For those of you who have been doing this for many many years, is there ever an end? When are enough taps enough in your house? When is your capacity enough?
Gear Acquisition syndrome is real!

When you die.
So anyone move up to a 1 BBL System at home yet?
As a guitarist I understand this question. As a brewer, I do not.
My brewing evolution has been a gradual downsizing and refinement from a 3 tier propane setup brewing 5+ gallons (the standard that everyone tells you to buy), to a small and efficient electric rig brewing half that volume.
Definitely loved going from bottling to a six tap kegerator, though. That's here to stay. But I fill it with 2.5 and 3 gallon kegs now instead of 5'ers that take forever to empty in my house.
My brew day is down to 3 hours with prep the night before, and I can nail predicted efficiency within 2 percentage points. I want that predictability and familiarity so I can brew the BEST beer on my more than adequate system. It doesn't look as rad as some people's banks of gleaming stainless steel and LEDs, but I don't think those things are the top priority.
I can think of lots of ingredients to buy and styles/recipes to brew, though. Keep those comin'. But I'm good with my gear unless some magical "must have" gadget comes along.

Our recording studio is fighting for space against fermentation. I constantly have to address the needs and wants so that one doesn't overtake the other. I too am downsizing in ways in both areas.
Both are fighting for the artist inside me though haha
