Grandmaster Brewer
I thought a less serious and fun thread would be nice. My wife asked me to put together a Christmas list, since she knows nothing about brewing. She asked for specifics about websites, the homebrew supply store, etc., so that she gets me what I want and need.
She's a good woman. I'm very lucky.
My list includes the books, "Hops", "Water" and "Brewing Classic Styles". I also am hoping for a refractometer and another 8 gallon bucket fermentor. I'd really like about a 20 gallon boil pot, but that is a little premature. I have the ability to mash up to 20 gallons, but I'm still concentrating on 5 gallon batch sizes, so my 13 gallon boil pot will suffice for now.
Eventually I want to have a Keezer, but that is way out of the Christmas list price range. I'm currently working on designing a 6 keg chest freezer conversion. My wish list also includes a fermentation chamber, but that isn't something she'd be able to get for me.
What's on your list and why do you want it. Is it just more of what you already have, such as fermentors? Or is it upgrades that will make brew days better? Keg supplies?
Let's have some fun with this one.
