What came in the mail for you today?

[Pennine]

My pin cask arrived from England.
A step closer to cask.
@Pennine it looks good.View attachment 876286

I am very curious to see the set up once you get it done, I guess I didn't ask will you serve with and engine or tap?

 

[DuncB]

Will be using an engine.

And today's mail brough more comp goodies. Silver for Leichtbier from Brew Battle in TX and a bronze from same for the Best Beer name category, for the same beer, which was "This beer had a name, but DOGE cut it". The Sugar Skulls are sweet! And two bronze from Spirit of Free Beer in MD for my doppelbock and American blonde.

Were those Reggie Comps with the Sugar Skulls? If so, I am entering next year!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Time to geek out.

 

[shoengine]

That's a fun one!

Alamo City Brew Battle in San Antonio, they use BCOEM not Reggie. at least this year. Yeah the skulls are sweet, was pumped to actually get a couple. Now I need a gold one next year!

 

[AZ Maverick]

This.
I didn't really need it, don't know when I'll use it, but I have one now for when I need it...

 

[DuncB]

That's a fun one!

Better than " Water "

Which is a bit dry!

An order from Amazon: A 3-pack of 50ml plastic graduated cylinders, a couple gas posts to mount on my Brew Bucket lids, gas post disconnects, and some 60ml disposable syringes for squirting finings into the FVs.

The huskless grain showed up, although I see husks, but maybe fewer?

 

[day_trippr]

Redefining "huskless" I'd say

The husks were removed from the grains, but then shipped in the same bag with them.

"Did we say 'huskless'? Our bad. We meant 'less husks,' 5% less than in our regular malt!"

To be fair, the supplier description says: "Crafted by removing the majority of husk, fine grit, and flour from milled Synergy Select Pilsen Malt" (emphasis added.)

This product is created by using two screens: a coarse screen to catch the big pieces of husk, and a medium screen to let thru the fines and flour. What's in the bag is what went thru the coarse screen, but stayed on the finer screen.

It definitely seems like the fines are not included. I am surprised to see how big some of the husks that made it through the coarse screen. I am still optimistic it's going to be a nice bread and cracker pilsner malt.

Mascot for my new malt brand.

I did a thing. Uni 2.0. Definitely a need and not a want

Hmm, what does he taste like?

 

[lumpher]

I was supposed to get a brand new corney keg delivered today by UPS, but it's stuck at my local hub due to "foul weather"...note LOCAL hub... not a cloud in the sky.

 

[Brewsmith]

Another musical bit came today

 

[DuncB]

AHH, I see it's a guitar themed mash paddle.
Practical and noteworthy.

Came with a pre-cut nut, but no frets? Or, did you just miss getting the first fret in the pic? Fret spacing has to be one of the toughest things to get right on a neck.

It's all about the detail, in my case it's the fingering on the neck that is the hardest thing.

Just the angle of the pic. It’s got 22 frets. I was trying to show off the flame!

Not brewing related, but just received this cute little cordless chainsaw. Two batteries, charger, extra bar and chain, oil bottle, tiny pair of gloves, safety glasses, in a nifty carrying case.

Have some tree-trimming to do.

Living inside a Klein bottle I expect the trees are quite small, be careful with that gadget, looks too easy.

Many an hour wasted putting fingers back on!

It's great for bonsai trees.

A brand new 5g keg, a carb stone with hose, a floating diptube, and a replacement lid for a.damaged 1 for another keg. It was a good day.

A few goodies from Brew Hardware.
