What came in the mail for you today?

[TwistedGray]

24" stainless spoon (can finally stop using the girlfriend's spatulas for stirring the mash), 14" x 6" hop spider, some ball bearings for weighing down dry hops.

Bought a big spoon ok Amazon a few weeks ago, too. Tired of grabbing tree branches

 

[RoguePixels]

Another 5gal keg from AIH and new digital temp probe.

 

[NitrogenWidget]

Nylon tea bags.
I want to experiment with dry hopping some session beers in the growler i'm taking camping.
Their ok now but I brewed them in the spring and they have faded a little.
they are also in the back of the keggorator and I don't want to move the kegs around cause then it stirs stuff up.

 

[BrewMan13]

Some kegworks power-punch 22 for beer line cleaning.

 

[Dave Sarber]

An igloo 120 quart cooler, an 8 foot braided stainless hose (guess what I'm making!), and 25 pounds of Maris Otter.

Still waiting for a valve, thermometer, and some fittings/hardware.

Yesterday two vials of cooked yeast from the vault. UGH. The package smelled like raw bread dough when I opened it, calling whitelabs on Monday.

Follow up, I had responded to the “your package was delivered” email, and on Monday there was a reply with apologies and a replacement order with overnight delivery submitted. As long as the fedex guy knocks it should be okay.

Fun things coming this week for me. So excited!

I had the same issue with yeast from Northern Brewer. They basically said too bad nothing we can do about it. I made starters and tried to salvage the yeast but my Hefe with 3068 is a sulfur bomb.

6 stainless steel ball lock flow control connectors. And a baggie of camlock gaskets.

I've got flow control faucets. Pretty much hate them. Hopefully I'll get better results with these connectors.View attachment 633110

Picked some of those up too. Looking forward to giving them a try!

If you made a proper starter and pitched healthy yeast (which it should have been) there is another reason that caused your "sulfur bomb"

But Northern Brewer has always in the past been very good at replacing yeast. Wonder if that has changed?

BTW, it is best not to order liquid yeast for shipping during summer weather. At least you should spring for next day delivery so that it shouldn't sit around in a hot truck. By liquid yeast in the summer (and probably mid winter) from your LHBS.

Indeed, yes avoid shipping liquid yeast in summer. The discussion started out with the white labs vault release, which THEY decided to do in the summer. Perhaps because business is slower for them this time of year, or they just want something for their employees to do (double shipping many orders) anyway, they are making it right.

Hmm, I think I would have contacted the credit card company to refund that purchase.

Do you homebrew?
Do you trade homebrew?

From @JCasey1992 and the FotHB trade thread.

 

[matt_m]

Did I do OK for $110 delivered?

[Immocles]

Inkbird digital thermometer
A handful of rubber stoppers and airlocks for cider and mead jugs
A small variety set of beer glasses (because I can't find the ones that supposedly made it to my wife's house from my house when I moved in...And I'm sick of mason jars)

 

[BongoYodeler]

These!! I decided to build a treehouse out of them.

 

[shoengine]

Excited!

 

[jimyson]

Awesome gift from @fourfarthing. He brewed a beer and named it after my cat. Looking forward to the weekend. Thank you!

 

[shoengine]

I'm double-dipping here but I'm still very excited. Looks good snuggled inbetween the fermenter.

 

[Saunassa]

Pound each of Cashmere, Calista, Ariana, Amarillo and mandarina bavaria from Hops Direct.
Found my ticket for All Pints North beer fest in Duluth this coming weekend too so one heck of a wonderful day.

Are those brown top tall bins to the left of the woodstove the airtight grain storage bins that are on Amazon in the $15-25 range? I so do they work well for grain?

Wife thinks we got them at Petco, but I can't rightly remember. They've had turns as pet food, flour/sugar and now grain.

For what it’s worth, I learned a valuable lesson on Tavour about decision making.

 

[jturman35]

I always liked the Nova Vert label! Not a bad beer either!

 

[jturman35]

This is what happens when you drink beer and shop online! Damn, looks like they had a hell of a ride from Belgium! Sure hope they are worth it, $165 for a 6-pack!

A decent, sturdy cylinder valve for my O2 rig, with the proper 1/4" barb, from MoreBeer (guess they're all the same.) I originally had a hardware store BernzOMatic valve with the odd 11/64" (?) barb. Had to slip a sleeve of 1/4" OD tubing on that as an "adapter" for my 1/4" ID gas line. Okay, this is a little thing, but it really peeved me. I like things done right. This little thing makes me happy. I think it's a pretty nice rig now.

[seanjwalker1]

New tobacco pipe to enjoy what's left of summer while drinking home brew

 

[brewbama]

A new scale to weigh grain. It goes nicely with the 50# sack of base malt I got yesterday.
