Help me, help my family... Gift ideas?

[PasbitinusBluinusRibbinus]

So, despite repeatedly insisting that I don't want or need anything for the holidays this year, my family is demanding I give them a list of things I might need for gifts. I brew w/ BIAB in a keggle, over a propane burner. I have a 5 tap keezer and fermentation fridge that both work beautifully.

What the hell do I tell them to get me if I'm happy with my system?!

you could always use grain/hops, right?

More carboys? Auto siphon? Thermapen? Nice bourbon for that next bourbon infused batch?

 

[yeahfairly]

How about these????

 

[dryboroughbrewing]

ph meter?

 

[soccerdad]

half a dozen hydrometers

a refractometer?

gift cert to LHBS?

 

[Hello]

I say a gift certificate to your LHBS. Do you have a grain mill?

 

[bobeer]

I'd say maybe a mash tun but if you're happy with your system/process I'd go with a lhbs gift card. Could always use some free ingredients!

Three best ways to improve your beer, if you don't do them:

1) Temp Control
2) Pre-fermentation Aeration/Oxygenation
3) Proper pitch rates (stir plate, etc.)

And the best, most useful gadget I own:

SS Carbonator Cap

Basic brewing supplies like Starsan, DME for yeast starters, magazine subscriptions, etc.

 

[RmikeVT]

Sacks of grain
1lb of all purpose bittering hops (magnum, warrior, etc)

Can't go wrong with a gift card to LHBS. It doesn't spoil and this time of year some (Midwest and Northern for example) have frequent sales where you can, for example, buy a $100 card and get an extra $25 on it.
