What did Santa bring you?

[TheCADJockey]

We don't do much for holidays- but I got two t-shirts and a CD.



Here's one of the t-shirt (unflattering picture of me for sure, but I burst out laughing at the t-shirts from my grandson and husband):

Any happy picture is a great picture

 

[frozennorth]

A 15 gallon Bayou Classic brew pot with gallon markings and a spigot. Three 22 oz. one Ruination, a Double Bastard, and a Black IPA; seems to be a Stone theme.

 

[Zekk]

I got the Hops book. My wife got a canning set, which I have a feeling I'll use more than her. We also got a small TV for our room/nursery.

 

[MileHighBrewer]

Bayou classic sq14!

 

[FatDragon]

Gifted myself a 50 kilo bag of base malt, a second ale pail, and a couple packets of BRY-97. My wife agreed that as a Christmas present to me she would help sell off the unused wedding gifts and some of our used stuff that's been gathering dust since we moved to our new apartment and use part of the proceeds to buy a bigger fermentation/bottle conditioning chamber.

 

[jmcquesten]

Spiedel 60L fermenter. 11 gal moose drool clone will fill it up early next week.

 

[billslaw1024]

Bought myself a lb of mosaic, a lb of cascade and a lb of magnum. Also got a second regulator for the tank in the basement.

 

[stlbasementbrewer]

6 perlick 630ss faucets. No more sticky taps!!!!

 

[watermelon83]

$500 to spend on equipment and ingredients. Wifes getting two shelving units for the garage tomorrow that will hold my grain and other stuff. I'm thinking about getting the Spiedel meant for ten gallon batches and the hydra from jaded with some of the rest. I would like to get a bag of MO though we'll see.

 

[LakeErieMonster]

Everything necessary to build a Kal-clone EHERMS brewery in my basement.

 

[Hello]

I gave my wife a dutch oven too..... She wasn't very appreciative, gagged, and slapped me upside the head!

I laughed and gagged then laughed again.

Doesn't have anything to do with beer but a new Martin guitar sure is swell

OMG so beautiful.

I got some gift cards for home brewing stuff & Home Depot, a weber smokey mountain smoker, slippers, thermapen, and a few other goodies. Best thing is I extended my trip another day to spend more time with my family.

[ArizonaGoalie]

A bottle of Karl Strauss holiday beer - Five Wee Heavy Bells, a 9.5% scotch ale. Drank it with a lovely turkey dinner

Also received a 16.9oz stainless steel man mug. Opened the day with a coffee stout in the man mug, then the Karl, now drinking my own bourbon dubbel.

Merry Christmas!

 

[Hobnob]

A Blichmann beer gun, the water book and the hop book!

 

[thaymond]

3 cornys, $200, several brew mags, a couple of beer books, and glassware. Great addition to the two kegs sitting get in my serving fridge.

Just need gas, regulator, gas and liquid tubing, ball lock qds, and ill have a kegorator and a fully stocked beer fridge. That is, once I fill those kegs with tasty homebrew. It was a good year!

 

[Berk]

My awesome wife helped me take my brew game to the next level. She gave me a Jaded hydra, a stainless mash paddle, some stainless fittings and 3 piece ball valves. My boys gave me Vortex and 2000ml Flask. My in-laws who love my IPA gave me cash to put towards the Wallace weldless Brew Stand I built this month. I gave myself a blingmann autosparge and two chugger pumps to go from a gravity to a single tier system. Looking forward to the next brew day!!

Between my recent bday and today.....

The wife secretly bought me a Chillzilla and a 300 micron hop spider/dryhop spider combo... And here i thought she wasnt listening when i "offhandedly" mentioned my need for both... lol

 

[BlueHouseBrewhaus]

An oxygenation setup - stone, wand and tubing.

 

[Snowden]

Stuff to make my first batch of mead! Going to start small with a 1 gallon batch using donated honey from friends at work!

 

[Brew_Dude41]

New grain mill (some assembly required).

Going all grain for my first brewversary.

Santa started me down this path last, and my wife still is not sure if she is happy where this is going.

 

[CJ-3]

I got a home brew recipe journal. Might not sound like much, but it is what I wanted.

 

[amateur_hour]

just joined this forum and Im sure there is lots of reading to do. My brother and I are into craft beers so I decided to get a kit.

For Christmas I went to Chapters and got him a 200 beer recipes book. Little did I know until I opened it that he got me the exact same book! Hahaha

 

[1977Brewer]

NB 1 Gallon starter kit with Caribou Slobber. I steeped the grains at 150 for half an hour and added rolled oats. Figured I'd start big. Ended up boiling down way below a gallon so I topped off and pitched. Already making foam in the jug after three hours.

 

[fergusmj]

Merry Christmas everyone. I got a Barley Crusher, 15' of 1/2" silicone tubing, 2000ml erlenmyer flask, 3 3-pc ball stainless ball valves, 4 female cam locks, 3 male cam locks, and a $30gift card to my LHBS
