    Why do people Quit brewing?

    I don't know if I'll ever really quit, but i do take long breaks from it. Life just gets in the way. The biggest issue for me right now is not having a local shop. They've all closed down and shipping makes it a real kick in the pants to get stocked back up again.

    Why do all SWMBOs hate brewing and what to do about it?

    my wife only complains when i make a washed rind or blue ripened cheese. that's a smell only the cheese fiend can appreciate. aside from that, no one likes someone else's mess. if i clean up my mess, no one seems to mind a few hours of cluttered 'maker-space' on a saturday.
