Two packs of White Labs Old Sonoma yeast from their "vault". Interestingly, it was packaged in the old style vials not their "new" package design.
 
2 ounces of Citra, 2 ounces of Mosaic, 8 ounces of Nugget, and 24 bottles. (Needed those bottles. I don't drink fast enough!)

Brewing a mango habanero pale ale on Sunday.
 
Was yesterday(lost internet last night before I could post), 10 pounds Simpsons Extra Dark Crystal for my house ale, my third Intertap, the shank to mount it along with the rest of the hardware to connect it.
 
Ingredients for a Patersbier came this AM. I ordered Thurs from Great Fermentations. It shipped the same day I ordered at flat rate. I am 30 min into the boil now.

Yesterday 15 liters of apple juice. SWMBO was not too pleased... oh well.
:D

edit: and Ken Schramm arrived today in de mail! double-woohoo!
 
I got my thermoworks 24 inch digital thermometer. Really didn't expect it to be as long as it is. I mean I know that it is exactly that length, but just didn't realize until it got here how long that is in the kitchen. Tested it in boiling and ice water. Got 33.1 in ice water and 208.4 at boiling which is close at my altitude in Phoenix. Hope this thermometer stays accurate. My glass alcohol thermometer went bad by 5 degrees near boiling. I started using a meat thermometer and it went bad by 12 degrees at boiling. Must have been 8-10 degrees high during the mash. Glad I mashed high on my last beer, but still think it might come out a little thin. If that's the case I'm pretty ok with it since I am interested in the hop character that I get from the Zythos hops in this beer.
 
Hophammer replacement kit from Adventures in Homebrewing. They sent me the wrong kit so now I get the right one free!
Exceptional customer service!
 
WLP Hansen from the "vault". Unfortunately, the vials were hot to the touch so I doubt I have any viable yeast for my planned brew(s).
I contacted customer support with no reply.

No more "vault" purchases for me & probably no more White Labs!

My WLP835 vials from the vault obviously got so hot that they both leaked about 1/4 of the contents out! My wife was the one who retrieved them from the mailbox and she got covered with yeast! Boy was she pissed!

WL sent replacements but they arrived equally hot, although they ddin't leak. The ice pack was about 95F so maybe there's a chance.... i'll definitely be checking way way ahead of time.
