I'm thinking a Mosaic/Strata hazy is in my brewing future.
What came in the mail for you today?

My 10 gallon Spike kettle arrived today! Unfortunately, I didn't realize that I had to order the ball valve separately, so right now it's a really bad $200 sieve. It was 100% my fault, though, because I didn't read the description closely enough. I jumped online to order my valve, and it's on its way. Spike even agreed to ship it for free, since it would have shipped free with my kettle. That's really top-notch customer service!
My ball valve should be here in a few days (I"m guessing Monday or Tuesday. I'm planning to brew with it next weekend!

You'll love it. I love my 15 gallon Spike kettle.

Yep. I'm stoked. This is the second one I got from the hospital. The first one was just a residential small frigidaire that wouldn't keep temp. But it's just a horrible design. I'll probably never get it to not freeze up. And you're right about the cost of things. They threw this thing away. It's not very old. This same model sells right now for $5500. I understand they don't trust it to house the nearly $3 million in drugs that was in this thing, but there are companies that specialize in buying used hospital equipment. Apparently this facility has had some liability concerns. Anyway, Yay me!What an epic score! And that helps explain why a hospital-issued Tylenol costs $200
Cheers!

And.... I got this thing yesterday. Figured I would try this method sense I can't seem to make good homebrew anymore. I really don't get it. My commercial brews have been great, my homebrew has been horrible. I think I've got a bug in the system. Either that or every one of my thermometers are bad. Throwing away all soft parts and giving everything else an acid bath.

Lol, those cookies got slaughtered (as I expected). Oh well...eat the crumbs; they're good : )
Glad you like the chorizo!!
Anddddddddddd enjoy. I now realize that I didn't send info on those HBs, oops.
Lol crumbly or not... They're pretty tasty. When you get chance, I would love to know more about the homebrew. Looking forward to trying everything. Cheers!

Spikes gas manifold, hopefully to be able to make closed transfers possible. Now looking at needle valves for small pressure increments.
Needle valves control flow, not pressure. For fine pressure increments, you need a precision regulator with a high sensitivity, high precision gauge.

Got the pressure gauge and the PRV already, just something to control the incoming gas flow.Needle valves control flow, not pressure. For fine pressure increments, you need a precision regulator with a high sensitivity, high precision gauge.

Fall beers ready to start. Honey Weiss, Oktoberfest, Juicy IPA, and some Pumpkin Spice mixtures. I'm a big fan of pumpkin pie and now on a mission to find a pumpkin pie beer

Yes! I’m going to have coral tooth srooms. The mycelium looks very well established In this kit.

Not at all what I have it earmarked for, but I like where that’s going. Might have to give it a shot with some leftovers.
Calista is my dry hop of choice for lagers right now, but never hurts to mix it up
