MOD EDIT: threads merged

I got a mash tun and an immersion chiller:rockin:
What did y'all get?
 
Nothing. We decided not to exchange presents this year, believe it or not!

But next week when I'm "home" visiting family, I'm going shopping. I need some small items (100 corks, for one!) and some clothes.
 
I really should have asked for some things...but I know my gf got me the "Designing Great Beers" book. I'm pretty excited bout that!

Merry Christmas to everyone in HBT land!! I can't imagine where I'd be in this hobby without you guys...and girls! :)
 
Gots me a barley crusher, 5 lbs of easy clean, and a new 6 gallon glass carboy. That'll help when I try making wine for the first time next year.

Merry Christmas everyone!
 
FoodSaver and a rock

Jackpot!!! On the rock, I mean. Are you going to use it to crush grain? Or as a paperweight for your brewsheet when you brew outdoors? Or you could boil your wort by heating the rock red hot and adding it to the brew pot. You are a lucky man!
 
Das Stiefel! (My last name is Stiefel)

The only brewing related item was a pint glass from my son's school - very nice. Am wearing a new shirt right now and my new flannel boxers. Want to see a picture? ;)

But was the baby excited about it all?
 
New kettle, refractometer, sight glass, sack of grain, 3 lbs of hops, Designing Great Beers, Dave Smith's Home Brew book, Home Brewers Answer Book, Radical Brewing some Left Hand Brewing swag and a beer mug from the college my son attends. Simply amazing how my mother in law knew exactly what to get me.:)

She handed me her credit card and said get what you want off the internet.
 
Some additions to the beer collection, a set of old school style beer glasses, and the go ahead to order a second march pump (she didn't want to get the wrong thing).
Killian's Irish Red, Raspberry Lambic, Oatmeal Stout, Delirium Tremens, Young's Double Chocolate Stout, Vanilla Porter :)

FoodSaver and a rock

You are a lucky guy! after accidentally throwing out my large stainless steel bearing I used for weighing down my hop catcher, I started using a golfball sized river rock, those things work great! easy to clean, and environmentally friendly!!

You will really enjoy that foodsaver as well, I am up to four of them, I don't think a day goes by that I haven't vacuum packed something.
 
I wont be opening presents until tomorrow morning, we drove to CA to be with my wifes aunt who has about a month left, and to spend time with our God-Son. After Christmas dinner we will be driving back to AZ, maybe I will get to open a gift or two when we get in!
 
SWMBO got me a dual keg system and a Johnson controller!!! I see a keezer build in my future. :cool:
This seems to be a trend.

I got enough cash for a keezer build, Brewing Classic Styles, and a sonic screwdriver.
 
Northern Brewer Irish Red kit. Receiving gifts is the one time I brew kits...it's just easier for people to buy them.
