What came in the mail for you today?

[JAReeves]

@wilserbrewer sent out my new, custom bag that fits over the handles AND the bulkhead of the sparge assembly + QD super fast!

 

[Gusso]

Not today but yesterday. Got a big order from RiteBrew. Dry yeast (8 packs), liquid yeast (just 2), 40# Maris Otter, some rye malt, and a couple of other items.

 

[SourLover]

I can finally say goodbye to the plastic folding table.

 

[seatazzz]

Also not today but yesterday, restocked the yeast supply with 3 packs of S23 and 5 packs of Nottingham from Amazon. Their prices just cannot be beat; less than $40 for 8 packets of yeast? With really good (as in late 2023 for both) dating? I do like to support my LHBS's, but both are +45 minutes away, and what with 11+ hour workdays including Saturdays, I just can't get there as often as I'd like.

 

[Sammy86]

We gonna be making some Lithuanian Farmhouse Ales and Lagers with these bad boys!

 

[BrewZer]

Two ounces of Galaxy and two ounces of Vic Secret hops from the AHA as part of their membership renewal program!

I'll probably try one or both in a SMaSH or SMaTH...

Damn, I need to check my mail box lol.

 

[Sammy86]

Looks like I'm brewing next week!

 

[JAReeves]

A new and perfectly usable window A/C unit that I am about to disassemble and turn into a glycol chiller, thereby voiding any and all warranties, implied or explicit!

 

[GoodTruble]

The homebrew fates shined on me today, and all three of my deliveries for the next 3 days all showed up early/today....may have to brew on father's day after all......

 

[hopkincr]

Order from Yakima came today - 1 lb of Cascade and 10 mL hop shot. But…they sent 150 g of hop extract. I opened package and there was a can and I thought the syringe was in the can but, nope, pure hop extract. Now the can is open can’t close it, so transferred to a container and store in the freezer. Figure I can get a syringe from work and use 10 mL aliquots. Anyone use or have this much hop extract before?

 

[hopkincr]

And this came yesterday. Pretty dense.

 

[DuncB]

It might be dense but not as dry as this!

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Two new (to me) Perlick faucets and a Nukatap faucet, all from @thedon986.

 

[bracconiere]

i got 44lbs crystal hops, and a extra lb of beluma something 90? sweet! i can use the beluma which says it's 9.9%AA, and the crystal is 2017 4%....don't know why the other bag is puffed up...but it be about as good, as when i worked with a girl with hop farmers in idaho, that gave me 4-5 garbage bags full every year.....i miss that woman!

 

[dirkomatic]

Milwaukee pH600 and three inline CM Becker inline disconnect check valves from morebeer.

 

[dchmela]

I just got a pound of Sabro and a half of HBC 472, brewing a hazy tomorrow.

 

[bracconiere]

@Sammy86 just got these, plastic bottles man! we're birds of a feather! i'm going to throw the ones with the mr. beer labels in the food fridge for tomorrow, and the two keg carbed ones in the hop freezer above my kegs for in a few hours.....thinking i'll pour them when they hit 42f or so.....

 

[day_trippr]

Restocking my neipa hops. Uber blingy!

 

[Dr_Jeff]

My wife told me that 33 pounds of hops arrived.

 

[Transamguy77]

Got some hop rhizomes yesterday and going to plant them today.

 

[JAReeves]

Got my HopStopper 2.0 from The Electric Brewery. It fits exactly right. Can't wait for my next brew day with my DIPA recipe. Who's scared of the hops now, plate chiller?

Bazooka Screens? We don't need no Bazooka Screens!

 

[pshankstar]

So this finally arrived. Only $10 on Prime Days and with some credits too.

 

[bracconiere]

Awesome yea I’ve never tried it

is that a BIAB thing, or a hop thing?

edit: or maybe steeping grains? mini mash? i gotta know!

edit 2: i have no idea where that other quote came from?

It’s for hops in the kettle either during the boil or flame out. But I could add it to my kettle while I’m mashing in with the BIAB and put my sous vide in it and not worry about the grains clogging it.
So it would have multiple uses.
My intention is to get away from using hop bags during the boil & FO because I hate emptying and cleaning them afterwards.
Yeah where did that other quote come from? Haha

probably something i replied to and forgot to click "Insert Quote"...happens all to often...and do you have a link? i hate cleaning hop bags too!

Let’s see does this work? This is the one I bought. I need to clean it and schedule a brew day before I can give any comments on it.

might have to get one! good luck with it! (and thanks for the link)

Shiny new 7.5 gal brew kettle from Homebrew supply.com. Caught it on sale for $24.95. Basic, only comes with a weldless bulkhead but I'll drill for a thermometer. Also no gallon markings , I may etch or not depends. I wanted it more as a HLT than a brew pot but why not ? Off topic, also got my 2nd ZWO ASI120MM planetary cam. TOYS !!!

 

[JAReeves]

Received two books for the library, and the last two cooling systems. Once I finish the A/C glycol chiller build, I will be able to cool 3 fermenters at the same time!

Looks so fancy and eclectic! Like a fermenter for upper crust brewers!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

FedEx was working today.

Ha. I keep a running list of potential beer names, and Upper Crust Brew just got added to the list. =c).

 

[JAReeves]

An induction-ready saucepan so I don't have to keep going up and down stairs to make wort for starters. It's not that thrilling or flashy, really, but oh, so very practical.

 

[Northern_Brewer]

A keptinis surely?

Upper Crust is a sandwich chain here, I guess it's a British sort-of-equivalent to Subway found mostly at railway stations and the like.
