I scored a copy of Randy Moshers Radical Brewing, Jamil's Yeast book and a $100 beer fund donation from the bro-in-law who i always give a six pack of every brew to.

Wife got me a session with a specialist dog photographer for my two wolves (whippet & maltese/poodle).... Whippet uses the small guy as rabbit substitute in the park until he gets his ass kicked by the little guy - whippets are ******.

My son got me a cup with the brewery logo on it. Pretty cool for an 8 month old.
 
I'm in charge of the budget so it is christmas when ever Drew feels like here, within reason. <_< I bought a new BBQ just a week ago so that was my prezzy to myself, $100 from Mum towards a new freezer (No honest Love I wont put hops in it HAHA) and $50 from the mother in law to the big green shed. I also like wood working so it will come in handy.

i got a new mash paddle, used it today aswell, pitched yeast half hour ago.
im guessing id probably be one of the only ones brewing ag today...
 
Got a good range of craft and import beers from a few people. a load of them I haven't tried so I'm pretty happy.
and the missus bought me a keg setup but I opened that a while ago. yet to fill a keg though so I guess I haven't used it even though its set up already.
hope everyone had an enjoyable day
 
nearly forgot i got a brand new green brewing bucket i bought for myself works great too put it to works straight away just to make sure it was ok and didnt have to take it back as i kept the receit just in case
 
31 ltr Pot and a Thermometer to start making some sweet BIAB beers on my way to AG set up in the future =) Pretty thin Pot but I would say by the time I go full AG I will have a new one anyways. This is just to pick up the methods and get underway.
 
I scored a brand new Blichman mash tun (57L) so now I can do double batches effectively!!!!!

Also got a couple of sacks of grain, you reckon my family know that I am brewing mad?
 
I got crystal pilsner glasses etched with my brewery name (if I had one)

Beer tastes so much better from crystal glasses
 
Navman, an Air shark (look it up it's mad, the cat aint gunna like it) and a digital thermometer, amd also how to brew 3rd addition.. A good haul methinks, oh amd will be getting some power tools from myself..

Comes with the 4 headmaster schooner glasses, a stubbie each of XXXX Summer, Hienekin, Coopers Clear and Stones Ginger Beer.

Was also surprised to find underneath the megaswill:

I Also got a 5L keg of Hienekin and 2 Hienekin glasses from the other (darker :ph34r: ) side of the family.
