Tell her you can make better beer for 1/2 the cost and it's not so messy.
convince her with the sex.
If you're getting eye-rolls and stinkeyes when the subject comes up, it seems to me you lost the initiative early. :smack:
I'm fortunate that my wife is downright excited about my brewing; it probably helped that when we met I had been brewing for years, and she knew that beer came along if she wanted me around.
If she sees your brewing as frivolous or stupid, or maybe just a PITA for her, or something you're likely to "get over" quickly, then gently disabusing her of that idea might help her understand. If her concerns are budgetary, and she has a point, then obviously that needs addressing, too. Maybe she's so tied up by kids and other things that she's jealous of you getting a hobby when she doesn't feel like she's got any time for herself. Best to talk that out.
If she's just being a pain, and trying to control you or keep you down, destitute and domesticated (been there, done that, had the divorce, found a better model), then Revvy's "locate your testicles" advice comes most fully into play. :rockin:

How bout the fact that you have testicles, and don't need to convince anyone or ask permission.QUOTE]

My mantra - its easier to beg for forgiveness then ask for permission
But that said, I have great news A bargain has been struck. It will take a until May but thanks in part to this thread and this community I am now well on my way to a guilt-free AG setup. :rockin: Now to spend the next two months planning and perusing the DIY section!
