Instead of having pictures of your wife and kids on your smart phone, you have pictures of poured glasses of your homebrew to show your friends. My wife still gives me grief over this from time to time...
I always feel like drug lord when I'm crushing up some campden tablets. It's the only time I feel like a badass.
I think it may be time for a work kegerator and have them buy you a pair of cornies. And bigger pots so you can make more beer for both of you.
So I only do 2.5 Gallon batches at the moment, and I do have people pitching money into the "brewing fund" jar my boss made me setup. He says he will get people addicted to my beer then charge $1 a bottle lol.
so HE's charging money for YOUR beer? does he wear a floor length leopard coat and drive a pink caddie?
When the root cellar has no space left for roots.....oops
... when you start thinking about Thanksgiving dinner 2 months ahead of time. No, not the food --- the kind of beer to have ready by then!

When people are disappointed you didn't bring homebrew to the event/gathering. Then you feel guilty: "If I had only planned ahead".

If you need some help with German sources I´d be happy to translate the idea of it to aid you along. Würzburger Hofbräu does some different beers, but if you help me narrow my search I can maybe throw in a few minutes of research and otherwise translate the gist of some things....When you get on a nostalgia kick & look back at Luchow's 70th anniversary cookbook. From a place that stood for fine German & Austrian cooking for 100 years...that couldn't get historic status in NYC. The American point of entry for Wurzburger beer, an amber colored nectar of the Gods I even now yearn for with an aching heart. Can't even find recipe descriptions. Wurzburger still exists in Germany, even have their own restaurant. But nothing so grand as August Luchow's 1880's grand gothic style. I must find this beer to duplicate it...then serve it with recipes out of the original 1952 edition I yet posses.

When you find other uses for your chemicals. I find my 80% lactic acid to be extremely good at removing limestone from things like my water boiler. And Oxiclean (soda cleaner here) just is beastly for everything. How did I ever live without that stuff?
Boiling my non brewing related glassware in a small pot always leaves plenty of resin cooked on the side. I use pbw to clean it and it leaves it looking brand new.
And... You're not scraping that out first?
Wasteful.

Only project or race cars go in the garage...when will they understand?
Call it a brewery, a work shop, a shed, a barn, a man cave, a whatever..... Cars park in garage's. Beer can be brewed in the work shop. Cars get worked on in a shop. Cabinets can be built in a work shop. You can keep your goat in the shop.
I solved that issue last year, 2 car garage for wife's car and daughters dance floor and a 1 car garage/hobby/brew space for me and whatever project is in progress.
Does your wife know about you and the goat? :cross:
You see yeast varieties when you look at license plates... saw 1056 today lol
