Too bad you're in BC, I have a 10G orange cooler mash tun just hanging around gathering dust. Doubt it's worth shipping that far.
What came in the mail for you today?

It will be worth all the money and time you put into it! All grain brewing was instant 25% improvement in all of my brewing. I made the jump after reading the quote "You can make very good beer with extract. You can craft excellent beer with all grain!"
A CIP Ball that fits my new Marks Keg Washer-Thanks for the excellent advice Homebrewtalk community!

2020 or 2019? Neither would surprise me.

A brand new keg for shelter water for my wife and 3 beer kits from AIH as a buffer until I get enough home projects done to get back to brewing again.
. Unfortunately it arrived empty

A new beer line cleaning attachment. The one that came with the pump cleaning kit does not fit which is strange because I thought all beer taps for kegerators were standard/universal. Hope this one fits cause I'm tired of having to take the lines off completely to sanitize them in the sink...
I found a box containing pounds each of Clusters, Liberty, Crystal, and Citra on my doorstep tonight.
I'm giddy.

New and loving it
Last week 50kg malt, 400g hops. Earlier this week another 9kg malt and 300g hops. Placed an order for another 50kg malt and 500g hops, as well as a packet of S-23 today. Can't wait!

Crush it REAL Good
Ingredients for an Irish Red Recipe! This will be my first official all grain brew (been an extract brewer for a few years). I got my water info dialed in to and I figured if I'm going to go all grain I might as well adjust my water chemistry too.

Food for thought... Whenever I change out a keg, I just run hot PBW from the keg I'm cleaning through my lines, let it sit for an hour or so then come back and run sanitizer from the now clean keg through them. Works like a charm with no special attachments needed!

Thats a great idea and I'll keep that as something to try. But I wasn't changing out a keg, just routine line maintenance because I had not done it since Nov. But thanks for the tip!
You are a better man than I when it comes to cleaning your lines then! Sadly, changing kegs is the only time mine get a wash.

I've only been kegging for a year. This was just my second set of kegged beer. Last time I cleaned them every 2 months. This time it was 3 months and the taps were stuck, wouldn't go back and forth! Lesson learned!!!
4" long 1.5" TC spool and two clamps and gaskets. I was concerned I wouldn't be able to fit a lot hops in just the Spike sight glass for o2 free dry hops

Great choice! A Lot of great brewing material out there but that book is , in my humble opinion , the Beer Bible. It's what really took me from extract and extract with grains and brew in a bag to all grain brewing. I only wish there was a pocket size How to Brew. Good luck on your foray into All Grain. You will find a tin of help right here on Home Brew Talk.
Cheers.
Got a couple packages today.
Ingredients for my first sour. Going to make a raspberry Berliner. I'm excited to see what Philly Sour is all about! Also got some yeast for a peanut butter and banana pastry milk stout I'm planning on brewing.
Also got some hot sauce to feed one of my other addictions. Err... Hobbies. Will be trying the stargazer with mac 'n cheese later today.

Amazon dropped off my new alien probe thermometer from Inkbird.
Forgive my ignorance, I just searched "bouncer" and came up with nothing. What is it?Broke my bouncer last kegging so I got a new bouncer that SHOULD be harder to break. Wish me luck, fam
I know amazon/china are the devil but this thing is $55 shipped.
Inkbird Heat Mat and Temp Controller along with the book "Brewing Classic Styles: 80 Winning Recipes Anyone Can Brew"
Bouncers are mostly used as an in-line racking filter tween fermentor and keg.
They can also be used as a Randall for hop infusion...
Cheers!
Ah, I didn't know that's what they're called.
I have this as a filter. Use it with a Mason jar with a bit of water/StarSan between my fermenter and keg.
Here's an example of a budget "bouncer" with a mesh "filter".
As a racking screen, imo even "budget" is comparatively pricey compared to at least one alternate method of keeping hop debris out of a keg...
...though as a Randall it has a clear advantage

To clarify, I use this to filter CO2 debris when using fermentation to purge my keg rather than wasting bottled CO2 to push StarSan out prior to racking.
