Report back on how you like it and how hard/easy it is to clean, please!
I’be been thinking about one of these for awhile,but have been holding off due to COVID. (Feels like there’s nowhere to fill it at the moment)
What came in the mail for you today?

I got K1 v1116 and a new auto siphon. Kiddo snapped the first one.
New Fermentation Fridge 
Not mail, but close enough. My sheet of "whiteboard" Formica laminate arrived for pickup at the local Lowes today
Got the email notification one beer into the early evening but hauled ass over there anyway, rough cut it, then decided to wait 'til the morning to do the contact cement thing - because you only get one shot at getting that right, and beer was already happening
Meanwhile, what still hasn't come in the mail: my 20 Tiny XLRs sockets remain hostage to the USPS system in a facility a mere 20 minute drive from me, now going on Day Eight, after traveling all the way there from China in less time. Status shows "Accepted" in bold print, and "Waiting for acceptance" directly thereunder in smaller font. Eff me.
So I filed an inquiry today with the USPS around noon and was surprised to receive a call from my local mail warden within a couple of hours, who said "Yeah, that's weird, but we're gonna figure this out".
Tbh, I have a feeling I'll never see those connectors, but at least someone out there heard me.
At least I have the top now. That'll keep me busy for a couple of days. Then back to waiting...
Cheers!

Whoop Whoop! Transform into Optonot Prime!!!
I'm pretty sure that's the same fridge I've got. Or at least VERY close. Works well to me! Of course I still want a 6-tap keezer, but we need to move for that!

Whole Nother Level Brewing
Replacement kegs posts for a couple of faulty ones on old kegs, and the tool to do it.
You and me both. We have to move for me to expand the brewery any further. And to kick start the move, I bought 3 corny kegs. Maybe that will get the wife moving
The fridge is up and running, my Smithwick's clone is fermenting away at 67!
Sadly, not many brewery deals to take advantage of locally, but I wanted to support this.
5 packets of Nottingham yeast (very nice date too, 10/21) from amazon. LHBS can't get any English yeast, and Notty is my go-to for my ales. I can usually make one packet last for at least 3 brews, so I'm set for a while.
Some yeast from a fellow brewer, a hop spider, a plastic 1-gallon measuring cup, and I’m waiting on a 2’ long stainless whisk. Time to retire the plastic mash paddle and my last experience with bagged whole cones was less than satisfactory.
Something to put in my new fermenting fridge, anyone want to buy a 6.5 gal glass carboy with gallon markings etched on it?

Got some freshly roasted coffee, not planning to brew with it, it's just to drink
Got my 24" stainless whisk. Time to retire the stainless spoon and the plastic mash paddle-both less than perfect for the job. Not beer-related, but also got some wool dryer balls for SWMBO and Magic the Gathering cards as a reward for when my son does his online learning without us having to revisit the Crucifixion.

Fast ferment 3 gal and 4# green coffee beans.

Got this delivered today, pretty interesting so far
20 Tiny XLR sockets finally showed up, shipped from China a month ago, and after 15 days sitting in a USPS portal a mere 20 minutes from my house.
And now I know why: the ******* that applied the shipping label folded it around the envelope, so half the destination addresses was on one side and the rest on the other - while the tracking bar code was prominently visible all along. Which explains why it traveled via commercial transport quite efficiently, really, then choked the USPS which needs an optically readable address.
Ironically, the package showed up today, while 24 hours eariler I received a missive from a postal inspector, who claimed (in spite of all evidence easily visible in the USPS tracking tool to the contrary) that the USPS never received the package ("Ignore those two logged scans, Customer!").
Traditionally, in-bound packages to my postal district that come through the west portal (Shrewsbury MA) are then routed through the north shore center (Chelmsford MA) before being conveyed to my town. That takes at least two full days as the mail moves overnight, with delivery on the third.
The bitch of this is, just last night I gave up on ever seeing this friggin' connectors and stripped enough off a test panel for my keezer build, so I'm going to have to put that back together, in addition to continuing the actual keezer build
Sigh...

New TorpedoKeg arrived today, and was promptly cleaned, sanitized, and filled with Milk Stout that’s been waiting for a good home.
Got a 50' copper chiller coil to cool my tap water running to my plate chiller
And today received my hop stopper for the bottom of my brew kettle.
Getting ready to being brewing again after a 3 year hiatus. More to come...

So shiny!
This is my second one...I have two, now. They work like a charm, so far...One year warranty (Non-Return Warranty). I don’t use the brass fittings that come with it...I change them out to stainless. Recirculation or hot fluid transfer they work like a charm. They also are submersible. They are only about 2.75 inches long. On Amazon.

Still getting some parts for my upcoming first brew in 3 years.
Today's haul, some cam locks and plumbing hardware from Bobby and BrewHardware. Bobby even threw in a thrust washer for my March pump when I called inquiring about a rebuild kit. Quick shipping, very satisfied with the delivery. Thanks very much @Bobby_M
