Got my 20 gallon kettles! Just waiting for my electric panel to get finished being built. Electrician comes a Tuesday. Getting close!

Loc line, a new 400 micron brew bag, and some PVC gloves.

I had a couple quarts overflow recently because my other brew bag (around 250 mesh) wasn't lautering quickly enough to keep up with recirculation so hopefully the new bag takes care of that.
 
It's a dark brown honey from Zambia. The bees collect nectar from tree flowers. I'm going to try it first in a tripel, and maybe later in a Mead. See the sponsors showcase.

Sounds interesting. About a year ago I tried a honey ale and made the mistake of using off the shelf honey (the brand that comes in a plastic bottle shaped like a bear). It was not good.
 
Wasn't really mail as it was personal delivery service from my lhbs. Got some golden promise and mosaic hops for a smash IPA I plan to brew (one of my locals makes this and after having my first can I knew I had to try to brew it myself), as well as some extra citra hops I had needed for a brew but they had been sold out when I placed my last order.
 
Not brewing related, but expecting a 2.25" lift kit with new rear shocks for my WK Jeep.
I learned something new today. I “knew” you had made a typo and meant JK for a pre 18 wrangler: I had no idea the Grand Cherokee was given a two digit designation as well. I’m glad I google first! :mug:
What tires are you running (or going to be)?

Not exactly sure on the tires quite yet, but they will be 265/70/17
 
I pulled the trigger on the Ss Brewtech motorized grain mill and the matching Brew Cube stand. It came today and it is a tank! I checked mine with feeler gauges and the gap size is consistent the whole width of the rollers and on each end, so I am stoked that mine is nice and tight spec wise! Can't wait to use it on next brew day. I ordered the casters for the stand and they will be here Thursday.

Cheers,

John
 
I'm too lazy to go take pictures of my yeast/bugs that came in today, but I cant wait to pitch my ECY bugfarm, bugfarm 2, bug country and the mad fermentationist saison blend!! I'm giddy..going to go grab some grains from LHBS on break tomorrow and get brewing Saturday morning..and possibly evening..and likely Sunday morning as well
 
2 Liters? I assume you are doing quite small batches.
5 gal in a Mash and Boil. I'm adding about 2 gals via sparge to reach boil volume. It heats to 160 deg temp in a couple of minutes and beeps when it gets there. Thats about 3 or 4 dumps of 2 liters. Works fine. Beats what I've been doing which is room-temp sparge.
The alternative was a hot plate, a pot and check it with a thermometer.

Don't buy that much commercial beer, but still want to help the local guys. So ordered some trinkets (sign, patch, pin), and a couple of beers that looked interesting from 2 local places. All shipped or delivered by the actual breweries.
 
freshwatersystems.com is my go-to for most plastic fittings.
They have a tool that makes it easy to home in on the make/model info here: Quick-Connect Fittings
Once I have that info in hand I look for the best deal - and often it's with them. Shipping of late has been lengthy, but I suppose that's mostly the times we're all in...

Cheers!
