New Toys and Stuff
Wife gave me the green light to order my b-day stuff and a couple other things, so soon I will have on its way:
I opted to get a 6" thermometer probe installed on the mashtun to help monitor temperature. Didn't figure I needed one on the HLT.
My wife and I are also ordering some rhizomes from Freshops this week. I think we're going to get 2 Magnum, 2 Liberty, and one Nugget. I figure that no one else in our brew club is currently cultivating those varieties, so if they do well I can share the wealth in the coming years. Besides - I hear that Kent Golding and Willamette don't necessarily do all that well in this area.
Off to Belle, WV this week to train more people on SAP... Yee haw.
- A 10 gallon GOTT cooler all-grain setup (mashtun & HLT)
- A carved 36" mash paddle
- A counter pressure bottle filler setup
- A push-button ignitor for my propane burner (sick of dragging lighters out there and singeing my knuckle hair)
