Cashmere under-rated. I grow quite a few varieties for my homebrew and still purchase the popular variety, but love these. I've started to see them quite a bit recently in commercial beers (Canada).

 

[gunhaus]

Star san - bottle caps - and 42 new handguns, 16 new rifles, 50 sparkly new AR 80% receivers, 10 gun barrels I have been waiting on FOREVER! 2 new chamber reamers, 2 Rem 700 receivers, 2 PTG bolts, and 6 triggers!!!!!! It's like freaking Christmas here, and another order almost as big tomorrow. Don't know why everyone filled orders at the same time! But I will take it. Got tool steel, oil, solvents, powder, a few thousand bullets, and copper strip coming tomorrow, as well as 2 row, and 5 lbs of hops, and of course most of my outstanding gun orders! No ammo to speak of though - that is still an issue, but it will catch up!!!

 

[seatazzz]

Not today but yesterday (too busy fighting with car repairs yesterday to post) got my 1lb each of Saaz and CTZ hops from YVH. They are out of Chinook and Columbus, so trying CTZ for the first time since it's basically the same thing. Gonna use the Saaz next weekend in another batch of Czech premium since I have plenty of pilsner malt on hand.

Had plenty of base grain on hand after a club group buy, but some specialty malts were lacking. Today a package arrived with 5 lbs flaked corn, 5 lbs Simpson’s golden naked oats, 5 lbs crystal 150, 5 lbs brown malt, and a couple pounds of Black Prinz malt. Also a pack of S04 and S05, and a pack of WLP550 (Belgian ale yeast). Also some miscellaneous stuff like campden tablets, PBW, and yeast nutrient.

I should be set for a bit now.

just have to keep waiting patiently for the Anvil Foundry to ship...

yeah, more than I need, but I like having it on hand. I do a lot of dark English milds and porters and always use a good amount in those. Plan on also using some in an espresso stout I plan on brewing soon... need something to get the day going in the age of the plague.

Sounds like a good plan.

Hey Doug. Over 35 years at IBM. I lived there most of my life. It was a great town to grow up in and then also to raise our kids. Sad what its become. We left in 2013. Still have family there.
You?

Also left early August 2013. 34 years with Big Blue (two tours), and 2 with Endicott Interconnect. My daughter was born there. It was sad to see the decline. Most of my, and my wife's, family is in the Seattle area, where I grew up, and returned to.

Any continuation of this discussion should occur in a Private Conversation, since it would be off-topic here.

Amazon, about $60. Slower than all get out, but really and truly 0ppm.
Search for portable RO system.

I have looked at RO systems in the past, but I can't get past the amount of water that is wasted, especially when my town has water shortages almost every year.

You could always use the 'waste' to water your plants. They wouldn't mind the extra minerals...

50 lbs of Pilsner, 10lbs Maris Otter and a bag of whole Simcoe hops. I read some reviews and they were mostly positive of Viking Malts so I’m hoping for good things.

 

[CodeSection]

While below is mainly for my vegetable garden, this is what was delivered last Friday. Then today I received an email from Great Lakes Hops indicating my Amalia, Willow Creek and Multihead are on their way.

 

[fourfarthing]

Not in the mail per se, but the local shop in Grand Central needed to move some inventory, so I am supporting local biz.

 

[BongoYodeler]

Grains, hops, a replacement bottle capper, a replacement bottle filler, and 12 flip-top bottles.

 

[user 263363]

Mash and Boil with pump delivered to work today. I ordered it Saturday night and it made it on a Wednesday, not too bad.

 

[deuc224]

LHBS has a bag of Maris Otter waiting for me. Already paid but will probably grab some chocolate malt and lactose from him also.

There is a Facebook group, should you have questions.

 

[CodeSection]

They literally just came in from Great Lakes Hops...Williamette, Willow Creek, Multihead and Amalia. I only ordered the last three and it appears they threw in the Williamette! Great people!

 

[user 263363]

Already there. Thanks for the heads up

 

[Rob2010SS]

Well, not even sure where to begin... gotta say, never seen brand new corny kegs. They're pretty nice! The glycol chiller and the unitank are pretty sweet too lol.

Still "winter" here in Boston area, been in 40's the last week, no plants to water yet...well except the special ones that are growing in my neighbor's basement. ;-)

Mid 80's all week here. No more room temp fermenting for the rest of the year.

Jealous!

 

[wetmk]

Fed Ex just delivered yeast. The Mad Fermentationist Saison Blend from Bootleg Biology. Great stuff. And since yeast is all they do it's always super fresh; unlike the 3 month old Ardennes that I received from NB yesterday.

 

[Krg7]

Inkbird ITC-308 for the ferm fridge and a bazooka screen and ball valve for my boil kettle! Super excited to finally be able to precisely control fermentation temperature.

 

[Dave Sarber]

A new 5 lb CO2 bottle (full), a 3 way manifold, Firestone and Cornelius poppets, a couple picnic taps and disconnects, and 10 feet of gas line.
This didn't all come in the mail, I had to go to my LHBS for "curbside pickup".

I'll take my 20 pounder out of the keezer, and have room for another keg!

 

[TwistedGray]

Thanks again @gromitdj for the yeast! Time to try to make donuts!!

 

[bracconiere]

i got a shirt from the 'Short Circuited Brewing' merch store.....sums up my self perfectly......(except i brew on NG, and the wall socket tap, is off....)

At first I was thinking WTF then I realized you own a gun shop. Cool beans.

 

[Brewbuzzard]

No more buying and carrying all that heavy RO water. Woohoo!
