I moved to a new house in August of 2015. Leading up to the move, I hadn't brewed in about a month, so I can say that I've now gone almost 7 months without brewing. In fact, my brewery isn't even set up at my new house. I haven't posted, or really even browsed, on these forums in about as long as well.
The most ridiculous part is that my new house is far better set up for brewing, and my brewery will occupy an area almost three times the size of my last one... I just need to get it set up and get to brewing! My work schedule has been brutal, and my free time has been spent doing things around the house, and getting my last house ready to sell. I need to prioritize!
And over this last half year, I've come to realize that craft beer is expensive! It had been a couple years since I had last bought commercial beer outside of a brewery or restaurant, since I nearly exclusively drank what I brewed. I started doing some math, and very quickly came to the conclusion that my brewery has paid for itself many times over by now.
I have next weekend mostly off, and my kids will be gone that weekend, so I need to motivate myself to get my brewery back up and running. Hopefully by posting here, I'll feel obligated to do so!
Anyone else ever get into a homebrew slump?
