At 6am on a Sunday I’m starting my mash water while other sleep. Or, feeling very anxious when a tap is dry and I don’t have a replacement keg.
When you seriously consider calling you home-working wife from work, and have her go and check the fermenter and tell you how it looks and behaves, multiple times during the day...
Check out Atlantic Brew Supply. They should be cheaper than that!You spend $80 on brewing ingredients for a 5 gallon batch of IPA. No local brewing supply near me so all from Amazon. 2 types DME, 40L caramel malt and 3 hops. Luckily I had yeast and 1 out of 4 hop varieties on hand. Only my 3rd batch. Thermostat is on the way for my fridge fermentor.
Wow I like their "straight to the point" attitude.Check out Atlantic Brew Supply. They should be cheaper than that!
when you get a giggle, and want to say i just spent $80 on base malt to make 30-40 gallons, to a newbie! (Welcome Aboard! )You spend $80 on brewing ingredients for a 5 gallon batch of IPA.
A friend of my husband returned the bottles, but never bothered to rinse them out! Like the soup nazi, I said. “No more beer for you!”i tell everyone, if i don't get the bottle back no more beer i like to say if it comes back clean bonus points.
You hear about the blockage of the Suez Canal and wonder how much European malt or Asian stainless steel is part of the growing backlog.
When you ask some one you know, that has been known to sell certain things (we'll call them herbs) what pocket scale they would recommend for weighing grams to .01 so you can weigh out your brewing salts more accurately.

Put a collar on the door like the collar on the keezers so the kegs fit (search keezer builds).When you make the dumb, easily avoidable mistake of not measuring a brand new mini fridge before purchasing, get it home and discover that the door won't close with the 2.5 gallon keg you wanted to use sitting inside the fridge. Then, when you check to see if you can return the fridge, it turns out that it's considered a major appliance purchase and not eligable for return or refund. So, you spend the next several days scouring the DIY section here on HBT for ideas, because you're too stubborn to let your dumb luck keep you down for long but too broke at the moment to just go buy a bigger fridge.

Here's a great thread for that. I followed this when I built my fermentation chamber, and it turned out great!I was already thinking along that line.

How about when a co-worker returns a dirty growler? Nope, not even a rinse or so it seems...
