What came in the mail for you today?

[Boleslaus]

Two 8gal Fermtanks with upgraded TC lids from Delta. And the dry hopper. After 15 years of fermenting in a standard bucket and occasionally a carboy or better bottle, I'm super excited for this upgrade.

 

[BongoYodeler]

Some hops for upcoming brews.

Some hops for upcoming brews.

Sane here, albeit only for one brew. Post holiday I'll be returning to my DIPA mission with an amped up version of the DEYA Brewing "Dust My Broom" recipe they recently via Malt Miller. DEYA are my local craft brewery and the reason I started home brewing so similar to the "treehouse style" I'm very excited to mirror their process.

2:2:1 Simcoe, Mosaic and Luminosa (wanted Strata but no stock, boo) with 50% of the first two being Cryo. So ~700g equivalent all said and done, in a 23L batch.

I think this batch of Simcoe might be the highest AA% pellet hop I've ever seen.

Gotta love a huge box coming in from brew hardware - in this case, a modded Brewzilla Gen 4 100 L beast. Around here, she's known as Fat Boy...it joins her little Brewzilla brother (35L w/extension) - Little Boy Brew. Currently getting a CIP cleaning with PBW, rinse and starsan.

Then ... Software update, register, and testing...To determine boil off amount per hour, and other details.

@Bobby_M made an update to the Brewzilla, putting in a whirlpool port at the lower portion of the kettle. Already tested... Whoa. It makes a cyclone !!!

Sweet. Thanks for the great packaging. UPS tried to mess it up (big tear in the side, but it was well packed and not an issue).

Now... 15 gallon batches (or more) of Stout, English Brown and Czech pilsner will be a breeze. Wooooooo!

Dang - that is BIG.

OOpps, just walked out to a mailbox fulla hops rhizomes and such from BuyHopsRhizomes.com. I ordered these in December and forgot all about them.

I have 1 bag of B grade mixed unidentified rhizomes (I'm guessing about 20 in there)
1 grower kits(comes with 5 cascade roots,5 paper twine, and 5 clips)
4 Centennial rhizomes plus an additional jumbo centennial
1 jumbo Nugget rhizome


I have not had any luck growing hops here in gulf coast TX because we are south of the preferred range, so this is my last attempt. I concentrated on the "C" (Centennial, Cascade) varieties of hops and Nugget because I was told they do a little better in this climate.

Have you tried any of the neomexicanus varieties? I live near the border with Oklahoma and have some Cascade I basically ignore and get a small harvest off of it.

Got a delivery of a power cable extension, so I can more comfortably plug in my brewzilla in the kitchen, as the cable it comes with is very short. I have extensions but they are all old and I'm not sure of their wattage rating and the brewzilla draws a lot so decided to play it safe and buy a new one I know can deal with 3KW

 

[Zadkiel]

Got delivery today of my malts for my first ever grain brew. Decided on a whim to weigh the bags and found my 500g of Crystal T50, with 500g on the label, was actually 1Kg. Just as well I checked, would have pretty significantly changed the beer and I'd not have known why it was off. Or maybe it would have been great and then I'd forever be disappointed every time I tried to re-make it. Heh.

Congratulations!

Brew on

 

[DaveDiamond]

A new 15 litre Fermenter and some yeast and nutrient. A lot more on the way, hopefully I'll be getting another package tomorrow, although Monday is more likely, which is why I grabbed a pack of yeast from this supplier. Cider on the way. I messed around a bit with the 11 litre I got going last weekend, gonna try my best to stick to the recipe this time!

 

[leedspointbrew]

My first shipment from Brewhardware. Ordered yesterday morning - going over the invoice now to verify everything is in order; looks like it is. Big thanks to Bobby_M and his crew. Looks like I'll be able to post on Who's Brewing This Weekend.

 

[shoengine]

To be fair, it didn't come in the mail today, more like a week ago, but it took me until today to install due to my complicated wiring in the bar, but I think it adds some ambiance.

My wife hates it!

 

[seatazzz]

Me too!

Me also! Got mine at the LHBS, on my second pair because one of the first pair got a little too close to the burner once. Ooops. Love those things. Wear some cotton gloves under them and you can handle really hot stuff.

 

[seatazzz]

Restocking the usual suspects at good prices. New sticker too, of course.

That looks excellent! Still, if your wife hates it I guess you probably should look into getting a more agreeable one. (Wife that is, the barrel's a Keeper!)

 

[Snuffy]

7 lb Vienna, 3 lb Pils, Perle, Tettnang. Wonder what I'm brewing soon...

I can see it's TC but what kind if valve is that and what is it for?

 

[Beekeeper]

2 inch TC Diaphragm valve, for liquid, bottom of my conical.

Xmas in July. Received my order from Brewhardware today! I was not happy UPS just left it on the front walkway, didn’t ring the doorbell. At least nobody ran off with it. I’ve got some unpacking to do

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Little did I know that a win at NHC would include a prize other than the “metal”. I put the gift certificate toward this.

 

[TexasTea]

Have you tried any of the neomexicanus varieties? I live near the border with Oklahoma and have some Cascade I basically ignore and get a small harvest off of it.

Yes, I bought 1 plant of neo mexicanus last year and it never made it. Only 1 of the cascades I bought last year made it. See photo. I have yet to plant the ones I bought this year. Will get that done this week and let them grow through the rest of the summer and fall. If they don't take I'm done trying to grow hops. I'll harvest the little hops off the one plant and wet hop it in the next batch.

 

[Rish]

2 x 10# bags of short grain sweet rice. I really liked the results of this rice in my last Chinese rice wine. No place I've found to buy near me since I moved so decided to stock up online. Tempted to try one big a$$ batch but will probably stick with 5# at a time.

 

[Deadalus]

Some Yakima Valley goods. The NZ hops were on sale!

 

[Willy]

Over the weekend I got this Stainless steel bad boy - a 10 gallon torpedo megamouth with a 1 1/2" triclamp on the lid (hop bong, prv, CIP cleaning etc. thanks @Bobby_M at BrewHardware.com). Going to use it soon to brew a German Pilsner in the ferm chamber. It's tight, but it fits fine. It can also be just as a monster sized corny keg as it also fits inside the keezer. Gonna get used a lot.

 

[elproducto]

Not mail, but reupped my base malts.
