I retired a year or so after I started brewing. The only thing that’s changed is that I can brew on any suitable day and I brew about every 10-14 days on average.
I’ve also had time to expand my brewery and upgrade my equipment.
- I can pretty much pick when I want to brew.
- I can control the temperature really well in the swamp cooler.
- I have lots of time to read HBT and other brewing resources.
- On the negative side, I now have a ruptured disc and had to give up all-grain brewing - my back couldn't stand the longer brew day.
