What came in the mail for you today?

I was able to get my hands on some Northdown hops for my Fuller's London Pride clone I am brewing next week. Got it today and it came from a brewery in England! Great price and really good people to deal with over there......

Congrats, jcav. You mean, you bought the northdown direct from an English brewery?

Yes Sir! EnglishAndy here on HBT hooked me up with a link to the website on E-bay Uk. Apparently it's a popular store front that supplies lots of people over there. The name of the brewery is Croomsmyloof Brewery. After I placed my order Steven Smith from the brewery sent me an e-mail telling me the package of hops was being taken over to the post office. He also wanted to know what I was brewing and wished me great success. I sent him back a reply with what I was brewing and a picture of my brewery. He couldn't get over my home brewery and he said it was a "Cracker"!

Here is a link of the store front on E-bay UK.

Here is a caption from their website:
We're actually a contract brewer - mainly mashing experimental brews for the industry as a whole, hence the large variety of hops. And don't think you're getting any old hops we've no use for! We'll get through (and sell - mainly to other breweries) a 5kg foil within three weeks, so pretty damn fresh and all from the latest harvest - Mostly 2016/17* (*see below) with best before Dec 2019

I am excited to get my hands on these hops. Thanks again EnglishAndy for hooking me up with them!

Well actually just the coil came in the mail but all of the kit in the picture was bought today.

Got this handy faucet wrench today so I can get it inside my tower on my kegertor to get the nut off more easily, when I change my tap lines. Got it for $11.53 which is a good price considering I have seen it go for $30 to $40 on some websites. Here is a link:

Some 90ish degree tri clover elbows. Someone needs to send China some squares for Christ sakes, Stevie wonder could build better 90's than some of these.

 

[pshankstar]

A new CO2 manifold with MFL connections and some other kegging accessories. Also a nice fall jacket for work that was long over due.

My first piece of new gear in a LOOOOOOOOONG time came today. It is a.......................... Blichmann HELLFIRE! WOOOOHHHHHHOOOOOOO! Great timing too. I am brewing tomorrow morning!

55 pounds of Golden Promise malt, 4 packs of Notty Yeast... and it wasn't in the mail but my beef rancher delivered my 1/4 of beef so I moved 202 pounds of beef into my freezer today. $3.39 a pound cut, wrapped, and delivered to my front door! Grass fed organic beef!

 

[Transamguy77]

MaryB I’m so jealous!!! I haven’t found anyone out here in Cali that sells beef that way but when I was in Pa that’s how I bought my beef too. It was a bit more, between $4.25-4.50.

 

[MaryB]

I literally can't stand grocery store beef anymore. It is bland and tasteless after eating grass fed for 6 years. Comes form a local rancher and is butchered locally so a rare hamburger is safe to eat(I asked the butcher if he would eat one of his burgers rare, he grabbed some raw beef coming off the grinder, salted it, and ate it!) and that alone makes it worthwhile to buy local!

Got some Ultra Barrier Silver beverage tubing yesterday and some otiker clamps, to use when I change out my lines in my kegerator.

BLC, 34/70 yeast for an experimental warm fermented lager, and some K1-V1116 yeast for hard cider(maybe a cyser with some honey), and a hydrometer sample tube so I don't have to drag the one int he house out to the garage to test OG(one in the house is used for FG). Seems to be the one thing I always forget to take out to the garage for a brew day!

 

[Northern_Brewer]

3kg of Chevallier malt (see http://www.brewersguardian.com/brewing-features/supplier-news/1858.html for background) to go with my heritage hops for some proper 1890s action.

And since shipping was a fixed rate up to 30kg, a 25kg sack of Fawcett's Otter and some more yeasts to play with, found their way onto the order.... Sadly they had run out of WLP066 London Fog already, it was in and out of stock within about 2 days.

 

[Jtk78]

Yesterday I got all of my camlock fittings and today my refractometer is coming. I get to brew with my pump for the first time tomorrow morning. Doing 5.5 gallons of a dry stout and 5.5 gallons of a Belgian blonde.

This didn’t come in the mail but I did get this today. The family and I visited an old friend & met her boyfriend. We started talking about homebrewing and he said he recently had to give up the hobby due to lack of time. Then he pulled out a bag and said “do you want these”? Well hell yeah! 12oz left of both Citra & Mosaic plus the 1oz bags. The Cascade wasn’t even open.

Now I need to figure out a time to brew a nice IPA with these hops & I’ll probably use some of my Amarillo hops too! I told him I’ll be in touch when it’s ready for him to enjoy too. It’s the least I could do for some free hops.

Just took delivery of my dream counterflow chiller, all stainless and about 30 feet long, can’t wait to put this bad boy from Stout Tanks to work.

Just got my CO2 Harvester kit from Nor Cal. Looks well-constructed. Bought some 1/2 gal Mason jars at the store, and now it's assembled and ready for next brew day.

A 24” thermometer from Thermoworks. Can’t wait to stick this in my next mash!
