I just pulled a bottle of blonde ale out of the fridge to have another test of the 1st batch of beer that Ive tried brewing. It had been chilling for 36 hours and conditioned in the bottle for just over 3 and ½ weeks.
I poured it into an ice cold glass, saw lots of beautiful carbonation, a nice head, and then I just pretty much stood there staring at it for the next few minutes with a goofy grin on my face. When the trance finally broke and I began drinking down this fine tasting icy cold glass of malty goodness, it dawned on me that Damn, I made that and then it really dawned on me that DAMN I think Im developing a man crush on my home brew setup!
Do I need therapy? Or is this pretty much the norm for 1st timers when they pull off a decent batch? I guess Id be concerned about it if not for the fact that Im feeling preoccupied with all this beer that Im going to be drinking over the next week or so.
