Wow
Cereal Killer. Some time to get grain this week and I should be running it through its first brew day this weekend
160 lbs of grain, 16 packets of yeast, and 4 lbs of hops.

A Christmas package from @fourfarthing (errrrrrrrrrr a side trade I mean ... I do, after all, have to send a return package). Doug and Mark didn't catch the soggy beer bottom box, fortunately! A little bit of the grisette was sacrificed during shipping, and I am excited to dig in. For sake of freshness that one will be drunk tonight (or perhaps tomorrow).
I really need to have a beer tasting night and get through some of the cases of homebrew in the garage from everyone as well as the commercial beer I continue to hoard, lol. Anyways...thanks Fourfarthing!
ps: I am most excited to try the wheat and presumably harass you for a recipe.

I am trying to get shiz together, and I have most of it. We'll see if I can get it out this week or not...time is not on my side, lol.

Merry Xmas to me.
This finally arrived after being ordered at 5.12. (yes that is fifth of December not the other way around) Had to give the store a what gives email and turns out the order software had somehow messed up the order. no biggie as this was just a shelf filler anyway.
Two used 3 gallon kegs from Adventures In Homebrewing. They were limited quantities and on sale with an additional 13% discount. I hope to try smaller experimental batches with these.

You can skip grocery shopping today, enjoy!
Something came in the mail but I haven’t the slightest clue what it is. [emoji848][emoji23]

I got some of that too. The cubes are delicious!!!
But what are they? And is the other bag a mother?
TwistedGray

The other bag is Apricot Brandy...had issues with glass so said fudge it, lol! Plus there was a sense of whether or not it would hold, so....there's that
Cubes are a Mexican candy, by the way
I’m not a brandy person so how should I best enjoy it? It’s my first time. [emoji51]
@jimyson any suggestions?
TwistedGray

Straight up...sip it; it's sweet from the apricot so no mixers. You can add ice if you want, but you certainly don't need it.
The fruit itself is boozy!!
Done! I think I’ll enjoy it Monday night. Thanks!
A thank you box from @pshankstar (and more importantly his daughter!). Christmas coffee is planned.
This awesomeness from @TwistedGray that my EastCoastedness needs a key to decode.

Apricot brandy that I made in the bag, I did not make the Brandy...just the infusion.
Those are jicamas in the top left.
You chew on the sugar cane as is, and spit out the fibers.
The sweet lemons or they may call them limes are lemons that are wait for it ... Sweet!
The other floors are guavas, wash them and eat them skin and all. I don't eat the ends but otherwise you can eat everything else.
The cubes are Mexican candies.
The crunchy bits are pork rinds.
and then you have chorizo. If you don't know how to prepare chorizo you could easily Google it, but ensure you just want to remove it from its casing and cook it kind of like a scrambled sausage. I like mine nearly burnt; that's the common cook on it.

Haha I’m glad I wasn’t the only one!
Enjoy the beers and coffee! I wanted my daughter write thanks on the note before bed but I hadn’t roasted the second batch of coffee. That’s why the details for the second batch were filled in by hand. Thank you for the awesome lemur beer!!!
Merry Christmas!
Excited to try all of this.

Enjoy. What did I send for beer? PA and MMS?
Yeah. There was one other but the cap popped, so we ignore him. What is MMS?

Oh poop ... What was that one?
Mocha Milk Stout - I am curious what level of bitterness it's at right now.

We had the Mexican candies tonight and decided they will go perfect on the charcuterie board for Christmas. Thinking we need some vanilla ice cream for the apricot brandy.

Would be a good idea, indeed! It's a bit on the sweet side from the apricot sugars, fyi.

The 3 small sump pumps actually came last Friday, they are for use with the water chiller and water jacket. Going to hook them up and do a water test this week as I am off.

Other was a stout or porter based on the aroma.
