it's been said before, but show as much support for SWMBO's hobbies as you want her to show for yours. mine is in to running and triathlon, so i'm always there for her at competitions and happily dedicate the weekend to travel, cheering, massaging, hauling equipment, etc. makes my taking half a day to brew much easier to justify.
also, be sure that brewing makes you a more interesting person (passionate about the hobby, more informed, able to explain beer & beer making to others, etc), and not a less interesting person (a recluse, a drunk, etc).
well, maybe not, but this is an awesome piece of information. thanks. my SWMBO hates shower mold with a passion. she also thinks that starsan is suspect and stays far away from it ("how can something be so powerful?!? it can't be healthy!"). now i can point out how great the stuff is! mind you, i've just committed myself to cleaning the showers...
