What came in the mail for you today?

[TexasTea]

MM3-G (Monster Mill 3 Geared ) arrived today and just finished putting it together.

 

[Pennine]

Some pseudo cask ales and lagers are in my future.

 

[shoengine]

The one and only. Now my trippel will be done properly.

Does this count? Had to pick it up myself. Canyon Denali
Now the 500 mile drive back...

 

[HM-2]

Yesterday but:

Stout Spout for my NukaTap. I don't have beer gas or nitrogen, but even without they greate a great effect in English style beers. One of the participants at my homebrew club had one one NukaTap Mini with a dark mild and it poured a beautiful pint, so I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon...

It didn't come in the mail, wrong thread.

You could afford it from all the money you saved by brewing your own beer, so "What I did for Beer today" thread would be appropriate. Bonus if you stopped by a home brew store on the way home, plenty of room for bags of grain.

Congratulations, nice ride!

Stoked to give this a try. I'm doing a split batch APA with Bell's yeast up against WLP001 Cal Ale.

Oh interesting, have a link for it?

Yes

They have an interesting lining system as well for mini kegs.
I found them very responsive via email and phone but long distance courier takes time.

However fish kettle did arrive.

 

[CopperWolf]

Recieved my minerals to balance my water for brewing.

Are you going to use a bag for the cask or set up some type of rebreather? It looks like a great cask option.

 

[Willy]

Big order of base Malts

40 lb pilsner Select
25 lb 2 row
35 lb Baird's Maris Otter
30 lb Golden Promise
10 lb Munich (light)
+ A roasted malt
7 lb breis chocolate

Plus 8 packs each of 34/70, US-05, and Nottingham. And yeast nutrient, whirlfloc tablets. This should cover me for a few months maybe.

I don't think the casks use bags.
I've got a rebreather which I will use.

Currently I'm working on a Burton " union " using a firkin as the barrel.
Getting the SS trays and pipework and connections ordered. Some specifics of the way the system works are a little confusing given the limited information. But I think I've got my head around it. Will update.

Damn are you getting the smart tag with it!?

 

[DuncB]

I don't need the smart tag, I know where cask is ( once it arrives).
Plus I use raspberry pints with flow meters so this tells me how much used and is left in the keg or cask.

From my new friend @Pennine
He saw me complaining about not being able to find any Köstritzer Schwarzbier in Greeley or Ft. Collins. He was super kind enough to send me a couple as well as a couple other beers I’ve never had before. I appreciate the kindness.

You will be rewarded with a box of homebrew as repayment. I’m shipping tomorrow and I hope you’ll have it Thursday or Friday in time for the long weekend.

 

[jdauria]

Few more beer comp awards have arrived, all 3rd place. or as I like to call it 'second loser". From comps in VT, NH and SC.

This arrived today, a big thank you @camonick in return. I am very excited to try these out, they are chilling down now. And thanks for the awesome pint glass where did you get these made?

I got the glasses at https://www.webstaurantstore.com/
They were kinda pricey since you have to order case quantities plus pay for the design setup fee.

 

[Willy]

Finally getting around to fancying up my mini man cave of guitar picking sessions, complete with six + varieties of HB on tap. So... Always been a fan of the old tin signs doing that vintage vibe. Got more coming in later today - should have the wall finished by ... (Edit) It's done for now.

 

[jdauria]

After reading an article on Czech hops that are not Saaz, I could not resist. These came yesterday.

 

[jdauria]

And today's mail brough more comp goodies. Silver for Leichtbier from Brew Battle in TX and a bronze from same for the Best Beer name category, for the same beer, which was "This beer had a name, but DOGE cut it". The Sugar Skulls are sweet! And two bronze from Spirit of Free Beer in MD for my doppelbock and American blonde.

A step closer to cask.
@Pennine it looks good.
