the wife is cooking. New dual temp controller has the ferment fridge exactly where it will need to be tomorrow to receive what will come out of the BK. Damn was a good Christmas. And it appears a lot of you had the same. Cheers to tolerant TWMBO!!! (those)

[Punjom]

My Wife and Kids were very generous this year!

Penguin chiller

Tons of Parts and Pieces and Books

I know I was not the poster boy of a great person this year, but I’ve been brewing >20yrs and my wife told me to buy my “end game” solution. She is tired of small upgrade to the next upgrade. I will be good for awhile.....or at least until July.
