Sack of Pilsner
35lbs of various specialty malts
1.5lbs of hops that were on sale that I didn't really need
Some airlocks because I'm constantly losing them
Spunding valve
Floating DipTube
Voss and Us-05 because I forgot I don't actually need to buy yeast for about a year

And as always, a hydrometer because I might break the one I use, and the 4 backups I have all in one brewday.
 
A new refractometer (the old one started going haywire). Looks identical to the last one, they're all probably made at the same Chinese factory. Old one lasted 5 or 6 years, hopefully this one will last longer. But for $19, can't complain too much.

Also replenished some CaCl2 and Whirlfloc. Exciting stuff. :)

I was just commenting on the label - "Munich Classic German Wheat-Style Ale Yeast" is a mouthful :)
Also, I've seen that yeast in a simpler labelled packet...

Cheers!
Oh totally agree ... apparently some one in the marketing department thought ... "let's add more words, it will make it feel more better"
 
Yes, they renamed Munich to Wit.
These are both new branding so if Munich is Wit … what is this package of Munich then?

Not trying to be difficult … just trying understand because I have plans for both of these yeasts in 2 distinctly different beers.

That's not "Munich", that's "Munich Classic", which has always been called that, it's the Lallemand version of the Weihenstephan weizen strain, like Wyeast 3068 etc

Yes it was really confusing them having "Munich" and "Munich Classic", which is why they rebranded the former.

Ahh okay … now my brain has caught up with this. Thanks for the clarification.

I can not continue on with my original plans for these yeasts.

Craft on!
