What came in the mail for you today?

After 10+ years of PET fermenting decided to get something a little more shiny. May have overdone the TCs. View attachment 771722

No such thing as overdoing the TCs.

One of these (and some yeast nutrient to get to free shipping level): CoolBrew Corny Keg Cooler 5 gal. | MoreBeer

I like that @BrewMan13 , I've been using bubble wrap but that looks cooler.

Of course they will work perfectly for sixtels also.

Yeah, I bring kegs to places fairly often, so it was about time I got something like this. Throw some ice in and should be good for a couple days based on reviews I read.

 

[T Murph]

Does it have a carrying strap on it also? Those really are cool. I wish I had invented that. I think everyone should have one or more of those. Beats the hell out of bubble wrap.

Yeah, it's got a strap. The reviews said it's kinda weak, so we'll see. Not a major feature for my purposes regardless.

My FotD box from @CTownBrewer

Boom

I finally remembered to take a pic and post it here...New 2.5 Gallon Corny, roll of EVAbarrier, some regulator washers and camlock gaskets:

I got a 20 pound Co2 tank online. Local place quoted me $260 for the tank and $23 refills. Found a new tank for $130 to save money.

 

[T Murph]

@Beerstein you will need to find a HBS or welding supply to refill it. Most only swap them out. Then your pretty new tank ends up going to someone else. And you come home with an old ugly banged up tank.

I know. Nothing I can do about it. At least the local welding place has pretty clean tank swaps.

In fact the local welding place didn't have enough ten pound tanks to even let me pay the money. The guy upsold me in the "idea" of a 20 pound tank

Hops!!! Lots of hopses....oh my preciouses....ok I'll stop now. 1lb each of Citra, Mosaic, Sabro, and CTZ from YVH. Ordered Sunday, got here today via usually unreliable Fedex, very impressed. And of COURSE a new sticker! I think I have 15-16 on my ferment fridge now, just from YVH. I sometimes get more excited about the stickers than I do the hops.

 

[Homebrewer20]

A float valve I'm installing on my kuerig so I never have to fill the tank manually again! . Gotta work hard to be this lazy!

 

[blkmagik98]

Received a RAPT pill electronic hydrometer and got it set up. Going to brew this weekend and try it out.

 

[Pacific Electric]

Awesome and congrats. But no that's not too many clamps. You're gonna add a bunch of attachments they will be needed for. You're gonna love it.

Thanks. My concern was not having enough TCs on brew day. I'm sure once I figure out my process I'll know the number of TCs needed. Better to be prepared.

I've always found that I never have enough clamps and gaskets. Always have extra gaskets too. Oh and TC end caps!

I had soaked half my Fermonster with PBW to get some crud off and it left a film on the inside. I can only reach in the neck up to my forearm so I cannot reach the layer of film on the inside. Tried rinsing with Starsan and Iodophor with no avail.

This is a soft sponge, no abrasive pad.

Its not much, but it is something.

I got one of those and an ego boost too.

I unscrew the bazooka screen from my igloo mashtun and place the keg and ice in it. It has handles and stays cold a long time.

Was actually a couple weeks ago.. had a couple unicorns show up though.

Oooh, kinky

Seriously though, do the double hinges make them easier or more difficult to use?

Seem to be easier to fit and just feel better quality. Pressure testing the 4" next week. I've got a good feeling about them, tbh.

New immersion chiller!

2 of this and that from Spencer, before it’s all gone.

This showed up in the mail last Friday, so I had a chance to put it through its paces on Saturday’s brew day. I’m blown away! This thing is incredible! I also grabbed one for my dry hopping keg. I was dubious regarding their claims that it could cope with pellet hops, but after Saturday’s results, I’m eager to see what it can do. No more tubes, balls, bags, floss… I’m geeked!!!
