I picked "Priming" because this is where I always seem to fail. I've had too many inconsistant carbonations. Some are volcanoes, some are 5 year old girls.

after one round, I would say Bottling... not the most time consuming, but definitely the biggest pain in the ass, imo

Maybe I'm just too new to beer brewing but the wait is hell. I started my Scottish export over 6 weeks ago and it's just now getting ready to drink.

I see others complaining about hating bottling, hating siphoning, hating their equipment, hating the hellish brewing secessions......

Damn, why do you homebrew if you hate it so much?

I still enjoy it except for the waiting.

I have to say the waiting, closely followed by sanitation, I don't mind sanitizing I just worry that I haven't done a good enough job.

I voted for bottling - more of a nuisance than "hard," but I find it tedious.

The only reason I don't say bottling is I went straight to kegging. I doubt I would still be brewing if I was forced to hassle with bottles. Sometimes I'll bottle to share, but generally I'll take a growler or blow part of a keg to another keg for a meeting.

Bottling is probably the most PITA part, but I put down "Waiting" as the hardest. Bottling may be a pain, but waiting requires the most will-power

I like everything else, but bottling is a bit tedious. I need to find a better method.

I don't mind waiting. I don't get into the waiting thing. I've got 3 batches I'm drinking at the time and two aging - so the waiting game isn't that hard.
