spare keg oring kit, and a replacement pressure relief valve also a graduated beaker set and was allowed to take a 4L graduated cylinder from work (the nice nalgene ones).
 
50 gal. Spikes kettle. Fantastic workmanship! I ordered the twist lock TC elements as well. Looking forward to setting up for 1bbl batches.


Nice!

Technically not in the mail:hops grain yeast and a new hydrometer from local brew shop
 
I've enjoyed the book "Home Brew All Stars" by Drew Beechum & Denny Conn. So I ordered their other book "Experimental Homebrewing: Mad Science in the Pursuit of Great Beer" which arrived today. I hope to finish HB All Stars this month so I can move onto the other book.
 
Wow, this thread is still going strong! I have a few upgrades myself....

My partners and I are building a monster!

SS Brewtech Re-Circulating Mash Manifold. I don't think it will actually do anything for me, but I'm in love with the looks of the thing. It certainly can't hurt...
 
Mine was a little while back but I got 4 packs of White Labs WLP009 Australian Ale Yeast from yeastman since I can't find in the stores yet. It is no longer a platinum strain.
 
a second Mk II Wort Pump from WilliamsBrewing (great customer service)
and from Ritebrew (I am in their 1 day 8 dollar shipping region): 16 Lbs of Two Track Dakota malt
2 oz of Citra / 2 oz Amarillo / 4 oz Galaxy / 1 oz Apollo
 
Hach Pocket Pro+ PH Tester because it's time to start messing with water profiles.

Also a stainless steel immersion wort chiller because I'm tired of my copper ones oxidizing.
 
If you don't mind sharing, what was the shipping for that 4lbs buy? I'm trying to figure out shipping costs from other hop vendors since Niko Brew is no longer an option. 🙁

I see their site is down, but pro site is still up. They close?
I'm a big fan of Yakimavalleyhops.com
Check them on black Friday for sure. I got $5 pounds of cascade, ctz, Zeus, centennial last year. All 2016 crop iirc. Plus a free hop shot and hop hash!
Anyway, I got an Apera pH meter. $28 on a lightning deal. Figured it was worth a gamble. Solid reviews. Seems to be a better option than the $10 ones. Has a cover that keeps the probe wet. Came with a case and testing solution too. Good enough to be good enough I hope.
