They wouldn't hold at their facility either, but they have to know it had alcohol. It's interesting they didn't dispose of the contents which I'm extremely grateful for (many one-off things in that box). It truly sucks either way...will have to wait and see what is left and if they DO say something when I file the claim.

Please keep us posted. This does truly suck!

I would have been nice if they would have just let me go pick it up.

But nooooo, I was told, “sorry it needs to be returned to the sender”. BS!

Yeah, I never understood that policy. I've had it happen just like this with another carrier, too. Apparently it's insurance related.

Fire Ant and Crowd Control!

I'm blowing through my "Watched Threads", catching up after a busy weekend, not really paying attention to thread titles, just working my way up from the bottom, when I get to here and think "Well, fire ants WOULD be great crowd control... Wait, what thread am I on???"

A more heavy duty scale to measure malt - primarily for base malt types of quantities.

Monster Mill! Assembly required.

Some new bottles from @HopsNTails.

 

[MaxStout]

A bunch of stuff from MoreBeer. Grain and hops for a Belgian golden strong I have planned, some odds & ends like bottle caps, etc., and four 1-gallon jugs to start experimenting with small batches of cider.

Sounds silly, but I brew in my driveway and use a long hose from the house for my IC. That means I have to set up the IC and hose, run to the house to turn on the water and then run back to the driveway to stir while it chills. When its done, I have to run back to the house to turn off the water. NOT ANY MORE! Don't know why I didn't think of adding a valve to my IC before now.
P.S. It came in the mail.

I have one of these too, which also took me entirely too long to get. Another good addition is the quick disconnects for the hose and the QD mate on the IC, faucet/sprayer, etc. then I can go from washing with the hose, to connecting to the IC, and back to spraying down other things (kettle, fermenter, etc). So I ended up putting the valve on the end of the hose with the QD on the other side (left of picture is the end of the hose, with valve then female QD; shown near male QD with sprayer; second pic of male QD on my IC):

But onto why I initially replied- BE CAREFUL with the valve on the IC. If it is closed when you drop the IC in, with no hose connected, then you open before connecting the hose, you could be in for a wicked burn from steam / water escaping due to leftover moisture in the IC boiling. Just thought I’d give ya a heads up! Happy brewing!

I like your idea a lot. I have an RV hose with filter to get my strike and sparge water. I use a different hose and nozzle to rinse off equipment as I go and I use the same hose for my IC. If I get a few quick disconnects, I can skip threading and unthreading the two hoses from the faucet and the nozzle and IC.

As for the warning, thank you. I never hook up the hose until I'm done with the boil and the IC has been in the hot wort for 10-15 minutes. I'm always worried the hose will get too close to the burner. I may well have left the valve closed the first time without even thinking about it and been in for a rude awakening.
