What do you guys think it the hardest part of the job?
ScottT said: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.

Windaria said:And as for bottling... do people really use those tiny little beer bottles? I figure it won't be that bad for me only because I will be using wine bottles for what I have been making... and that way there are only 5 per gallon. But if I ever did a beer (and I do want to), I would use 1 pint bottles at the least, only to make sure that I don't have 150 little bottles to figure out per batch. That would suck.

I'm ready to go relax with a few more home brews but instead it is getting late and dark and I have to drag my equipment to the curb to hose it all down and then get to the sanitizing...
