I know the feeling. I had to go almost 2 months without brewing cause of low funds. Was finally able to pick it back up last weekend (gave the brother-in-law a crash course how to brew with an IPA kit, got the wort made and the yeast pitched, gave him fermentation instructions, the rest is on him, already had a number of phone calls since  ) and I'm just finishing up starters for Sunday's double header. It'll get better. I feel your pain.

I am the king of broke. And I have had expensive work on both of my vehicles. Where there is a will there is a way. Convinced the wife to let me buy the very basic AG tools and ended up with a mill for free. Using home depot buckets, 5 dolla fermenters. I haven't had a brew I didn't make in a few weeks. Could spend 20 bucks on a couple sixers or malt and hops! You will get there bud. You don't need to be rich to brew. |

SWMBO is working tomorrow which leaves me, the house, Iron Maiden and 10 gallons of Hefe to brew all alone. I think we'll all get along.
