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:
- 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)
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.
Cheers, Scott
