The girlfriend got me a hop randall... can't wait to use it, already have so many different ideas. My brother also got me a Russian Imperial Stout kit from Brewstock, plus a pre-paid year-long membership to the American Homebrewers Association. Pretty cool.

No actual beer this Christmas, but that's more than okay. I'm pretty well stocked up.

Just read up on it. Sounds really cool.



I got a 4.6 cf mini-fridge, which I intend on turning into a cellar. Going to get an temperature controller for it and probably a humidifier.

Got a $70 gift card to Calandro's and $25 gift card to Whole Foods. Also, got a holiday ale gift pack from Ridgeway Brewing.

Your girlfriend bought you a Randall? You'd better marry that one PDQ!

Mr. Beer kit from my brother in law. Anyone get started home brewing with one of these? I know they aren't highly regarded in home brewing circles, but it was free, and I figure I gotta walk before I can run.

I don't have the time, space, or knowledge base yet to start brewing, but I'm doing pretty good on the beer front.

So Far:

2 bottles Dogfish Head 120 minute
4pk Dogfish Head 90 minute
1 bomber Rogness IPA
6pk Deschutes Obsidian Stout
4pk Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout
6pk Austin Beerworks Fire Eagle American IPA

... Some of those were gifts from my family, and others were gifts to myself. I plan on making another run to Spec's before I leave Austin. That should give them a chance to restock on a few things I had my eye on
