What came in the mail for you today?

[pshankstar]

Not delivered via mail, but a personal drop off. My neighbor dropped off this bottle of liquor from China while she was there for a month. I’m very interested in cracking it open to try it!!

Baijiu?

I’m not sure to be honest. I was so caught off guard by the nice gesture and saw the tag (thinking it would say in an English translation) that I didn’t even think to ask what it is called. There isn’t a single word in English on the tag or anywhere on it the bottle.

I’ll have to look up at what Baijiu is. I’ve never heard of that too. She did say they sip on it while eating peanuts or something similar. Thanks for throwing that out there.

 

[MaryB]

Pound of Perle and a pound of Hallertau, my most used hops.

A couple days late but a new stainless fermenter. Can't wait to use it.

I can’t read Chinese. But....experience says....

It’s probably Baijiu. It probably doesn’t smell or taste very good. It will probably give you a headache. It will also probably make you do some things that you’ll question in the morning. Both because you’ll wonder if they really happened and also because you’ll be amazed that they did happen and that you were involved.

Probably... [emoji15]

Do you see anything like 白酒 on the label?

 

[pshankstar]

I’ll check in the morning and report back. I don’t know how I missed this response.

 

[pshankstar]

I snapped these quickly this morning. I’ll have to look into it some more to see if I can locate those characters you mentioned, but I thought I would share them in case anyone is familiar with the language.

Thanks for your help!

Date of Manufacture: See the bottle
Premium musk liquor (maybe white wine)
Implementation of the Standard: GB/T 16289 (Chi flavor chinese spirits)

Got my custom bottle caps for my next couple of brews !

 

[brewbama]

8 oz of BS Remover. This stuff works like a charm.

I need that to read the news lately. Oh wait....

Not here yet, but arriving tonight a digital pH meter. Once I get it will probably run around the house testing the pH of anything I can find. Had good reviews on Amazon and no store around here carries them.

 

[nobadays]

11 pounds of 2 row to go with on-hand grains for an IPA plus..... my first Tilt Hydrometer. Will be brewing soon!

 

[Sparkncode]

25Kg sack of gladfields german pilsner malt bring my total stock of base malts up to about 60Kg...
Me thinks this home brewing is getting out of hand LOL. Should last me a while though.

Annnd I just realised I can't brew this weekend as the fermentation chamber is tied up with my nelson sauvin smash till the end of next week.

Enough ingrediants for my first belgium tripel brew ready now so as soon as the chamber is available I can brew

Pretty much the best of their best, errrrr at least according to my pallette.

 

[SEndorf]

20 lbs. of Bestmalz Red X
Gonna chase that red!

 

[501irishred]

Scored a 100gal propane tank (full) but had old style valve. Amazon to the rescue!

Great! 100 G of propane should be good for eleventy-seven hundred brew days....
But can you get a dealer to fill this old valve?

For a $25 “upgrade” fee plus fuel, I can get an exchange tank with (presumably) a fresh inspection date. That is to say, per a phone conversation with Airgas. Hopefully it’s legit, but for the mean time I’ve got 100gal of propane for less than $20! [emoji12][emoji482]

Gallons, or pounds? 100 gallons would be pushing 500 pounds with the tank ...

Try downloading Google Translate on your phone and using the image translation aspect of the app. It might be able to pull the text and translate if you do that...I've had mixed success.

 

[501irishred]

The answer to that is.... no idea. I was told gallons, and i know it was a handful getting out of the truck, but I would have guessed less than 500#. I’ll check it tonight to see if there are any makings to say, or maybe take measurements and ask google.

 

[jaybo]

New fermenting buckets, tubing, extract kit, and some PBW.

 

[baldm79]

You get into any of these yet? Curious what your take is on the hefty 10%er.
