What came in the mail for you today?

[GoeHaarden]

Get your stuff together, Tennessee, this is a humiliating abrogation of your responsibility.

Haha. Well, I did read that we are one of the leading states of gov. corruption so you can't expect much. Did you get a chance to take 840? You can almost get some air on a few overpasses...

Glad the Apera made it. Calibration was stupid easy - I love the laminate instruction card with pictures.

I'm sold. This will be my upgrade. Whenever I get around to upgrading.

While I haven't used it for a brew yet, I am impressed with the build quality/feel of it. Calibration is super easy and repeat checks were spot on. Mine was manufactured 4/2024 so they're shipping newly made units.

Four 11.5 gram packs of SafAle BE-134 yeast arrived today. Was thinking of using that in a block party amber ale kit since my temp control is 78 F (Texas Summer with a dab of AC).

 

[TexasTea]

Ph meter (cheap pocket type), some pH standards, Bottle caps (144 of the red ones), 32 oz starsan cleaner, 1 lb of PBW cleaner arrived today.

A very generous porch bomb care package from @Section1 .
Thank you so much. Can’t wait to try everything.

2 inkbird temp controllers 308C and two #5 stoppers with holes arrived today. 'It's still early though. The UPS people are very happy with my recent interest in brewing since 5 gallon batch brew stuff weigh much less than the crates of ammo I usually get delivered.

 

[JAReeves]

Gunpowder doesn't quench the thirst as nicely either.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Malt in ziplock bags (brilliant!) and small oxebar “kegs” and tap head.

I agree, it's so nice I have some Viking Malt in those same glorious bags!

 

[TexasTea]

Mail came with 5 hops paper twine 25 foot lengths , 5 clips for twine and 1 air pump for aeration.

 

[rallenhall]

Box of camlock fittings from Bobby at brewhardware.com.

 

[OakIslandBrewery]

The SpaceX fans will appreciate this . . .

Bench top bottle capper arrived yesterday evening. I got that thing because some people were remarking the little handheld cappers in the kits don't work well on thinner bottles and ones with threads. I have both types now so I will experiment a little bit.

 

[TexasTea]

2 Homebrewtalk.com stickers arrived in the mailbox today. Thanks Guys.

 

[hout17]

Received a bottling bucket with spigot, lid, and airlock from Northern Brewer and also received 5 packets of Lalbrew London yeast (grabbed a few since they quit making it), 1 packet of US-05 yeast, refractometer, and 5lbs of pilsner malt from MoreBeer.

I've been wanting to get a refractometer for a long time and finally did. I love Northern Brewer buckets as bottling buckets for some reason. I am retiring my old northern Brewer bucket that I've had for 10+ years lol.

 

[Rish]

Actually just picked it up since I had stuff to do near the Oriental market about 40 minutes from my house. Turns out they had everything I need to make Chinese rice wine! I have my own water.

 

[whoaru99]

Roasted coffee since I not roasted any myself lately, despite having green beans on hand.

 

[TexasTea]

2 books from thrift books arrived today....."Growing Your Own Hops, Malts and Brewing Herbs" by John Peragine which focuses on Early American and English style Ales and "Homebrewing for Dummies" by Marty Nachel.

 

[user 246304]

A replacement swan faucet tap for my Mason beer engine. I will say unequivocally to anyone interested in a beer engine - these people have been beyond stellar from my purchase through today. I had a small issue - leaking from the swan neck intake, and I finally isolated that it was a small plastic sleeve that fit around the faucet intake, inserted in the short 1/2" beer line that connects to the cylinder. Cariss at Mason, always diligent and quick in reply, sent out a replacement swan neck to me- via next day Fedex from England. My unqualified highest recommendation for the company.

 

[hilljack13]

Two 4L oxebar with pressure kits

 

[TexasTea]

4 stainless steel air stones with 1/4 inch diameter barb fittings arrived today for sparging/aeration. I figured they would be a bit easier than the stone ones to sanitize .

 

[fourfarthing]

Some minor ego

 

[Deadalus]

Father's Day present of a four hole stopper and an Anvil carboy cooler finally arrived.

That's one hell of a stopper!

Been wanting to play around more with Belgians

Two Oxebar 8 liter kegs
Two Tapping Head kits
One 0-15psi mini gauge

Going to try fermenting occasional small batches in 5 gallon corny kegs and serving from the Oxebar kegs.

 

[lumpher]

[TexasTea]

1 refractometer arrived today. I had one for beekeeping to ascertain water in honey but it wasn't the correct scale for brewing.
