Because the SWMBO is tired of hearing about it...

Racked my Irish stout (first brew eva!) to my secondary, washed the 1084, and brewed a Columbus/Amarillo IPA yesterday. I feel like that is a bit of work for a n00b! Thought I would tell somebody who might appreciate it instead of droning on about it to the SWMBO.

Thanks all for your tips/advice. Even if you didn't answer a question directly, you still probably answered a question I had. I think I've read durn near every thread on here! You guys rock! :rockin:

Congrats! I know how you feel. My wife sits and listens but you can tell it's going in one ear and out the other. Don't worry, we are all here for you

No worries. My wife tries to be nice and pretend she cares about my brewing stories, but she just can't seem to hide the "I don't give a crap" look on her face.

I usually start out with "I know you dont really give a crap but...." when im going to mention something about homebrewing to swmbo.

She then does a good job pretending like she does.

....AND I just got a pound of hops in the mail from farmhousebrewingsupply! Score!

For those that care (all 4oz bags): Columbus, Simcoe, Centennial, Goldings

Now taking suggestions for how to use them. I think a Columbus/Centennial/Simcoe IPA is in the cards.

Simcoe? lies!

They are gone now, but appear every now and then on farmhousebrewingsupply.com. I missed them the first time and figured that they were out for the season, but kept checking back just in case. Paid off when I saw them there on the 4th.

Congrats on the New Beer and the Hop Score

My wife doesn't even pretend to care about my brewing. I start talking and she interrupts immediately with "I don't care," and the proceeds to get pissed off if I keep talking about it. Fortunately she doesn't interfere too much with my brewing itself (as long as the bills get paid before I buy supplies).

Way to go! Evey one here goes through this, I listen when SWMBO talks Wang,Vera Bradley,DB, and don't get them started on shoes. So she is going to hear about beer, + we just come back from Wisconsin with 200+lbs of grain and couple cases of craft brew, love a good road trip.
