Well said! I found this thread after thinking I might be going crazy. I am actually starting to not like drinking. Perhaps its from working the night shift and never being able to make my schedule match with my fellow home brewers / friends. AKA, Im always drinking alone.
(Slightly )Not to get too droney here, but I stopped drinking 3 months ago because SWMBO stopped drinking (Trying for our first). I was supporting her and clarifying my own body at the same time. I have just been brewing 5 gallon batches and giving them to my friends (kegs). I started letting up a little bit, maybe 1-2 a week, I feel groggy and generally crappy soon after. Maybe its a tolerance thing.
Point being, I have evolved to where I love to brew more than ever, but find myself spitting my Hydrometer tasters out during racking and kegging (like I'm wine tasting or something)LOL. Am I crazy?
I'd quit the hobby if I didn't drink. That's way too much time and money invested for something that I don't even get to consume. Drinking kicks ass.
