It was the New England Regional Homebrew Comp. I went 7 for 10, my best batting average ever by far. That many placements also snagged me their brewer of the year prize (the bag of grain and some other stuff from Red Hook Brewery). Kudos to the host club, Brew Free or Die, for running an awesome competition and going out of their way to make sure I got all of this stuff.
What came in the mail for you today?

My order from Brewmaster's Warehouse, that was ordered on 11-04. I needed by that weekend so I ordered from them as it is 2 days shipping, when I realized that I wasn't going t get it I ordered from Rebel Brewer and had it the next day. I will be using RB from now on.

two of these for my fermentation chamber http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H0XFD2/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20
With the high humidity where I live (70%+ year round) I have to keep the moisture down or I will end up with mildew in the chamber..

I use one in each of my 7 CF fermentation chest freezers, and two in my 15 CF serving freezer. I have a CPU fan that blows right onto them and it keeps my chambers pretty dry. Recharge every month or so.

Courtesy of Visa Rewards points about to expire, Amazon gift card means Xmas came early, and rounded out books I'd meant to buy but just hadn't for one reason or another. A few more on the way in a different shipment.

Yeah, there's certainly more I want to pick up, but these were the "I really want these" ones. I've got the Classic Styles Series book on Mild and "Cellarmanship" (book on properly prepping and serving cask ale) on the way, and I prerecorded the Malt book.
One day I'll get me a copy of De Clerck's Textbook of Brewing, but it's more than I can afford right now.

I thought it was bull**** when I logged on my Amazon account and said my order had been delivered. It's Sunday. Lo and behold on my porch is a box with my 2L flask, 2 wort pumps and 2 STC-1000 controllers.
I heard the post office is running Sundays right now for packages, I wouldn't be surprised if FedEx & UPS are doing the same after all the people that got pissed off last Christmas season

A couple of days ago actually. Stir Starter stir plate from Adventures in Homebrewing. Love NB but the reviews on their plate and the cost turned me away.

I heard somewhere that FedEx and ups actually contract out with USPS to make deliveries on the weekend. Don't know the validity of the though. I do love the shipment speed though. Ordered some stuff on amazon last Monday night with two day prime shipping and it showed up the next morning. Yeeeee amazon!!

The USPS delivering on Sunday's is a permanent thing. Not just during the Holidays. It's a deal with Amazon.
The USPS has been delivering Fedex and UPS packages for about 5 years. Anything that says Smartpost, Surepost, or Mail Innovations...there's another one, can't remember what it's called right offhand...is either an UPS or Fedex package delivered by the USPS. Last time I heard, the number was 45% of Fedex and UPS yearly package volume is actually delivered by the USPS.

I wish someone would tell the ***** that delivers my mail that. I'm lucky if I get anything on Saturdays let alone Sundays. I don't use smart post because no matter what I get through the mail, if it's in a box I have to go pick it up because she's too lazy to even try to deliver it.

Hahaha. I know the feeling. It's usually someone else covering the weekend shifts, so that part's not completely her fault. I always hate it when I see that a package was shipped with ups and they dropped it off at the post office. Usually comes the next day, but that's still an extra day I have to wait when the ups truck would be on my road anyway. It's only ever came in handy like one time when something got delivered on a Saturday that wouldn't have gotten to me til monday. Only because they gave it to a USPS sort facility besides my own.

4 oz Mandarina Bavaria, 4 oz Hallertau Blanc, and a carboy heater. Testing out the heater now, I'll see how well it works with no controller first. The Mandarina is for a saison in a few weeks (though I only need 2 oz) and no idea for the blanc yet).
