What did Santa bring you?

[Grantman1]

My girlfriend got me a trip out to Asheville (for brewery tours) and a lb of citra hops. Talk about support for the hobby!

 

[acidrain]

I love my mother-in-law.
Right now, I love everybody.

 

[dstranger99]

50' stainless wort chiller, avvinatore, bottle tree, and a BIAB bag (not pictured) can't wait for some full boil all grain batches.

Once you use that Vinator with your bottle tree, you'll wonder why you never had one until now........

 

[marubozo]

Do you want to hear about the new in box Zoeller M267 pump I snagged at the auction last week for $73 or is now a bad time?

Wow. I ended up buying a zoeller, too. Next time I'm in KC I'll stop by so I can kick you in the junk.

Santa was good this year, but not terribly up on brewing.

My brother went and emptied out mom's old storage unit about 10 hours south of us, then brought it to her house. I figured it contained mostly junk. Turns out, it held almost every picture taken of me before high school. I got about half of them from Santa. Ah, memories.

The wifely Santa bought me a Casio keyboard, stand, and offered up a spot in the living room to practive. Completely unexpected. Looks like it's time to learn music theory!

Pretty pumped about this:

I apparently put things on my list and then bought then myself - Birdman Brewing's Black Friday sale led me to buy a Perlick 575SS kit and I needed a 5L flask for a beer I brewed on Sunday. Oops.

Sweet, a paddle. "did you get spanked much as a kid?"

"As a kid, no."

 

[stevo4361]

I got kegs and associated equipment! Good bye bottles!!

 

[pdxbg]

3L bottle of Double Bastard!


Before anybody asks, I don't look happy because I have an abrasion on my cornea and can barely open the eye/ see anything due to extreme light sensitivity. I'm also on Vicodin meaning I can't drink any of it

Drinking on Vicodin is fun. But not recommended.

SWMBO got me a two-keg rig with a filter kit, my daughter got me a capper and my son picked me up a bottle tree..! Got an awesome, supportive family..!

 

[OhReally]

Designing Great Beers by Ray Daniels.

I kind of know what to do now maybe I will learn why to do it.

+1. Awesome book. The nice thing about it is that he explains why these beers are the way they are, and the way he explains how _____% of 2nd round/finalist/Award winning brews employ the techniques and ingredients they do. A definite must-read in my opinion.

 

[MirImage]

Two more kegs, bottle tree and vinator, floor corker, and a yeast book. Very happy!

 

[BrewChem]

Also got a copy of Brewing Better Beer by Gordon Strong... and a big 'ole box from Hickory Farms.

 

[SkippyWilliams]

Burner and a 44qt SS pot

 

[backdeckbrewing]

A new keggle, some glassware and a case of New Glarus, spotted cow.

 

[breweringbeaz]

Carboys, clone recipe book, and a wort chiller

 

[cshamilton]

No homebrewing stuff, but I may get an AHA membership with some money I received.

I did get 1 case of 3Floyds Zombie Dust and another case of mixed 6 packs, so between that and the homebrew I'm set for a few months!

I've been borrowing a friends every time I have to bottle so I know how awesome they are. Stoked to have one of my own.

 

[cheesehed007]

Lots of glassware, a growler a tin sign and some bottle caps.. Pretty good haul

 

[jsmcclure]

A Chillzilla and a Blichmann throughmometor - so sweet

 

[neko]

Didn't need much brewing stuff but I got 4 lbs of hops, a nice pint glass, a beer book about Portland, and this awesome non beer present.

 

[govner1]

A two door True cooler & a Marks Keg washer.

 

[Whut]

You've made it to the secret chit chat area. Just one more click...

Bwahahaha - I thought the same thing.

Better be a hobart.

You know it isn't

Yes please, I'll take that. And I live in the same city, so watch out. ;-)

 

[ButcherBoy]

a refractometer! WooHoo! can't wait to use these on the next brew day!

 

[ButcherBoy]

Well, don't know what happened to the first line of the last post, but... I got a Brewers Precision Tool Kit from BrewHardware.com, this is a trifecta. A thermometer, scale, and...

a refractometer! WooHoo! can't wait to use these on the next brew day!

 

[LuckyBeagleBrewing]

Another 44 liter(11.6 gallon) plastic fermenter and a 15 gallon Demijohn which means now I only have to fill each fermenter twice a year to hit my limit. I only ferment 10%+ beers in glass so with the demi and my existing 6.5 glass carboys I can have 2 - 10 gallon batches going at once. WOOT!!!

The plastic carboys are the ones from Homebrew Heaven. Only place I can find them. I use them quite a bit with no problems.

 

[tonyc318]

2 perlick 525sstf faucets, a stir plate, and a yeast starter kit

 

[cdubbaya]

Having a birthday near Christmas has its benefits. I got a 8ft freezer and a Johnson A419 temp controller for my keezer project. I also got the IPA book and Radical Brewing. Finally I got some more glassware, can never have enough of that. I also got some wool socks, and anyone who's brewed outside in a Minnesota Winter will tell you that's a brewing requirement.

With the cash I got for my birthday I might just buy a third tap setup to get all 3 kegs going.

Cheers and Merry Christmas!
