What came in the mail for you today?

[BongoYodeler]

Tapcooler counter pressure beer bottler and accessories ! Woohoo !!!! Now all I gotta do is clean the 5g, 3g, and 1.5g kegs......the beer and keg lines.....the taps.., get the CO2 tank refilled tomorrow and transfer the beer Friday night. So I guess by this time next week it should be smooth flowing.View attachment 744116

But you won't be allowed to drink any beer.

But you won't be allowed to drink any beer.

The wife has started letting me have 1 or 2 on the weekends. It's been almost 5 months since the heart attack, sugar is under control, I've lost 20 pounds so I'm back at my Army and high school weight !!! Lowest weight in 25 years. And I finish 3 months of cardiac Rehab next week. But that's why I got the Tapcooler, so I can hand out more beer to the neighbors and friends.

Yeast so I can do the inaugural brewing with the new Anvil 10.5. Local supply shop closed last week, was sold to a new guy who hopefully will open it again soon. But I never got him to stock any decent wyeast. He like dry and I hate dry yeast. So I had to order from the next closest store in Ozark MO.

In my case, it's what didn't come in the mail today, or more accurately UPS. Made a mistake on my delivery address saying that I live on 3rd Ave E instead of the correct 3rd Ave N. Of course, UPS can't figure the difference out and won't let me change it, so I had to contact Northern Brewer. Hopefully they can straighten it out before UPS gives up and returns it.

Of course, the order contains what I need for my next brew day, the Sierra Nevada Pale clone kit from NB.

Just got a call from the UPS center for my area, and the address has been changed, and it will be in the mail tomorrow.

German and Polish hops and K sorbate.

Camlock quick disconnects. My brew day planned for tomorrow got pushed back a week, so maybe I can get my new (to me) pump/RIMS up and running by then.

 

[crazyjake19]

Yet another floating dip tube. I'm really loving fermenting/serving from the same keg.

we can be brew buddies! i strangley got another package from a different FedEx truck today....weird but, @Stormcrow if you didn't take me seriously! i only had 19lbs of whole barley for malting so i ended short for a 10 gallon batch for my usual OG of 1.060....only got ~16lbs of malt, but YEAH BABY, problem solved! brew day tomorrow for sure!

thinking that box of flakes, and 8oz of chocolate malt...should be interesting!

 

[MaxStout]

A game gambrel, some carabiners, and a ratchet pulley with 3/8" rope from Amazon. Making a gantry to help me lift fermenters in and out of my chest freezer ferm chamber. I had added a 6" collar to the freezer, making it even harder to reach in and lift.

Hoping this will take a load off my back.

 

[Dr_Jeff]

@bracconiere wash that table dude

 

[bracconiere]

@bracconiere wash that table dude

that stuff don't come off.....but thanks for the words of support! (similar got my stove top fairly clean, and i've brewed 3-4 times since, and keeping it that way! )

speaking of which, i need an angle grinder, don't they sell like sorta scrubbing pads that are nylon or something for them?

Doesn't that box of flakes have preservatives in it ?

I plan on getting a gambrel too, for the same reason as you. I used 2x10's for my collar though. I like the idea of a ratcheting pulley. I've got one for assisting when lifting my grain bag out of my kettle.

I have a couple of those ratchet pulleys for BIAB (Wilserbrewer), but they're only rated at about 75 lbs, IIRC. Wouldn't want it to let loose my Brew Bucket full of beer, so I ordered the 250 lb. version on Amazon.
