Lack of help with any of it except drinking it. My friends and family are good at that. And give me my bottles back dammit.
That's it man, that's the number one thing for me all the way. All my friends love drinking the homebrew, but none of them want to contribute in any way whatsoever. Don't want to pitch on grains, don't want to clean bottles, don't even want to clean the counter in the kitchen after I'm done even though I just spent 2 hours cleaning everything else. I even had a roommate beg me to brew with him last friday so I agreed. What actually happened was that I bought all the grains and hops, then milled it all up. He helped me mash in, and then invited 10 other people over and ended up playing beer pong while I brewed by myself in the garage. Around midnight when I finished brewing he even had the audacity (while completely hammered) to say "Nate, where have you been all night man?"
"In the garage, brewing beer that you absolutely will not be allowed to drink."
I'm usually very down with sharing my beer, but that one pissed me off, and it is now my private reserve batch.
