Brewgear and beers - Xmas Gifts

[Keith]

So what did everyone get for brew gear and beer this year?

I got 3 books, Bayou Classic KB06 burner, unibroue 6 pack, wychwood bah humbug beer, and $100 towards my new brew pot (Just ordered a 40 gallon Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Kettle.)

Looking forward to my first brew day with my new gear!

I too did well. I got a desperately needed new propane tank, a handful of beers, For the Love of Hops, Mitch Steele's IPA, and an NG gift card. Next planned brew day is Sunday, so I'm glad to be stocked up.

So far I've gotten a gift certificate for Everwood, and two books, designing great beers and the home brewers companion

Can't wait to visit Dave and pick up a wide mouth fermenter

I got the same one Andrew. Also the Water book and brewing better beer.
I can't seem to put Brewing Better Beer down. It's easy reading as if he's talking to you. Definitely keeping my full attention.

Nice stuff, fellas!

We're not big Christmas people, but treated ourselves to a stash of beers from the private liquour stores a couple weeks ago. Plus our pre-ordered Malt book (from the Yeast, Hops, Water series) arrived. Oh, and we bought some perlicks from Dave recently too.

Cheers!
Keely.

I got a picture of a refractometer it didn't arrive yet, some small beakers for measuring salts and to put buffer solution in to calibrate the PH meter, a book from my sister in England called 300 beers to try before you die. And one of those pocket scales from Lee Valley for weighing salts.

My mother surprised me with a new Food Saver and my wife bought me some mixed bombers of Propeller and Garrison beers.

I got Brewing Better Beer last Christmas. The water, yeast and malt books are all on my list to get sometime.

Kids got me the home brewers companion 2nd edition. ..and eric and I picked up a beer gun last week (on the cheap).

Hope everyone enjoys their new books and toys:)

Santa gave me a break. My started mash tun from a year and a half ago remains unfinished. So I got a ready built 10 gallon OBK mash tun. A grain mill. Two brewing books. Also an American pale ale kit complete, that was made for me. (thanks Andy) Guess I was good this year. I'm told for her birthday I get to take her out to dinner and buy a brew kettle big enough to do 10 gallon batches. (good deal I think) Now onward to brewing more this year than the previous two.

Kathleen got me some sexy jeans for Christmas, but the legs weren’t long enough (it’s hard to get jeans for my long legs), so I took them back today, and I also took back some of the bamboo underwear (kept one pair, that’s all a person needs LOL). With the money I got a Moffatt 7cu freezer in the sales today, $100 off, for my lagering project. It fits 3 kegs and a CO2 tank. I’m still $100 in the hole, but the disappointment that the jeans didn’t fit was extreme. I think it’s safe to say that I might be brewing obsessed. Either that or I’m a conniving bugger.
