The personal keg sounds nice :) What did she say when you compared the price of microbrew vs homebrew?

Thanks to y'all, I finally convinced my husband to brew his extract kit. It didn't hurt that a keg ran dry mid-brew. He admitted that the "complexity" of AG is a turn-off. /derail As to pleasing wives, if she likes to cook, I'd guess ask for her help on a simple extract brew or small PM/AG...

+5 gal Cream ale =10,767

Hey, whatever works for you, but for me it wasn't worth my health or the collateral damage.

I have active RA among other issues, so thankfully no need to pretend. Maybe I should tell him there won't be anymore beer until HE brews it. :p

So, what can ladies do to get husbands more involved/interested in brewing? Mine loves the brews that have turned out and is willing to lend muscle, but he doesn't comprehend why I need a 55lb bag of grain, more than one type of hops, or that we have to brew more beer BEFORE the kegs run dry...

19 brews in 6 months. I think 3 of those were small batches though. Good suggestion on the paper backup. I'd be PO'd if I lost my spreadsheet or BeerSmith.

Y'all are making me jealous! I'm impatiently waiting on my spring pre-order from Great Lakes :S

This. I made the mistake of taking on a "better" job w/ a 2+ hr commute (one-way) and it eventually destroyed my health. My PT said she sees a lot of stress and commuting-related stroke/cardiac patients, which is why she moved her practice to the far-flung suburbs. The work at home gig sounds...

10162 + 2.5 Gluten-free APA = 10164.5

Too funny! I just thought the same thing. At first I was going to rethink planting some at my parents' house, but then I saw this: Phew!

Thanks for posting the pictures. I was afraid we'd have to invest in a few livestock watering tubs, but the pot size is way more reasonable than I'd expected. What a cool example of urban agriculture Sadly, I'm still waiting on my Great Lakes order, talk about torture!

Do you have any pics of your setup? It looks like I'm going to have to keep mine in containers and am looking for ideas.

Welcome! Nice work on the stir plate. Same thing here. Except for Tuesday it looks like we'll have great brewing weather this week. It's hell getting caught up when your pipeline goes dry.

What's the matter, someone steal your sweetroll? :D

I hope you're comfortable that your leader is a Thalmor pawn. Check his dossier sometime, and enjoy a bottle of that Blackbriar garbage while you're at it. Silly milk drinker. :p

Star Hill Festie Beer. Gross. Smelled godawful and tasted worse...like skunky fermented rotting gym socks. Truly vile.

Derek seems excited about the possibilities -- I'd be surprised if he wasn't interested in the concept! Just trying to put it out there that you guys could make some headway on the legwork/continue to get buy-in/gauge interest now. Basically, this.

Derek seems pretty busy with opening the new location. There's enough interest now that it might be worthwhile to start an informal group and keep him in the loop for when things settle down at the new shop. Just my $0.02

Aludwig, you're a hero! Racked this to keg yesterday, and it is delicious!! We actually like it better than the original Legend Brown. For the curious, here are the substitutions (mostly my screw-ups) that were made: 8# Maris Otter 2-row (dropped the rest) 2# Briess Pale Ale 2-Row...
