What came in the mail for you today?

Trailer tires! These are important because they transport my beer (and racecar) to the track.

Ha! I need to get a spare trailer tire (don't have one, not a good idea), to transport BBB. My boat, butt & beer to the lake- but not until Spring....

 

[sleepspeaking]

Christmas gifts for all the peoples. First gift giving event in a long time where I don't expect home brew stuff. Got most all my wants.

 

[pshankstar]

My order from NorCal has arrived!! A keg hop filter, fermometer strips (3) and a surprise with an ounce of hops. Never used these hops before. So I guess I'll have to research them and figure out how I'll use them. Thanks @JayBird!!!

Try used tire places...bolt patterns are pretty standard and all you need a functional roller that holds air for when (not if) you loose a tire.

Oh, I've been waiting for this!

So shiny.......

Two packages of yeast from MoreBeer - Wyeast 1469 (West Yorkshire) and Wyeast 1318 (London Ale III).

Nothing too special, but I'm delighted because I received the yeast less than 20 hours after ordering it. (MoreBeer has a warehouse near Pittsburgh). I went to take out the trash this morning and was shocked to see the package at 7:30 am.

I've been trying to support LHBS more, but they carry White Labs only. Paying $7 shipping for two packages of yeast hurts a little less when it comes so quickly!

 

[Pantherjon]

The Jan/Feb issue of Brew Your Own...And yesterday I got my Jan issue of All About Beer...

An unexpected 6er of Jai Alai from brother in-law.

A Christmas present to myself: a Kegco three roller mill. It's a thing of beauty, and a beast compared to my Barley Crusher. And, only $140 shipped!





Brew on

Supplies for my next brew day. MAN I wish I had a brick and mortar that wasn't an hour and a half away. The new growler station in town is supposed to begin selling supplies but they are having trouble sourcing the goods.

I got a luggage scale for weighing my closed kegs while I fill them.

Interesting...I use mine for double checking my grain bill total weight.

My shiny new system....

Those Spike Brewing systems are NICE! Keep us informed how your first batch through it turns out! Dream system! But not nearly enough consumption here to justify the $$'s.. But, lovely setup!

MM3-Pro. Gave it a test run last night. Took down 2 pounds of grain in less than 10 seconds. Barley crusher definitely feels like a toy now.

Built a mounting plate for it to crush right into MLT so I don't have to dump between buckets an extra time and stir up the extra dust in the basement.

May want to mount that drill. If there's a screw hole for where a handle attaches to the drill, that's the easiest way. Just grab the longest SS bolt you can find from Lowe's or the like and send it through the plate and put a wing nut on each side. Add a lock washer and or flat washer if you want to ensure they stay put. Wing nuts make for easy removal. Not doing so can really screw up your bearings by leaving all that weight sitting on them as they spin plus the off centered twist they will receive each time you start the drill. Ask me how I know. Also, harbour freight sales a variable rotor control that works well for speed control. Just lock the trigger open on the drill and throttle down with the control box. About $30. They're on AliExpress for a tad cheaper.
A sub $5 investment and a few minutes to install to extend the life of your mill. Cheers!

Yah that was the plan before i even bought it...

But the handle uses an M12x1.5 thread (wtf). Longest M12 bolt i can find locally is 70mm, which is fine, but it's only threaded for like 20mm. For now i'll just operate manually. I estimate it'll chew threw a hopper of grain in less than 60 seconds anyways.

This drill has a built in trigger and speed control. Works pretty well based on a few runs i did on my BC with it.

Think that's the same a my harbor freight drill. I found fully threaded SS bolts at Lowe's
Might be able to just get a threaded rod and trim it down

The right tap was part of an early Xmas swap with the gf. She's cool.

I'm guessing you don't keg your beer...

 

[smit70136]

I do but for less than 25% of retail this was impossible to pass up.

If nothing else, that's great for cellaring a whole lot of commercial brews.
