4 loose handle kegs from Adventures in Homebrewing and 4-pack packaging from Spirited Shipper for this year’s 12 Beers of Christmas.
Last year, one of my packages was treated poorly by the carrier; I am hoping for better this year.

Yeah, I probably could have written that one better to avoid confusion, .damn, you beer swap a 4 pack of kegs? shipping must hard core!
I always try to make a point of emailing homebrew competition sponsors to say thanks. I emailed Briess last week, and they sent me a box of swag today. That's not the reason I send those emails, but I will be rocking those pint socks at church tomorrow!

If you can take the taste, try clove oil or even chewing a clove with that sore tooth to reduce the pain. Helps a lot even with teeth needing root canals.Some new spigots for the fermenters, and four new quart mason jars for storing yeast. I currently have three; two are full of Nottingham slurry that came out of the American Strong kegged last week, and the third has about 2 cups left of Loki slurry that has made some incredible beers. I only use about 1/2 cup of that per batch and it takes off like no mans business. And not from the mail, but dinner with my mom tonight netted me two ice wrap things for my tooth issues (tooth not getting pulled until 12/7 as it needs the oral surgeon). I look like one of those photos from the 19th century of a kid with a toothache, and a bandage wrapped under his jaw and over his head. But I feel tons better.
Been there done that; unfortunately the pain from this one is down close to the jawbone where clove oil can't get to it. The tooth itself is dead, the pain is coming from the abscess underneath it (which I'm on antibiotics for, fortunately NOT the one where I can't drink beer). The dentist could have extracted it, but it's going to need a bone graft so I can get an implant later, therefore the oral surgeon has to do it. I do brush & floss regularly, and see the dentist when I'm supposed to; but I inherited bad teeth from both parents.If you can take the taste, try clove oil or even chewing a clove with that sore tooth to reduce the pain.

I have one of those. Hooked it up last year, within 6 months the meter paper started coming loose inside the glass, the more/less turn knob pretty much stopped working at 10 months. Pretty much the only equipment I've gotten from Northern Brewer I'm not happy with. I thought it would last at least 5 years. Hope yours last longer than mine.CO2PO Dual Regulator came earlier in the week from Northern Brewer. Excited to get it hooked up! I hope everybody had a Happy Thanksgiving.

Mine is a single. I'm surprised it lasted only one year I rave about Northern Brewer all the time. Been nothing but pleased with them for years. I guess they can't personally check every piece of equipment, I just was unlucky and got one not put together well. Still , now I gotta buy a new one soon.Dang, I hope mine lasts I'll keep my single as a backup.
Another thing that went sideways on it, the emergency vent release. Gets stuck and if it doesn't sit back in there just right, good bye co2 from slow leaks. Bled me dry twice last month twice before I went over everything for a 3rd time and figured it out. 3 co2 fills in 3 weeks!!! I may go with a taprite or kegland regulator my next buy. Hard to get over the co2 nightmares my Northern Brewer CO2PO gave meDang, I hope mine lasts I'll keep my single as a backup.
