Are you lazy

...so yes, I am lazy.

Work smarter, not harder

I'm lazy. I have lots to do. I could probably get more done if I were more ambitious and planned better and all kinds of things. But I really try not to be lazy when brewing. The fact is, it's not hard, and if you prepare and clean as you go, it's easy.

I think some people just don't enjoy craft or homemade beer enough to want to put forth the effort to get good and efficient at making it. I find the process interesting.

I can be lazy at times, but I've always had the mindset of doing something right the first time rather than half-asked. I'm passionate about brewing and I want a quality product. Doing a double brew day can be fun when you care.

I am lazy but brewing isnt that labor intensive and i don't even use any pumps. Half the time i'm just sitting there waiting, while smoking a stogie. I also enjoy the process, not just the finished product.

I'm lazy.

I'm lazy. That's why I let the yeast do all the difficult work ;-)

Everyone is lazy to a certain degree, but the process is interesting, fun, and really rewarding, so it's never work..I envy the guys/gals who do this professionally, never having to really 'go to work'.

I go through stages I either go like hell or drink beer and watch TV. I found local brewery that does me a keg of red at 6.8abv for $165. I can't make it that cheap because I only do extracts. Now I just buy it.

I am,as many would put it, lazy... UNTIL I get into something.Brewing beer is a brand new endeavor which I'm enjoying to the fullest. Are the two endeavors different? I'd say, somewhat but not totally. There are parallels and a similar mindset to be sure... Some of us are DIY MINDED while others would rather simply enjoy the final product. It is what it is...


No worries,

I love to lounge, but if I had a hidden camera on me at all times, you would see I tend to stay "busy". Even on the couch with my legged propped up (recovery from knee surgery), I have my phone next to me, my Surface Tablet open either browsing or *shudder* doing work.

I think homebrewing is the perfect activity for people who like to manage processes and that (IMO) lends itself to people who like to remain busy / always keep something going in the fire.

I don't consider myself very DIY, but I like beer enough that I decided I wanted to learn more about it by brewing it. It's been quite rewarding and only getting better. I like music, but it's even more awesome to make your own. I play drums first and learned the guitar later (poorly I might add), and it's been awesome to make music that I like, that I want to hear. It is kind of a difficult process to track everything myself, which is why I haven't written anything in a few years, but I'm getting back into it. I still don't really call myself much of a DIY sorta person. I'd rather just get something completed so I can use it right away. Music and beer are different though.

Brewing isn't for everyone

 

[Dudest]

Yes

I'm a lazy bottler. I often fill my last fermenter knowing I'll have to use my brew pot as a bottling bucket when I finally have to package. I've even been known to buy new buckets just so I can leave the bottles alone for another week or two.
