This weeks thought provoking abstract question: Your brewing leash.

Which of these is your Brewing Leash?

Time and money. Same as any of my projects.

Well, I am a noob!

Sky's the limit, I am slightly leashed by my checkbook. Damn you checkbook!!

From 8:00am CST to 9:00pm CST, all the above.

After 9:00pm CST None of the above. There is nothing there that represents a tired assed, middle aged man. I am hoping some of that will change soon tho'. I won;t be holding my breath.

I'd call that a C.

I voted "A". I do have a financial and spacial limit. But I can at least get the illusion of freedom from the "extension" factor. I can allow myself a ton of freedom but I will eventually have to reel myself back in to reality!

This is hard. I could brew a lot more than I do, and have more stuff than I do, I just don't want to.

HUH??? Whah????

Didja order the fugu fish with your sushi lunch today my friend? I hear if they slice a bit too much into the bad part, but not enough to kill you, you get some nice hallucinations.

That kinda sucks

Nah, its not the fugu fish. I'm just content with where I'm at, that's all. One of the things I like most about brewing is that it can be done with a minimum of equipment. I would like a kegerator, though, just for the awesomeness factor.

So, I guess my leash is G. Wide open spaces, freedom from worry, and room to grow.

Uhh, WTF is H? I can only brew if Paris Hilton says it's OK?

I was thinking that H meant buy/brew whatever you want. unless paris hilton said no.

oh, and my only limit is the depth of my pocket book.

Kind of hard to justify $1,000 worth of brew stuff, and not pay bills. Although it would be more pleasurable to brew.

I wonder if my mortgage lender would take beer as payment...

I can brew when my budget allows... however my budget also has to allow for a lot of other things....

Yeah, how is budget not a restriction option? Thats my only restriction.

Too abstract for me. I only use leashes for dog walks and sub training.

I like others here money is my tightest leash swmbo can care less what i do as long as i clean up my mess.

Those that said money...

Think abstractly.

Which best expresses how the leash of money affects your brewing. Is it the noose?
The retracto leash or Paris Hilton having the resources but never giving you true freedom?

wait. Is Paris Hilton oppressing me?


I knew she was a ****ing *****!

If I have the time to brew, I usually do.

I'm too drunk for this thread

I have to say G. Space or lack there of is my biggest restriction. Unusable basement (not much more than a crawl space); no garage, not even a real driveway, just 2 parking spaces; even the living area of the house conspires against me, built in 1880 there are NO closets to store anything. I keep trying to convince SWMBO to move but she likes the place.

Now wait a minute, I thought H meant you were like the little dog and your SWMBO was like her. This doesn't make sense. I thought it was the tightest leash.

I'm so confused

Right now, my only leash is the weather. It's too damn cold to brew outside ! I've got all the makings for my next batch, and was planning on a New Year's Day brew, but it hasn't been above freezing, on a day that I wasn't working, for weeks !
Other that that, it's usually not too hard to scrape together the $$ for the materials for another batch.

Well, I, like others, am/was somewhat confused by the definitions behind the pics, but if G means the sky's the limit and H means I can buy what I want, when I want and how much I want regardless of price then I'm in the H catagory. :rockin:

The interpretations are more fascinating than the answers

I interpreted "D" fairly literally, meaning that I'm restricted from brewing in part because of having a wee one. Were I to be sans-family, I'd have a lot more time to actually make beer once in a while.

Aw man, I said screw it and randomly chose one :rockin:

I have the same issue with general space...but I have one single closet that is dedicated to the brew. My fermenting carboy is in there and all of the gear and ingredients, too. I constantly have to rearrange it every single time I brew because I have my fermenter in a swamp-cooler/aquarium-heater set up that gets taken down when its time to bottle and I no longer need it. It is tiny, I mean reeeeeeealy tiny...but BY GOD I'm brewing!

I commited myself to not letting lack of space be what holds me back. Money, time, and energy are a different story...

My brewing leash is somewhere lost in the fight club. I think.
