Acquiring beers in NY is getting harder, but I managed to get some variety in there.

 

[Dave Sarber]

Not exactly in the mail. Went down to the local animal shelter and adopted a brewbuddy. He is a 4 year old Catahoula leopard dog. Never heard of that breed before, but he seems very cool!

Read through my recipe record book and ordered enough ingredients for about 6 batches and extra hops to vacuum seal and freeze.

Oops... just realized this should have been in the “What I did for beer today” forum... fat fingers on my phone while selecting categories. Oh well.

Got a Culligan RVF-10 water filter today. Bye-bye nasty-tasting Mississippi River water, hello clean tasting Mississippi River water!

Also got one of those stainless hop filters that hangs on the inside of the kettle. No more worries about microplastics getting in my beer from using a paint strainer bag for every boil!

 

[WesBrew]

I got this sweet plastic spigot while the site was down. $6.

 

[camonick]

Side trade action from @Section1 . Thank you sir.

Sweet birthday box from @jerbrew

Well it came a week ago, but finally got my 10g Anvil Foundry. Was really fun to brew on it, even though it looks like I’m going to need to adjust my numbers on some things.

They are dropping that this week actually. I might try and pick some up

oh man, that looks like our old order tracking/inventory program on that monitor

 

[bailey mountain brewer]

haha, yeah i work for a parts store and we have a great look up program but our pos (point of sale) screen is literally a pos.

 

[Immocles]

I would bet its what we used up until maybe a year ago. It was ancient. I think the factory had implemented it in the late 80s/early 90s. It was known by MacPac, but I have no idea if that was the actual name or just a name that was adopted here. I remember being 19 (~2003) and being plopped down in front of an old Apple Mac computer with that on the green monitor thinking, wtf did I get myself into?!?

But in all honesty, that thing rocked until it started crashing monthly. Our various different owners over the years were always appalled by it, but amazed at how well we operated with it on life support.

Also, bonus points for Jameson on the job

 

[bailey mountain brewer]

haha, well the ups guy dropped off my booze order since the pa liquor stores are still not fully operating so i had it delivered to work because it has to be signed for. very tempting sitting on my desk, may become a normal thing. haha. as for the program i know we run on IBM and we have used the same system for as long as i can remember and my tower is a beast and the pos program never goes down and it is lightning fast. compared to our application screen which is web based through AWS, sometimes the wheels just turn and turn and turn. downfall to the pos is only that it has limited capabilities.

Ooh, nice! That pasta attachment is sweet -- but spendy enough that it inspired me to seriously develop my hand rolling and cutting skills, which I'm glad to have done. But some day...

 

[jcav]

Just got a pound of Sabro hops, grain, and yeast to brew a Electric Creamsicle New England Pale Ale!

Yeah, spendy is right, got it for a pretty good sale price and free shipping. I had been looking at it and shopping for a while, finally decided the price wasn’t going any lower, and I didn’t want to hunt for a used set.
Now I have a reason to buy a giant sack of flour at Costco.

 

[deuc224]

Hoppy2, you will enjoy it a lot, Im probably gonna get ravioli maker next and ithink thats it for attachments i can get.

 

[Dave Sarber]

Waiting for LHBS to open, gotta do a hops run for the AHA BigBrew 2020.

 

[Jag75]

My wife has been wanting the pasta attachment for the kitchenaid.

@ hoppy2bmerry. I'm sure it works great.

Today I received some "5/16" - 7/8"" hose clamps from Amazon. There's no way there things can go down to 5/16" or anywhere near it. Buyer beware.

If I am reading the description right, 5/16" is saying that the band is 5/16" wide and it has a 5/16" hex head, not what diameter hose it is for.

Click around on the others in that line. Every size clamp in that line has a band width of 5/16". And they all specify an upper and lower limit. It's coincidental that the lower limit on this one happens to be the same as the band width.
