So, my birthday is in like 3 weeks and my wife went all out for me. She TOLD me that I needed to stop being such a wussy and upgrade to AG from partial. She then bought me all of the necessary equipment. Well, I bought it, but she gave me the OK.
Then, the next night she comes home with a brand new kegerator and insists that I upgrade to kegging.
I tell her that I need at least 4 cornies and all of the lines and connectors and she says "Go for it".
Am I lucky or what?
 
I thought mine was pretty cool when she caught me browsing through grain mills online last month and her first reaction was, "I was wondering when you were going to get one of those...." Needless to say I had a mill within the week:D
 
My wife also got me my first brewing kit....for Valentine's Day. And that was one of the best presents ever. Yesterday, she comes home with the 50" Panasonic Plasma I had been drooling over during the weekend. She walks in the door and says that she got me something for football season, I just have to carry it in from the truck. I don't know how she puts up with me in the first place. And STILL she buys me cool gifts. :mug:
 
Kegerator - Father's Day
Barley Crusher - Christmas
14.5 gallon Conical - Birthday
Bosch Table saw to help build brewhaus - Father's day.

Mine can cook, install a ceiling fan, is a great mother, and loves my beer..

I am a lucky man!
 
Dude, check your credit card statements! She bought something for herself and now she's feeling guilty! :D

Seriously though, she does sound awesome! Mine's pretty awesome too, she helped me find a fridge for the kegerator, listens to brewing podcasts with me and after hearing one about temperature control, told me I needed to do something about controlling my fermentation temperatures.

Oh, and +1 on the pictures! :mug:

you're just showing off now Ed.
 
Man, I gotta get a wife! All HWMO does is drink the beer and suggest what to make next. I need to find one of these grain mill/kegerator/brew house-giving women and start batting for the other team!

They'd all be in trouble if the female brewers got together...

We could sell tickets!

Mine puts up with me and my brewing, that is enough...
though she did "get" me a keg for my birthday for converting to a brew kettle.
between that, and some birthday money from my parents, I am just about ready for my conversion to AG

As to why I quoted the above, she does not listen to the brewcasts with me, she is usually in another room reading, and yet, when I started listening to one recently, she yells from the other room "You have already listened to that one", which I already knew, but I was very surprised to see that she does pay at least some attention to them as they are playing...
