Sitting at the airport in Ft. Lauderdale and my wife texts me that a big box was delivered at 9:30! It wasn't supposed to arrive until the 3rd!

Get home and brew!

Opened it up last night and the shipping box was huge and filled with styrofoam peanuts. Looks like it is already mostly assembled. Will have to look it over closer today.

Brewing with the Grainfather today with a couple new things.  The sent me a Graincoat neoprene jacket that goes around it to hold the heat better.  And JaDeD sent me a custom Hydra chiller, a bit smaller than normal, to check out with it.

I was.  While it is not something I am looking to buy I like to see pictures of these new-fangled crazy contraptions.  Hold on, I need to push some buttons and reset my temps

About a month or so ago.  They've come out with a new controller since then that's Bluetooth enabled, but I don't know if it's standard or optional.  I should have one of those pretty soon it looks like.

[Deerslyr]

Does not have a new controller, but I'm fine with that.

Will take pics at some point, but it looks like you see in the website and videos. Planning on doing the Cream Ale this Friday night. May try to get some video in and if i do will post it.

Talked to my dad about what kind of beer he wants when they come for Christmas and he surprised me with IPA. Hope I can get one done in time.

[HVB]

18 days or less for the IPA so if you can brew early December you should be golden.

[Deerslyr]

Yup... In the middle of a mash. Awkward... Not sure what to do with my time.
