What came in the mail for me today? Nothing ... absolutely nothing. Because FedEx has apparently switched to shipping packages in carts pulled by ponies. Old, fat, lame ponies.

Tomorrow will be 7 days late from the original delivery date (170 miles).

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.
 
2 bottling buckets. I'm going to start fermenting in these and retire the glass carboys. I got scerd after hearing all those horror stories.

22 years brewing (with 4 years off in the middle) and never had an infection. Only occasionally used a carboy or demi-john for long term aging.

The valve is your weak point. Keep it clean. Star san the crap out of it before draining the bucket. Put a condom on it if you have a spider or insect issues.

Cleaning is easy. Hot water soak. Wipe it down with cloth diaper, used t-shirt or those dustless painters rags (white). Never store anything in your fermentors but maybe that cotton rag. Everyone will say Oxyclean or PDW or whatever but it really is not required...just hot water and patience and soft cotton rag.
 
A monthly calender from American Legion; two or three random junk mail pieces; catalog from "The Glock Store"; and another junk mail advertisement. Why, what you get?

Thanks for the advice can't wait til next brew day!
 
Nice! I always look into ordering glasses then change my mind because shipping is so much. I think they were the cheapest on shipping out of all the breweries' websites I've looked at.

Exactly. $5 to ship, but it was $10 to ship two.
 
Cheapo spray nozzle from eBay, gonna work on some sort of cip system. From quick test looks like I'm gonna need to use something other than my chugger pump, it takes a good bit of pressure to get any type of real spray outta this thing.
 
Water, Malt, Hops and Yeast... The Reinheitsgebot Library. Just a little light reading. :)
 
Some silicone o-rings for my kegs. A bag of 100 ea for the posts and tubes and a bag of 5 for the lid.
 
a lot of empty boxes:
