Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Beer related, I got a $50 gc for northern brewer. This was actually difficult, 1.50 a lb for 2row!?!? If it was my money I couldn't justify anything I ordered! But, have a few things coming On the other hand my wife said buy whatever you like. So I have an stc1000 and some other goodies on order also so I can start my fermentation chamber build next week. Looks like a good new year for brewing!

 

[cochised]

50 euro gift voucher so went and bought a dual output reg so I can set each keg at a different PSI

 

[Beernik]

I received a corona mill and a vacuum sealer. So there's nothing to stop me from going bulk with hops and grains this year.

 

[jrowland74]

This is what I got for beer. I also got a Galaxy Tab 4 to make brew days easier. Also, Batman footie pajamas... you know, for brew day

Edit: I also got a double edge safety razor with accessories, so now I can participate in those threads on here!

And don't forget your brewtility belt while wearing them while brewing!

 

[Psylocide]

Sweaters and cash.

And a wooden beer carrier with a bottle opener on it... now I can carry a six pack with me wherever I go. Oh and I got a magazine/book type thing with all kinds of extract recipes and brewing tips/tricks etc. I think it was called beginning brewing or something along those lines... cool book.

The one I'm most excited for though is a bar of soap that has a waterproof envelope sealed inside that contains from 1 to 50 dollars in it... you use it until you get to the envelope to see what you got, lol. Think my brother said he was just going to take a hammer to it... I'm going to wait it out.

My wife got something like that from our son & his fiance. A tall candle in a glass. ounce it burns down, there's jewelry left in it.

[pointcity-homebrew]

BG14 Burner, can finish my brew stand now
Keggle fittings from bargain fittings
A personalized growler
Book Beer , What to Drink Next by Michael Larson
Book Home Brew Beer, it has some simple recipes.
The Beer Book, brewery history, tasting notes etc.
Shirt- Microbrewology, Real Men Brewing Real Beer

The normal watch,cologne, shoes. I have yet to go to my parent's for Christmas so maybe I will drum up some gift cards.

 

[unionrdr]

@ psylocide-Yeah, different, but still a bit odd? I do like the tee shirt my wife got me. A black tee with a pic of Bruce Lee flexing from " Enter The Dragon" which says fear is for others. To boldly go where no brewer has gone...before! We are the Home Brewers... You will be assimilated...resistance is futile! :rockin:

 

[Newsman]

I received the brew controller kit with the heating belt and thermowell, etc. Also received a butt-load of tap handles.

 

[beerme70]

My son has become a pallet wood working phenom. I received this today for Christmas.

That is way too cool! Getting something handmade and from the heart....can't be beat! Your son rocks:rockin:

As for me, my loving wife got me a personalized glass and pitcher set.

Santa stopped by Bell's on the way to my house to pimp out the new kegerator with my favorite brew swag!

 

[dmcman73]

I got these two posters and an additional Spiedel 7.5 gallon fermentor. I also received a number of other things like tasting glasses and clothes.

Among other things, $90 worth of gift certificates to my LHBS. That'll cover at least 3 batches worth of ingredients.

 

[Pole]

American Sour Beers

[chuckstout]

A bunch of cool beers, my favorite being Fremont abominable bourbon, coffee and cinnamon😀 and got my wife a new phone so I can use homebrewtalk again😎

 

[muse435]

8 gallon megapot, igloo HLT, and igloo mash tun. It was a good Christmas

 

[mjdonnelly68]

Santa brought me a Pressure Cooker so I can start canning starter wort. Should be a real time-saver.

 

[user 163849]

This 16 gallon stainless steel kettle to take the place of my 10 gallon aluminum one. And a Thermo Works Time Stick along with a book titled Brew Ware. Oh and a six pack of homebrewed IPA from a brother in law.

 

[BKamp1457]

My first 5gal. ball-lock keg and a propane burner. Now more waiting an hour to boil water on my electric stove. Also brewing outside, especially on a 55F December day is great.

 

[Seismogenic]

Only one thing beer-related, but I'm excited about it!

I may still only be a few months into this hobby, but I realize I've already been thinking of each batch as an experiment of different combinations/timing of ingredients, and I definitely am happy for all these tips in exploring parameter space!

 

[FatDragon]

In addition to the stuff in my previous post, Santa also opened a duty-free imports shop relatively nearby in our Chinese town on Christmas day. The beer section is nothing but Belgians, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Now to convince my wife that I need some $18-20 750mL bottles of Gouden Carolus Christmas and Delirium Noel before they're gone...

 

[JonM]

I dropped a hint that I didn't like using the little caddy I use to carry around all the various plumbing fittings, tools, bottles of whirlifloc, etc, and Santa was listening because a cool toolbox showed up.
