I'm horrible, I will not even brew a beer unless I have a name and label done for it. Sometimes the name absolutely sucks, but I have hit some homeruns with names that I just love!
The best compliment I have received is having offer to pay shipping every couple of months so they can have my latest batches.
Or perhaps,
when my 7 year old smells my latest homebrew in the glass and tells me I did a good job.
My goal is to make a tasty beer in the 2.0~3.0 ABV range. I love my beers in the 5-9% range, but when I have my son every other week, I still want to drink, but would prefer something with less of a hit. My first go was not bad, but lacked something. Batch two will happen soon in the 2.5 range.
