What came in the mail for you today?

[Soulshine2]

Received another pack of S-bend airlocks- Does anyone else snap these on a regular basis? I have so-much trouble getting them out of carboy bungs.... (and before anyone suggests th 3 piece airlocks, I loose pieces of those down the drain all the time

Ive used nothing but the 3 piece airlocks. They're almost indestructible. , how do you lose parts down the drain?

We have a garbage disposal and I guess it ends up washing down there? Or I put them somewhere to dry and the get knocked under something or tidied away to places unknown?
I'm guessing on those two.....
Although now that I'm a little more familiar with the process, have a system and am less likely to do daft things- perhaps the 3 piece airlocks are worth trying again!

Wow' that was nice of them to send you the goodies, many just send the medals/ribbons and score sheets.

My first bulk hop order came yesterday:
8oz whole cone for mosaic, 007, & willamette; 8oz pellet for east kent golding & citra. All 2017 harvest.
This is the first of 2 orders I made recently, and the average per oz cost across both orders INCLUDING shipping was just $1.18 - I should have started doing this sooner!

my brew day doesnt end until Ive cleaned up my equipment and its all back in the brewing storage container. Nothing gets mixed with normal house dishes. My OCD of tools carries over to brewing.

 

[small_b_brewing]

Soulshine2- Probably a better habit than mine! I clean everything before sitting down/being done, but my downfall is drying, and wanting to let everything air dry before being put away. I'm starting to get better, in that I have a bin for drying brewing stuff.

Got this Crazy Porch Bomb from @pshankstar today!! Thanks for the generous shipment! Your 2nd box should drop tomorrow.

 

[pshankstar]

I’m glad it all made it safely @Scturo! Enjoy!

 

[Clef051]

i received muslin bags today for dry hopping.

I use both 2 and 3 piece airlocks, I prefer to use 2 piece for long term aging beers since the don't dry out on me as fast. I started brewing with 3 piece so i still use them for all my short term beers.

 

[jimyson]

This package mysteriously showed up from @pshankstar that smells of coffee and sounds like liquid. I’m not sure that I should open it.

 

[jimyson]

Come on. Of course I need to tear into this immediately. Standup guy right here. He even wrote me a love letter.

I’ll be tearing into the beer tonight and coffee tomorrow! You da man @pshankstar.

It’s greatly appreciated.

Oh...EFF Doug.

 

[pshankstar]

I wouldn’t call it a love letter unless condolences is another way to show love. Haha

Enjoy bud!

When you’re stuck on a conference call and you know a special delivery is at your doorstep!!

Thanks @Scruto!!!

 

[Scturo]

Let me know if everything made it safe,[emoji33]

They are all in the fridge chilling!! Thanks again for the trade!! I look forward to trying them this weekend.

 

[BrewMan13]

Second hop order arrived yesterday: a pound of northern brewer whole hops, and a pound of amarillo pellets. Guess I'm set for awhile (ish).

Not really in the mail but my daughter brought me a supply of these when she returned from a business trip to Northern California.

 

[FoxPaw]

Ok didn't come in the mail, craigslist find, one of the chillers not boxed doesn't work but told it is fixable. Still a killer deal. The one in the box is new. Hopefully I can get to them soon and see which one isn't working.

Got my seeds for my spring garden!! Park Seed Co. gave the best prices and had all I wanted to grow. I am on a pepper kick currently so half of the packs were genus Capsicum!

You south of the equator?

[TwistedGray]

May need to invest in more shelving.

 

[user 254557]

I got a hop spider, no more tearing muslin bags

No sir, but that can't keep me from dreaming for 6 months!

 

[Tribe Fan]

8lb box of UK, GR and US hops from Hops Direct. That's some heavy cardboard. I ordered 4.

Did you get in on the RB subscription thing? Looks like a good lineup!

Just picked a peck today. Canning salsa tomorrow.

Yeah, I'm in the six bottle group...at least until the bank account runs dry.

EDIT: This way I can actually drink one of these without feeling bad.

 

[afro_lou]

Get in on the Ambassador club this year! It’s only $200, and you get 8 bottles, plus all the discounts.

But yeah, still a quick and easy way to drain the bank...

Obviously not a procrastinator.
