Ingredients for my first brew of 2018: an attempt at a Boston Lager-like amber lager.

 

[WFox93]

A copper immersion chiller. No more 2 hour long ice baths in the sink or setting my brew kettle outside in the snow

 

[walker111]

Just yesterday.....

2 WLP 001
3 gas disconnects
1 beer disconnect
4 swivels
3 way manifold
a CO2 keg cartridge system for taking kegs camping and 4 CO2 cartridges

feel like a kid on dec. 25th!!!!!!

 

[Smellyglove]

500x of these little handy ones. I use them with a small rubber band to tag kegs and lab-glasses containing yeast, and erlenmeyers on the stirrers. Bought 100x a few months ago and I have less than half left, so 500 should keep me going for a while.

Beautiful fermentor

 

[Jayjay1976]

Two new 7 gallon ported fermonster, which doubles my fermentation capacity. I can't wait till they are all filled up and bubbling away!

 

[Rob2010SS]

Got my new kettle and burner in the mail yesterday. Upgraded from 55k BTUs to 72k BTUs and 8 gallons to 10 gallons.

 

[Jayjay1976]

That edelmetall stuff is gorgeous. Are you going to solder the fittings?

 

[Rob2010SS]

Yeah, I have to agree with you there. It's some good looking stuff. I've seen the burner after some use and unfortunately it doesn't stay that way, but oh well, I've accepted it.

I wasn't planning to solder the fittings. I don't have that equipment to do that. I'm guessing that's recommended to do so?

 

[stella_tigre]

LE Petit Ruby Cabernet kit.

 

[mithril007]

Bottle capper oh yeah

My new digital thermometer from @inkbird arrived today! I can’t wait to try it out this week with a brew I have in mind of trying.

I would also like to say thanks to @inkbird for the great communication from being selected on their latest drawing! They are a great sponsor here at HBT! Cheers!

What are your first impressions re: build quality and accuracy? I plan on buying one but would love to hear from someone who actually has one!

 

[RevKev]

I made a simple Graff (recipe from HBT) and used it this week. It was very quick and responsive! I did a calibration test like I would with my old Taylor thermometer and it was near spot on. There wasn’t any instruction to calibrate it and it was within its range out of the box.

For the price, it seems like a solid device. I would buy another one for $10 (+/-) without thinking twice. Durability is unknown at this time but I think with normal care it should last a long time.

I hope this helps!

Exactly what I was hoping for, thank you!

Following feedback from experts here, I went all in! “Buy once and cry once” right? [emoji51]
Went from stove top & 5 gallon kettle to 15 gallon mega pot and Edelmetall burner with leg extensions. (Can’t complain got a great deal on the whole package)
I brewed my first all grain “MIAB” 2 weeks ago, it killed me to spend ~6 hours brewing for 2.5 gallons of beer...
Also thanks to @FuzzyIguana who posted an amazon recommendation for a 50’ SS wort chiller for $50 which should complete my brewing setup.
Next step is either grain mill or SS fermentation? I also need to finalize a solution for heating my fermentation freezer, keep heat mat on carboy or something else?
Loving this hobby! Thanks everyone for the support.
