Thanks @inkbird for the discount code! Very much looking forward to using this bad boy at the next brew day!

Thats the one I use. I really like it. I messaged inkbird when my old thermometer ( earlier model than that one ) had went berserk and quit working. It was apparently a known issue and he replaced it with that one. That one works excellently and seems to hold one hell of a charge, as I think I've only charged it once or twice in about a year.
 
Package of needed items from AIH ordered during their spent $100 and get a $20 gift card sale.
I took advantage of a sale like that around Christmastime and bought myself a second tilt. I'm working on a cart right now to get to about 85$ so I can get 10% off (current code), burn up my 20$ GC, and still be over $55 for free shipping
 
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 ;)

Cheers!
I bought one of those several years ago. Not the Big Daddy but the smaller. I didn't have much success with it. Had to stop the transfer too much to clear out the constant clogging. I have more success draining and straining(filtering) thru the hop spider. I do still have the Big Daddy on my shopping list on Amazon but that button has not been pushed in the 4 years it's been there!!
 
Had some malts and hops and yeast delivered in the last week. Mostly base stuff, cheap and uninspiring just to make some cheap drinking beers.

This week I'm getting another 25kg bulk bag of pale malt (milled), pilsner malt, a packget of Hellertau Nugget, US-05, roasted barley, type I and type II munich malt and some crown caps. I'm going to try my hand at an Irish Red Ale. I've never made one, but I LOVE the style. I've been afraid of making it because I've found I'm super finicky with the style and some of them I'll LOVE while others I'll not be bothered to drink again.

I sincerely hope I can figure out this style to my own liking.
 
17 30-round and 2 20-round AR-15 mags. Not all of them were for me.....
As in they belong to somebody else or as in destined to meet, really fast, someone in particular?

And I recieved a corny and a little ball tap handle. I drilled the hole too high and the faucet was being triggered by the freezer door, so I had to find a very short handle. Looks cute tho.
 
A tilt, A 3 gal FerMonster and accessories (Air lock, carrying strap, etc.). I was hoping the aeration wand I ordered would come today but it's apparently being drop shipped from Anvil. So I'll have to wait to try it out.

Yesterday was a Chest Freezer from Best Buy to use as my new fermentation chamber. (Not technically the mail but figured it counts)
 
Stout tap for my nukataps came in the mail today. Read differing opinions on how well it works with just CO2 but for a few bucks figured it was worth trying to get that cask effect with my stouts and english ales. Gave it a go with the best bitter I have on tap and very pleased with the results! Watching the cascade effect while pouring it was mesmerizing. I have an irish stout lined up to replace the bitter when it kicks so looking forward to how it does with it.

Hop bags, Tincture of Iodine, and a bayou mash paddle.
Getting ready to try my hand at all grain for the first time! Well, as soon as the weather warms...
Congrats! You are gonna love learning about all grain and enjoying the amazing beer you will make as you get better at it. Plus if you can't get outside, there is always the kitchen stove! I do all my all grain stove top. I have a gas burner and an electric conduction top and I still do 99% of my brewing on the stove.
 
Got a message this AM from FedEx that my Morebeer order would be delivered “by end of day.” By 7PM there was no sign of a delivery, and the tracking report had been changed to “no delivery time scheduled”. About 7:45 I get a call from the FedEx driver. He‘s trying to find our farm. I give him directions and, about 30 min ago he drops my malt, flaked grains, and yeast on the front porch. I guess they give fast service, no matter how long it takes.

As a “non-traditional” college student living at home, i’m lucky enough to get to brew outside without too much hassle.
But thanks! I’m very excited to start my all grain adventure thanks to another hbt member hooking me up with a cooler MT, HLT and 16g kettle! Been extract brewing for 8 years, and cant wait for my first AG batch
