What came in the mail for you today?

Where from?

nikobrew, they had free shipping a while back

 

[troypolla]

corny the rebuild kit. Yeah. No leaks.

Had two homebrews in a row turn out pretty astringent. Got a Milwaukee 102 coming in tomorrow to start monitoring of PH.

 

[Kent88]

6 pounds of milled munich malt, a dozen beglain cork-finish bottles, fermcap, an alcohol lamp, calcium chloride, and epsom salt. I think I'm going to try and tinker with my water. I usually dilute my filtered tap with some bottled water and use gypsum to make it a little acidic.

I think I can get a water report for the area, but I am completely new to messing with specific minerals and trying to hit a certain pH. If anyone has a very approachable beginners guide to messing with water, I'd like to see it. It has been a few years since I took Chemistry (for non-PreProfessionals) in college.

First order from morebeer now that NB has been designated my backup online brew supplier.

I think the "knowledge" sheet on the bru'n water spreadsheet is pretty good: https://sites.google.com/site/brunwater/water-knowledge

Egg shaped stir bars to replace the one with the rib in the middle.

Much quieter.

That's always such an exciting delivery! If you are like me, you will be pouring beer from it in 24 hours.

Did you not stain or seal your collar? Each coat takes 2-3 days to dry, I spent 10 days just in that part, not to mention gathering parts, assembling the collar, letting the glue set, building air recirculation, etc. All said and done mine took almost 3 weeks and that was me rushing it!

I got my $49 wort chiller and & $29 recipe kit from Amazon yesterday. Funny thing is that I initially bought all the items to make the chiller from Home Depot only to come home and add up the cost and realize it was more expensive than this one on amazon (from Home Brew Stuff). So I returned the parts and bought the completed chiller.View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1478309284.711974.jpgView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1478309297.259904.jpg

Right on man, I always like seeing the different ways people go about their build. I spent way too much time and money on mine, but I'm happy with it.

It did not come in the mail today but it is on the way, 20 gallon SS Brewtech Kettle! So excited. I have been working a lot of OT and decided to give myself a little treat.

A thicker o-ring for a keg lid, a new PRV for a keg lid & 3# of Briess Golden Light DME for starters. First time purchase from Williams Brewing and was very happy!

Thanks for the tip, got one today. Now my kids will be able to sleep while my yeast is waking up.

[Onkel_Udo]

24" French whip...not nearly as kinky as it sounds...sadly.

 

[MaryB]

12 pounds of Breiss Victory, 2 more fermenting buckets with spigots and lids and airlocks... now I can get 2 ten gallon batches going at the same time!

I took advantage of the amazon sale for the bayou classic 44qt ss kettle

44 qt ss kettle

I picked up a ss wort chiller at the same time SS Wort Chiller

Both showed up in the mail the other day. I can't wait to try a full boil extract kit. I have a wilserbrewer biab bag on my wish list for the holidays to try some all grain stove top biab brewing.
