What came in the mail for you today?

[Broothru]

Yeah I ordered these on Sat and they are here today. Certainly no complaints. I thought the sleeves were a good idea, they do look good. Have to see if they get wet or stained from taking liquid posts off and it remains to be seen how they would hold up in the wash. Probably not necessary to have them on all the time. Maybe for taking them out to an event. I wonder if their other sizes will fit regular kegs. I’d like to have these for some of my other 3 and 5 gallon kegs.

I’m also getting into smaller batches. I have been brewing 3 gallon batches for the longest time. Now I’m thinking I could ferment small batches in another keg, 3 or 5 gallon, then do closed transfers to these for serving or even to fill bottles with a counter pressure filler. It would be like brewing about a 12 pack. I think 1.5 gallons would be (16) 12 oz servings if its filled all the way.

The website shows the 5 gal sleeve able to fit on a Sanke sixtel, which is the size of my two 6.2 gal kegmenters. The sleeve for the mid-sized Torpedo will also fit my 4 short Cornelius kegs. Last year when my son-in-law bought a Sanke kegerator for his outdoor pool area, I bought a couple of the Torpedo cocktail kegs that have Cornelius posts as well as a Sanke spear as a 'kegwarming' gift. The 1.6 gal one was for him to use in cleaning his taps and lines, and the 2.6 gal one was for me to transport homebrew from my basement to his kegerator. Unfortunately, he keeps 'forgetting' how to clean, so that chore gets left to me when we pay visits to Florida. Equally unfortunate, I keep forgetting to load up the empty 2.6 Sanke/Cornie to take home so I can bring more homebrew. Fortunately, St. Pete has a ton of really great pubs and breweries where I can get a growler fill of fresh beer, though not particularly at HB pricing.

It looks like the sleeves for their slimline torpedo kegs fit regular old corny kegs.

They also show sleeves for the Regular kegs and 10 gal kegs as well:

Arrrgh! Cut and paste isn’t working on my iPhone. Search the MB website for Regular Torpedo keg sleeves.

About a week ago, I got a 3 pack of foam bottle washer brushes. I mostly use pilsner style glasses and simple pint glasses. These brushes have been an excellent addition, since I am able to really scrub in the bottom of the glasses and make them sparkly clean. No more of the extra bubbles stuck on the side of a glass that still had a layer of "film" (soap or suds?).

Really glad to see the results of this simple addition to home brewing.

Thank you for this. I have large hands and tend to not use many of the glasses I have because it's so hard for me to clean them. Not sure why I never searched for foam brushes like this.

Hey, me too. Why didn't I do this before?

 

[MaxStout]

A small order from Brew Hardware. 18 lbs Maris, 4 lbs Barke Munich I, a pound of Victory, and a couple pounds of rye malt. Also a pack of Windsor--never used that strain before and want to try it in my next Brit ale.

Amazon delivered my Kegco KM7GM-2R Grain Mill with metal base. Had been looking for at mills for a bit but when this popped up at $65 prime delivered I decided to grab it. Don’t know why the deal because an hour later it was $128 prime delivered. Now it seems to be $107, but $21 shipping.
Looks brand new and not previously opened so I guess just some AI decision thought it had been around too long. Lol

14 lbs. of grains just arrived a few minutes ago. Order placed yesterday morning with SoCal Brewing Supplies, first time I’ve ordered from them. They were delivered exactly 28hrs 45mins after placing the order. Decent prices too. I’ll definitely order from them again.

We appreciate your support as well!

Awesome Travis, I didn't realize you were active on this site. Ironically I placed another order with you for some base grain and a pkg of liquid yeast, for an upcoming brew day. The package arrived this afternoon (less than 48hrs transit), and a yeast starter is already spinning. Thanks for being such a well stocked and responsive business!!

 

[Clint Yeastwood]

New Inkbird plus a new probe for the one that died.

 

[crazyjake19]

Nothing specifically beer-related, but I got a big order of peach, cherry, pear, pawpaw, and persimmons trees. Hopefully in several years they'll all be a part of my fermentation projects.

 

[Skeeter686]

Finally received the Warming Wizard Wand for my BrewBuilt X3

From the packaging:
"For optimal reproduction you need to add some heat" - Saccharomyces Cerevisiae

I'm in Missouri and pawpaws are native here. I absolutely love them!! Be aware, if you eat to many of them, you'll spend more time on the pot than you'd like!!!

 

[MaxStout]

Just got an order from BrewHardware. Enough grain to make a few brews, and some fruit extracts we like to add to lemonade.

 

[bwible]

Ordered these Sunday night, they’re here
today. Going straight into the freezer. We
have a couple club challenge brews coming
up. Some kind of pilsner and some kind of
IPA. I haven’t decided what I’m going to
brew yet but I know my hops will be fresh.

Same here, just got some of these to try. There are SO many new ones, I don't know how anybody keeps up.

I know. I am still putting together my mental taste library of the traditional, go to standards. Like I rediscovered centennial last year. Forgot how good it was. That said, I love the variety. Last year my favorite hop discovery was Magnum. Still haven't tried Azzaca .. soon.

Not much came in the mail.
I was put on a financial diet.

I'm curious... what do you autoclave?

It works great. Brewed with it earlier this month for the first time
Kegerator (no kegs yet). I bought 5 or 6 of those cool tap handles from someone on this site earlier
16 gallon Vevor brew kettle (for future BIAB) - I currently use the Vevor 5 gallon kettle for extract/minimash

Corny Keg fittings
pH/Temp meter
Not pictured- Brew bags
Not pictured/ not brew related- vacuum pump, heated water bath, 5 liter rotary evaporator 0-70C, 0-90RPM with flasks, condensers, etc.

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.

New lid and upgraded grain tube for the mash and boil from williams brewing. Some gaskets, orings, and the extra fat corny keg lid gasket. Got a free tumbler and cup for spending $140.

 

[ClaudiusB]

I'm curious... what do you autoclave?

I use the indicator tape for yeast propagation, syringes, needles, etc. I have had problems with leaking equipment in the past, so the indicator tape is cheap visual insurance for me.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

After dark on Saturday night a delivery of assorted malts had been dropped at the top step.

 

[MaxStout]

A small order from BrewHardware. Some dry yeast, CaCl2, and a pack of whiskey barrel chips I'll use in an upcoming imperial stout.
