How To Buy A Vacuum Sealer: A Guide

[bradsbrew]

Buy it, hide it, bring it out after a bit. If she asks where it come from, just say I bought it months ago and you didn,t miss the money then, so why worry now.

Cheers

I have tried this approach. It makes her stabby.

You've just got to do all the **** in batches.

Don't buy a vac sealer this week, otherwise = stabby girl
Then but a mill next week = stabby girl
Buy a year supply of hops following week = stabby girl
etc...

Buy it all in 1 week = stabby girl
then next few weeks all good

Haha, will have to try this! I like the idea of a concentrated period of stabbiness followed by tranquility (mild stabbiness).

Obviously I have it to good, She never really asks what I buy, as long as its got nothing to do with annoying her.

I've only been married 6 months, so this may change

Although she knows Im a tight-arse so that may help.

I need a vacuum sealer, for beer related ventures, and camping also, what ones are we all buying.

First you receive a KnK kit for a gift from someone who knows you like beer. Then it's not enough so you talk to the bloke at the LHBS, who introduces you hops, and you add some to the KnK. Then you buy DME instead of sugar and brew with that. Then upgrade from bottles to kegs. Then Perlick flow-controlled taps. Then you start an extract brew. It's still missing something, so you steep specialty grains. Then you decide to go all out and BIAB. Then you obtain CUB kegs, and build a small-scale brewery. But gravity is a bitch so you buy a March pump or three. But it's still not pretty enough so a stainless brew stand is ordered. And you want to automate the process a bit so you buy a PID, HERMS kit, solenoid ball valves and enough stainless tube to make a mega bong. Then it might be smart to bottle some beer for portability, so it's off to the LHBS (who now know you buy name and beer preference) and you buy a Blichman Beer Gun.

Love it

And then its time to upgrade the brewery to double/triple batches

Mines more like this :

Me : buys vacuum sealer on line
Vac sealer turns up
Her : "Whats that?"
Me "Vac sealer for my hops"
Her : "Oh ok"

Man up *******.

Me: hey, you know that FoodSaver you have?
SWMBO: yeah, I was given it years ago...
Me: you know you can use those for sealing hops too...

And now we use it a lot now, freezing meats, bacon and sausage packs, home grown veges, sealing hops... and even sealing spec grains.

So much so, that I bought a 7 roll pack off ebay
