My wife does not drink beer. My wife does not care for the process of me brewing beer - she contends that it makes the house smell nasty (yeah, there is a turkey fryer in my future).
However, she has been supportive, has bought me some nice craft brews several times.
I had been complaining to her about my last brewday; I don't have any temperature control, and had let my batch get too hot for close to a day before I got it down via ice packs. I had stated that I needed to wait to brew again until I at least had a tub that I could fill with cold water and immerse my carboy in.
So yesterday, she sends me a PDF - which happens to be the full fourteen page document containing plans and instructions for building the Son of a Fermentation Chiller. She let me know that it's not that much in materials and that she's certain I won't have any problem building it.
Yeah, I was familiar that this plan existed, but I hadn't actually looked at it in great detail.
I just thought that was cool on her part; she actually did some independent homework on the issue and sent me an excellent solution. It made me feel good.
