Saturday I received A 3 piece ball valve and a pick up tube but they sent the wrong pick up tube!! I was waiting all day for this to arrive before my brew day...arrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhh!

I wanted a side tube for whirlpool but got the bottom tube. Oh well, mistakes happen.
 
An empty package.

I couldn't find a lock nut the right size locally (converting a found gatorade cooler into an HLT), so got one on amazon.

Just got a padded envelope delivered by UPS. Empty.
 
Short answer: My new Grainfather with distilling top!

Longer answer... after spending 25 years building and accumulating, I decided to downsize with this current relocation to Richmond, VA. There wasn't really any room for the 15 gallon electric system and the associated hardware (cleaning station, fermenters, etc.). So I sold it all to my friends in the local homebrew club in Allentown and managed to get enough money from the sale for the Grainfather. :)

So now I have the perfect item to store compactly and then plug in to brew on my screened in porch while overlooking Swift Creek Reservoir. Life is good!

Not today but yesterday...placed an order with Hops Direct last month, was impressed with the prices (their Hop Sales are awesome) so ordered 4lbs. Yesterday the husband texts while I'm at work, that I got a package from them. Rack the brain thinking, "did I drunk order more hops????". Then he texted me the below....I've never used Crystal hops, but they are FREE so hell yes!! Very happy with their customer service!

The last connector I needed to do a closed transfer with my NEIPA (kegerator CO2 to auto siphon): 3/8" barb-1/4" MFL. Was waiting for this, so did the transfer a couple hours after it came. Thankfully everything went smooth.
 
The other day in the mail I got the Malt book, part of the Brewing Elements series.

Hopefully it is a better read than the water book. Survey of Chemistry wasn't enough chem to help me understand that.
 
The PLAATO airlock came in the mail the other day. I hope it was worth backing on Kickstarter. Now I need to find time to brew the American Barleywine I’ve designed in BeerSmith and use it.
 
Ball valve, nipple, and threaded connector for the kettle, a brew bucket for ciders, 2 kits (my last extract brews, hopefully), and compressed air cans for cleaning the mill.

Also a printer and laptop lap fan.

A carbonation cap. From what I read I can hook this up to my small pump (with some tubing & what not) and recirculate cleaner through my draft lines and faucets. This will help save on CO2 moving forward.
