Beer & Brewing Presents

Post by berryman »

What's some the Beer and Brewing Christmas presents you guys got this year?
My Daughter came down while I was brewing the other day, I use a clip on candy thermometer, she says how can you even see that Dad and I said it isn't easy. I got a Brewcraft 12' dial thermometer from her today. This will make my brewing easier.

We don't do presents till after lunch since the kids are long gone. I do know what I am getting already though, no brewing items. I'm getting a nice telephoto lens for my camera. :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
Plus I kinda bought my own monday, a nice stratocaster. :D :D

Great Tee shirt Phil.

I received a cool Tee shirt from one of our fellow Borg members. Who can name the Home Brewer?

Thank You very much ...... it was liked by all who have seen it the last two days.
