What did Santa bring you?

[gratus fermentatio]

I got a new set of SS BBQ tongs, an apron, a gift card to the lcl bottle shop, cheese & sausage, a box o' beer & homemade jams, a Kringle & another year of HBT. I'm a happy camper.
Regards, GF.

I'm pretty sure I was still buzzed from last night.

I have CT in VT - the east coast will be hard to fill because the states are so small. The rest of this thing will be tough as hell to fill with beer caps from the missing states. I'll just rough it. Otherwise, it'll never get filled.

Mine is just a Michigan map. 127 holes to fill with just Michigan breweries. Are there enough breweries that bottle to even do that? Looks I need to go shopping.

I got a 2 spout tower for my kegerator so I don't have to open the fridge and use picnic tap for my second keg. might have to take my keggy apart for my gas line so I can have 3 gas lines just 2 and tired of unhooking and rehooking gas. also a 200 nb gift card

 

[podz]

Hardcover copy of one of my favorite books ever.

 

[Rhetorik]

20 gallon OBKettle, gift certificate to Sam Bat to have a custom baseball bat made, tinted visor for my Marquez Shoei RF1200, bottle of the Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye (******* it is tasty)

Going to buy myself a blichmann floor burner today, also

Mine is just Wisconsin. I'm going to put a Milwaukee cap where Milwaukee is, and do the same for New Glarus, Madison, and Green Bay. The rest is going to just be caps from all over the country.

 

[Terek]

got a ph meter pen, and a refractometer. Just what i wanted

 

[Schmoogdaddy]

Behmor 1600+ coffee roaster for my other favorite beverage.

No equipment but my wife ordered a Surly Bender kit. I usually don't brew kits but she heard me talking about this beer with a friend and ordered it. Made the yeast starter last night.

 

[DurtyChemist]

My girlfriend bought me some new Ss Brewtech gear...An Infusion mash tun, a 7gal chronical Brewmaster ed., a sparge arm and temperature controls.

I hope you're giving her a ring soon. Holy FAWK she is a keeper.

I bought my step-father the beer cap map for Nevada and added the wall mount. The first one broke so they sent me a second for free and now I have one. Some people get creative with theirs and make it the state flag colors (Texas did this) or make circle patterns with their favorite breweries. I figured it would be cool just to keep caps from beers he likes or have a creative design plus his sports bar has a University of Nevada theme so I could probably add school colors in there.

I've decided to try and do all Michigan, with a few special exceptions...Great Lakes Brewing has a place on my map for more than one reason.

EDIT: and I may allow 3 Floyds in the SW corner and New Glarus in the western UP.

Big fan of GLB. Their tank 10 series is constantly fantastic (drinking a Lake Effect IPA as I type) and so are their seasonals, though I wasn't super thrilled with this year's Winter Ale for whatever reason.

Super thrilled with my new gear. The tinted visor looks badass. Also, well aware the thermometer on the kettle is upside-down; I put it in for picture purposes only. The nut it came with needs to be replaced as it is raw and not threaded.

 

[RobbieSkull]

I got a flat tire (slow leak) and a coffee cup.

 

[Zekk]

I got a grain mill, I think it's the Cereal Killer, with a decent sized hopper. And I got an oxygenation stone. Time to brew a big RIS!

 

[Homercidal]

Got a Thermapen to replace my cheap broken thermometer that I've had since almost the beginning.

It's an expensive piece of equipment, but it does read pretty dang fast!

Umm I got one of those and Im 25...still havent made it past the first few pages due to my attention span. Maybe he could read it to me?

 

[jrowland74]

I got that book for Christmas last year. It's a great book. My kids love it, too!

 

[GHBWNY]

Thermapen Mk4. Thanks to my wife. Waterproof, backlight, rotating display.

This is what I asked Santa for prior to Christmas, but ended up with a Blichmann Brewmometer Adjustable weldless dial thermometer! Aw, bless my wi---, er... I mean, Santa's heart! Needing something portable, I asked 'him' if I could exchange it and got a gracious thumbs-up.

Scotch, beer, more scotch, a hot sauce sampler pack, tickets to the Pink Floyd Laser Spectacular, and that K'Nex roller-coaster set I asked for when I was 8.

I told my family not to buy me any more homebrewing sh!t, as I already have everything I need, and anything they would buy me would be useless or redundant.

Purchased on today with the disguise it is using Christmas money. I just have to go to the bank with the money and pay my credit card. I WISH I'd have been smart enough to buy on Black Friday because it was $79 for the mk4 but either way I will hopefully have mine at home before I get back.

What color? I picked green so I can see it when I'm either brewing or BBQing.

I posted in the other Christmas thread but I landed an AHA membership, Craft Beer and Brewing subscription, a book about Alaska breweries, and picked up a few bottles from Midnight Sun and my wife and I have two growlers from there now. Oh and cash and cold weather running gear.
