Crappy pic of them, but the start of my hop empire: 2 Casacades, 1 Magnum, 1 Chinook and 1 Willamette rhizome from Rising Sun Farms (www.coloradoorganichops.com). The Chinook especially is a beast (thick as my thumb). All in the fridge right now, but going to get them into buckets before the end of the week. Glen with Rising Sun has been great at answering my questions and I would def. recommend them. Can't wait to start posting pics of bines breaking ground.

A brand new Danby! Fermentation chamber for now, kegerator in the future. Just need to build a little shelf to keep the fermenter over the hump.

Well, a few days ago. A 2 keg picnic tap system that fits in my spare fridge. The regulator came with a smashed pressure gauge and it also didn't work properly. They are replacing with and upgrade. We'll see. The beer is great it is just a pain so far to add some pressure, guessing, and dispense until the pressure abates. Hope they send the replacement expedited shipping.

You may well be right. But they listed as 2 days if I remember right. I've been tempted to contact them & attempt to explain logistics to them...:drunk:
**I contacted them through their site. It'll be interesting to see what they say...!

Might have something to do with where processing facilities are, I'm guessing it was mailed via USPS? To give you an idea I live in Flagstaff, AZ and if I want to send a letter (like a bill) to the City they actually transport the letter 100+miles to Phoenix where USPS has a processing facility because a couple years ago they stopped sorting mail in our own city. So instead of mailing ANYTHING within my own city I just take it physically to where it needs to be, rather than have it brave the 200+ mile round trip. Ridiculous? yes, and folks wonder why USPS is going under slowly, bureaucracy...

:off: <-on myself

Well,NB said they have no control over shipping. It went all over the midwest & to southern Ohio to come back up to me on the North coast. got it a few days ago. So the barley crusher grain mill & homer cheapo bucket are set up & ready.
But midwest is still Processing my order 9 days as of today. I e-mailed them a lil while ago. got the reply,basically,{"don't call us,we'll call you" within 24 hours. That warehouse expansion is taking to damn long. Even if they were backed up 6 days. Geez...no brew day on National Homebrewer's day for me this year. To re-iterate rainman-SONOFABIIIIII***!!!(the echo scene)

I ordered mine 2 weeks ago on Monday. A little irritated at this point.
 
Some grains, LME, DME, yeast, hops, and a scale so I can try my hand at my first ever self created recipe.
::stoked::
 
Some quick disconnect fittings, silicone tubing, and a few more stainless ball valves to upgrade my home brewery.
 
Cacao nibs and vanilla beans. Some of both will end up in my Bender clone, along with some cold steeped coffee.
