I’ve been from end of this galaxy to the other and I’ve seen alot of strange stuff, but I’ve never seen hops in a can before. Brewing 3 gallons of beer with 1/2 oz hop additions, it would take me a very long time to use 8 oz of any one hop. Are those re-sealable somehow?

 

[bracconiere]

well, it actually showed up yesterday...and i haven't got a chance to pick it up yet...but, a keyboard, so i can keep making an ass out of myself here!

A couple Perlicks from @Deadalus. Much smoother pour than the Krome faucets that were on there beforeView attachment 669924

Very nice, and sweet decals[emoji16]

Today I opened a packet from Aliexpress that was supposed to be a motor speed controller for a second stir plate build but was surprised with a pair of large gold-colored hoop earrings.

Dispute processed, refund incoming.

Just imagine how some poor lady feels with a speed controller hanging off her ear

Not in the mail, but courtesy of a local pro brewer who obviously doesn't need his homebrew setup anymore. Another piece still coming I think.

 

[Saunassa]

One pint vacuum sealer bags so I can bag up some once ounce hop pouches from the pound packages.

Sometimes I hate my local post office, but today is one of the good days....

 

[grampamark]

While brewing last weekend I realized I was almost out of lager yeast, so I ordered some.

I’m sure one of the cool kids will be along shortly to tell me I’m still out of lager yeast.

 

[wepeeler]

Temp control all hooked up!!!

Let me know what you think of the Berliner, that is your expertise. That was my first co-pitch. If the plum is bad it was due to the member who shipped them across the country.

Munich light and dark is in there.

I see I am not the only one who grabbed that $4.99 hop special

 

[TwistedGray]

Hand delivered by my neighbor : )

 

[Deadalus]

Picked up a practically new nitrogen regulator. Guess that's good incentive to get my keezer finished and brew another stout.

Should keep me out of trouble for awhile. Still awaiting the 55lb sack of 2-row. I should have gotten a big bag of pilsner as well, but I’ve got to ease into this whole 55lb bulk grain thing

 

[deuc224]

Immocles, what are you paying for 50 lb bags of 2 row? Im trying to weigh out if I should just get local or do it thru intraweb.

 

[Immocles]

I bought off NB. $59.99. I’m sure there is cheaper out there but I’m within next day shipping and they’ve always been solid for me.

This is the first time I’ve bought that size. I needed 28lbs for my next couple months worth of brews and at that point it just made more sense to go big. I think the price was the same for 40lbs as it was for 55lbs. Figured I’d just stock up for what should last me the rest of the year.

Right now I'd be asking round local commercial breweries - they will have plenty of ingredients they won't need for brewing in the near future, and a desperate need for cashflow. And buying local means fewer hands touching it. Plus in the UK at least, the main homebrew retailers are swamped and are struggling to keep up.

 

[deuc224]

Damn I might hit up my locals then. The LHBS told me 55 tax included for Briess 2 row 50 LB sack, which really isnt bad at all considering i dont have to wait for shipping. Im gonna price him on the General western 2 row and if it compares good to online ill just order from them and see if they can order stuff they dont have in house like German pilsner and belgium pils as well.

 

[Immocles]

Weeeeeeeeee

New 5.5 gallon anvil brew kettle. Put in the ball valve and thermometer, checked for leaks, brought some water up to the boil to calibrate the thermometer and all's good and ready for my next brew day!

 

[Dave Sarber]

Christmas in Tucson. If the world ends, I won't know it.

 

[universalfrost]

SS Brewtech 15 gallon kettle (used) , Chapman 7 gallon fermenter, 1.5 TC element canister, 1/2 cam locks assorted, draft faucet brushes.

all were crazy good deals on eBay... paid less for all of this combined then what I paid for my other SS brewtech kettle new (have matching kettles now).

 

[BruceH]

60lbs of base malt. I only ordered and paid for 50lbs. Is this a test? I emailed morebeer and asked how to pay for the other 10lbs.

They got back to me. Thanked me for being honest and said to consider the extra 10lbs a gift since they screwed up.

Gotta like that!
