In a pinch, bags of grain make a pretty good bed. You may need them!

No, but we sold the fridge & stove that came with the new house and was given permission to use the money to buy a march pump. It should be here by the end of the week.

Propeller IPA shirt, north American clone brews and a subscription to how to brew.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

I got a siphon starter, after the wife witnessed me getting a mouthful of bleach from a mouth siphon a couple months ago.

I also got this nice book. It's quite like the Extreme Brewing book about Dogfish Head.

Re: Get any brewing goodies for Christmas?
I got "Yeast, The Practical Guide to Beer Fermentation" by Chris White and Jamil Zainasheff. I've already read the first three chapters. There is lots of good information so far.
