It came from cabelas. My buddy ordered it after Black Friday for $150, then his father in law gave him the same one for Christmas, so he sold me his for $150. It must've been back ordered because it just showed up yesterday. They are going for $177 plus tax on Amazon. I think that's the best price I've seen. They are usually in the $230 range.

I've had some things get to me from China faster than California. Figure that one out. It was an $8 timing relay with free shipping. Craziest thing ever that it could get here in a week.

 

[Curtis2010]

My BlackBox arrived! I'll be giving this away as a gift though.

Just got notification that mine cleared Customs back home in Guatemala. Unfortunately I won't be there for a while, but its something to look forward too...along with all the other brewing goodies I am ordering while I'm gone.

 

[Kampenken]

Oh its been a good day! First I got my aeration stones (2, one for my brother) .5 micron, in addition came the STC 1000 controllers, but, the capper, my Christmas present from my gf. A 7g SS Chonical! YES!!!!

I ordered some batteries for my motorcycle helmet comms (Sena BT) and they came from China. Batteries are handled much differently when they reach customs, because of the fire risk. I am not sure, but I think they are supposed to go by ship only and not plane?

The box I recieved was marked SATA drive, and sure enough the vendor wrapped the batteries in a layer of aluminum foil so an x-ray would make the package appear to contain a SATA HDD. It got here fast, but I wasn't keen on their ruse to get them shipped quicker.

I think they cheat the system sometimes to get things to the recipient faster...

That's a crazy story! Doubt any entity has the teeth to really get anybody over there in trouble over it though. Mine was just a padded envelope. No tricks that I know of. Maybe it was smuggled in with someone else's aluminum foil wrapped batteries.

[HB_in_Subic]

All of the stuff that I need to make Mango wine (Corker, corks, pectic enzyme, yeast nutrient, white tannin, sparkalloid, acid blend and EC 1118 Wine Yeast.

Just now cooling off my must (made with 2.5Kg fresh mangos, sugar, water) before pitching.

 

[JonM]

Me too! And a renewal AHA card!

 

[jmcquesten]

3 more lbs of hops. Got a total of like 5 lbs on hand now and close to 125 lbs of grain. I've never been this stocked up, the next few months should be nice and busy building back up a pipeline. Should be able to put my 6 new kegs, regulator manifold, and freezer to good use soon. The new monster mill will be getting a workout too. Can't wait to see what Christmas brings.

Santa Claus, AKA @gratus fermentatio dropped a UPS Christmas present on my porch this afternoon. I decided I was too impatient to wait til Christmas so I just opened it.
Its what I always wanted. Seriously. Why doesn't everybody just follow this lead from here on out?
Thanks gf

I got my shipment in a few days ago from NB! Brewed my first batch of beer today.

 

[n240sxguy]

I got a 210 gph pond pump that I'm hopefully going to be able to use to control my fermentation temps. My
A/C in my chamber bit the dust when I moved. I'm gonna use the pump to circulate cooled RV antifreeze through a copper coil in the wort.

 

[wbarber69]

Please don't take a chance with antifreeze coming into contact with the wort. Water is just fine and much safer for your needs.

 

[Hello]

Not beer related but I got my amazon fire stick! Excited to get this sucker running

Got mine last month. It's rad.
