Right up there with “exquisite pain”.

Here we have a pack of chili-lime roasted crickets and sunflower seed mix.
Yes Virginia, them's real crickets in that thar package.

Brew Easy system arrived. Not the most exciting picture, but exciting delivery. Just in time two I think I have three kegs not far from kicking and I really didn't wanted my last garage brew to be my last. Welcome to indoors.
Just need to get it together and still need to install a 220 outlet.
Also my steam condensing lid is backordered....if that doesn't come in time brewing once with a door open shouldn't be that bad, Right??? (waiting will be hard if not)

I'd see how things go with a short boil during your test and clean of the rig. A lot of condensation can occur, as an indoor brewer when I didn't have the condenser even with door open and window for a through draught I remember the condensation on walls,windows and ceiling.

10 lbs of glorious Warminster MO. I haven't tasted the malt in years, and now I remember why I loved it so much. Buying a bag soon. Doing a strong bitter with First Gold tomorrow.
Awesome. Telefunken u47 for aroma?
Well I haven’t got the 220 installed either and Spike did say they should be in stock soon. Worst case their might be one brew without. I’m off work between Christmas and New Years and going to be tough to resist doing one batch in that time
A new, faster micro SD memory card for the impulse buy dash cam I don't really need, but decided to keep.
The first card, a Samsung Pro Endurance only worked up to 1440 resolution. If i tried to use the 4k resolution the recorded video would intermittently freeze and be unusably pixellated.
The new card, Samsung Pro Plus, works fine at full 4k resolution.
Recording a 4k stream probably doesn't seem too taxing at face value, but bear in mind it's a three-stream dash cam. So, simultaneously recording a 4k front view, 1080 interior view, and 1080 rear view, along with GPS speed and position info, etc., etc.

My package somehow got from Wisconsin to Los Angeles in the same business day.
Over the next four days it has traveled less than 20 miles, although it moves every day. I think it is walking here.

Same thing happened to me last week. It took It sat for 5 days before making it to me. I could have driven there in 20min.
Got my order from Ritebrew the other day. Some PBW (refill in a bag), brown malt, Whirlfloc tablets, a new wine thief, and some W-34/70. I ordered 5 packets of the yeast, but only 4 were in the box. They didn't tape the bottom very well and one packet apparently escaped in transit. Ritebrew has a habit of just throwing everything in the box, willy-nilly.
I sent an email alerting them; they said they'll send another packet.
Ritebrew has generally been good in the past, but I might switch to Brew Hardware, as their prices are good.

Not to be a whiner here, guys, but I’m still waiting for the rest of my yeast to ship from Howdy Brewer… order placed mid November.
a Sabco ChillWizard system
Found this in the mailbox today. Had to miss the holiday dinner due to weather. It will look nifty on my trash can party “kegerator”.
Got a box on Boxing Day:
A box of closeout hops that is.

Not today but Saturday. Xmas gift from my wife’s sister and BIL.
Bouncer Pro, which is HUGE compared to the Mac Daddy, which is large compared to the regular Bouncer Inline Filter. Can't wait to test it out on my latest Neipa! Also got a uKeg 64oz growler. Works with mini 8g CO2 cartridges to keep beer carbed and cold on the go. Used it once so far, and I think I need to turn the carb down a touch. Tons of foam...but cold beer!
Buncha goodies from Ritebrew.com
Nothing, not even a bill.
A few goodies from Brew Hardware, including some Lalbrew Koln yeast with an expiration date of Oct 2023. 
You know it’s still good, but it should have been at a discount and with your knowledge.A few goodies from Brew Hardware, including some Lalbrew Koln yeast with a use-by date of Oct 2023.
The W-34/70 that was also in the order has an exp date of 05/2025, so not all their yeasts are expired. But yes, they should've been transparent on this.
I've been striking out with online vendors lately. Last month Ritebrew sent me stuff in a box with a hole in the bottom and an item missing. Now this.
Time to switch back to Morebeer and Williams. I'll pay a little more, but less chance of headaches.

A Nukatap mini kit with flow control QD. Might get a chance to try it out this weekend if the ice storm doesn't materialize.
One half of my two pound 2023 Citra T90 pellet order to YVH arrived today - which inspired an immediately issued missive back to their mothership fingering the packing perpetrator. I like the sticker though! The latest in their...I honestly don't know what...series of primordial goo residents
Cheers!
Cheers!
Received my Apera PH60 meter and extra cal solutions from Amazon. I had the meter in my wish list and it was >$100 for quite a while. Then it dropped to $79 and I pulled the trigger.
Now to spend some time playing with it. First meter so I have some learning to do. And it will be ready for the next brew day later this week.

Some goodies from Brew Hardware. An 11" BIAB false bottom for my 8 gal kettle, a Cold Crash Guardian, and a pound of Special B.
Just tested the CC Guardian for airtightness with some CO2, purged a couple times and refilled. Got it connected to the FV now and I'm dropping the temp toward lagering.
