What did you get delivered today

[BarbarianBrewer]

My stepson bought me a FastRack washer for Christmas a few years ago. 24 bottles at once. Very quick job getting 72 bottles ready for a 5 gallon batch. I rinse all my bottles after emptying them and that makes prepping them for bottling a lot easier. I store them upside down so they’re dry, so a quick spritz with PB and a little brush, then a rinse with StarSan. Haven’t lost a bottle yet. The best part is having 2 racks. While one is drying, another is rinsing. I invert a box on the rack and Bob’s yer uncle, ready to fill. I did have a little issue with the wash station though. The male threaded nipple on the stations broke off both of them while in storage. I took them apart and threaded the holes and installed stainless elbows to replace them. There’s a LOT of screws in those things.

I bought one of those when they first came out. Hopefully they improved it since then because I could not get mine to stop leaking around the gasket between the upper and lower plates. They cautioned against overtightening the screws so I first had them on the loose end and then after each use I gradually tightened them until the plastic started cracking around the screws. I gave up on it when the part that screws into the pump broke off. The other thing I didn't like was the max water temp of 105°F. Not that I expected it to handle super hot water, but it should at least be able to handle something above bath water temp. I was able to repurpose the pump for my keg washer so that saved me some money on that project.

Yeah, the nipples broke off both of mine too. Easy fix with a tap and a little teflon tape. I put SS elbows on them which prevents the hoses from kinking so bad. I have a slightly later model, perhaps. Zero leaks, but there is a button load of screws in those buggers.

That is an awful lot of yeast for such a small amount of grain!

Label Peelers was johnny-on-the-spot in correcting the mis-shipped item on my yeast order. I originally ordered last Wednesday and received the shipment on Saturday. When I noticed the wrong yeast was shipped, I emailed and called and they found the problem and shipped a replacement immediately. I received the proper stuff, along with a label to return the mis-shipped brick, yesterday. It was a little annoying to get the wrong stuff, but they rectified the situation really quickly. No complaints.

Ordered from OBK (Ontario Beer Kegs), never ordered ingredients from them before. Quite pleased that the flaked oats, and flaked wheat came in tidy 1 pound bags!
