The beer belongs on that doorstep too!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Oooh nice, got. Link on that fine looking glassware? I saw a hazy IPA pictured in one like it tbe other day and have been wanting one ever since.

Sure- https://www.kegworks.com/urban-bar-spey-dram-whiskey-glasses-4-oz-set-of-6
I’m pretty sure I didn’t pay that much though. Maybe a different store with keg in the name. Nope this is right, I got them on sale.

Hey that's my setup too, almost. Same fermenter, same or similar spigot, and same hop basket. But can you tell me about your thermowell setup?

Sure, i bought it from AIH. I had to take apart the plastic stock spigot and use the threaded ring and the gasket. Its got the thermowell, and a grommet for a normal sized airlock.

Cool. Looks like the one NorCal Brewing makes. Same price too. What thermometer are you using with it? I'm currently using just one of these, but I'm not sure how accurate it is on the outside of a plastic Speidel.

Damn those are some tasty beers! [emoji6]
I’ll have to post the beers from you tomorrow. Too tired to pull them out of the cooler, dry them off and put them in the fridge.
Always a pleasure bud!

Uncommon Buckets arrived yesterday

And now that I'm part of the 2019 crew, I asked to try the 2018 batch. Needed a frame of reference.

 

[Abrayton]

Finally gonna get rid of picnic taps and build a keezer. Plus 3lb of hops

 

[bracconiere]

[three_bags_full]

Bought a 1/4HP submersible pump to build a keg and carboy washer when I get home.

I went all out for a nice thermometer early on in the hobby. I got the Thermoworks waterproof handheld https://www.thermoworks.com/Therma-Waterproof along with its rubber boot w/kickstand and magnet.
The probe I'm planning on using in the thermowell is one I bought for mash temp.
https://www.thermoworks.com/PRB-K-37X-T?quantity=1&cable-length=1
It's a flexible wire probe used for testing commercial dishwashers, though if I buy another it would probably be a cheaper wire probe. I'm extremely happy with the purchase.

I'm running Fast fermenters with the standard FF thermometer and thermowell. For the liquor tank, mash and boil kettles I'm using these thermometers. They're working really well.

Better late than never. A side trade with @TBC, but pickup was made on Friday. [emoji6]

I would be very interested in hearing how this works out for you. Been doing loads of research on Electric brewing options, but haven’t really considered this option.

We have that exact model at my work. It will start a gallon of water to boil in a rectangular pan in about 5 minutes. If the pot covered the whole coil, I bet it would go faster and I think that it’s plenty for a full size batch. Ours at work has lost its “calibration” for the temperature function. We use a thermocouple thermometer to monitor the actual temp while using it anyway.

There are a few people that are using them. The thread below convinced me to get one, but I haven't had the chance to use it yet.

See this thread for reference: Will this cheap 3500 watt induction burner work

 

[BrewMan13]

Power punch 22 beer line cleaner - I use it on a lot of my equipment as well, so always need some on hand.
Also, some wyeast yeast nutrient.

Absolutely, I'll let you know. It'll probably be a week before I use it as I've got lots of work to do in my brewing room.

 

[Abrayton]

Needed one of these for a while

 

[TwistedGray]

Could've got one for free if you took part in the FotHB ... rather, you could have been entered into a raffle to get one for free. @Abrayton

Just one other benefit for joining the HBT trades
