What came in the mail for you today?

[canehdianman]

Which one did you get? I'm looking to buy one in the near future.

I got the 4400. Comes with the side hose to suck air out of foodsaver bags, which is exactly what I need for hops.

I've only had it for 3 days but it works well.

I ordered this one http://www.foodsaver.com/vacuum-sealers/the-foodsaver-vacuum-sealing-system-kit/FSFSSL2244-DMB.html

It is on sale right now for $70 with a ton of extra bags and the hose attachment. Also free shipping. Used it within two days of getting it. Would definitely recommend!

 

[pshankstar]

Thanks @canehdianman and @BigMack! I'll look into them.

I just received my BIAB for my keggle and two hop socks from @wilserbrewer today! The two extract kits I have waiting to be brewed may have to wait a little longer now. For I may just jump into making my next beer with the BIAB setup! By the way, these bags look very well made and durable! Thanks @wilserbrewer!

They are...rarely do I not have buyers remorse at least a little when I pay someone else to do something I know I can do myself. I could never have done the quality of work in my Wilser bag. Not sure what kind of overlock machine he has but that is one awesome set of stitching.

Have one showing up Monday. They look very well built.

 

[bartcal]

Well, it was yesterday, but felt like Christmas: Spike Brewing 10g kettle, Chugger SS pump, some tubing, and a pH meter.

 

[Turkeyshot]

These showed up yesterday, but one pound each of Citra, Sterling, US Magnum, Belma, Legacy, and Sonnet.

 

[slym2none]

A bigass bag of Cascade hops a guy on another site gave me. He said he went to AB's "great hops giveway" (!!!???!!!) and ended up with more whole-leaf Cascade hops than he could use, so he sent me a bag.

Not my pic, but that's the bag I was sent. It's over a pound. They smell SO awesome! I am just glad that Cascade works for just about everything, as I am going to be hard-pressed to use all those in my tiny 2.5 gallon batches this year.

After my experimental-hops pseudo-SMaSH's, looks like Cascade will be getting the next treatment!

Those are some good hops. I just brewed a IPA last week with 8oz of them in it and it tasted wonderful when I pulled a sample prior to dry hopping with some Columbus and Kohatu. Enjoy!
The hops give away was awesome! They had 55gal trash cans full of them and giant black plastic yard waste bags full of them for the giveaway. Pretty much take what you could carry out. I ended up with about 2lbs. Some people came with trash bags in hand. I'll definitely be going back next year

 

[Pantherjon]

Space heater for my ferm chamber.

 

[AkBrew907]

New BK.

This thing is amazing. Make my Bayou that it is replacing feel like a toy...

 

[HTH1975]

I got three brewing books in the mail today.

 

[jrcrilly]

Three boxes...

 

[Natdavis777]

Still waiting on my "replacement" jacket so my wife doesnt know I f*cked up the one she got me for Christmas. Very small tear in a down jacket (that has since been patched), but she would kill me if she found out given that it happened within a week and the price she paid. On a side note, you could stand in single digit weather with nothing but this jacket and sweat, so it's well worth it.

 

[1977Brewer]

Beer mail. The best kind of mail.

Thanks @banesong

2 pound dry hop? That's a lot of aroma! Lol

 

[Pantherjon]

Got 3 books for my beer adventure!

1: Beer Brewing; Tips and Tricks For Your Home Brew by Byron Kauffman - Mainly recipes from a quick glance
2: Designing Great Beers by Ray Daniels - Looks like it has a lot of technical stuff to it
3: Home Brewing - A Complete Guide On How To Brew Beer by James Houston - Will see if it is as good as Papazians books.

 

[Terek]

nice bit of beer mail as well. Thanks @SMPress

 

[BigMack]

Another round of hops. 1# each Amarillo, Simcoe, and Columbus. And 6 more #'s of assorted varieties should be arriving tomorrow.

[PeteNMA]

My new SS Brewtech 15 gallon kettle. It is a thing of beauty.

Also a NEMA enclosure for my new panel, a heat sink for the SSRs and some switches and LEDs to make it all look shiny.
