For brewers who bottle, the vinator is a great gift – makes sanitizing bottles quick and painless.
This is more of a list of things I want than gifts for somebody else :>)
In addition to a few of these items I also want to get the beer tasting kit from Taste Your Beer. Have you heard anything good or bad about those Brad?
No this is the first I’ve heard of Taste your Beer. Perhaps someone else has used it and has thoughts on it.
I did not realize that there were so many home brew products. The brew software is very impressive.
