MrFeltimo · Feb 28, 2014

Last night my wife went to empty the dishwasher, to her anoyence she found 70+ bottles in there, awaiting cleaning.
Wife, "Gosh darn it Dan get rid of all these bottles will you"
Me, "But,but,but, i cant"
Wife, "Thats it ive had enough of your bottles, this weekend your going out and buying a load of kegs"
Me, "Oh ok"

HAHAHA, my plan worked, I love my wife.

Mine just yells at me that I have enough bottles (300 or so cleaned and delabeled) and wonders why I keep saving more. I'm going to end up on hoarders

I think I have over 300 bottles full and 5 fermenters with beer in them yet to bottle. Fortunately the fermenters only have 2 1/2 gallons each but that still adds up to another 100 or so bottles.

Great story! Little does she know the onslaught of other stuff to come with kegs

"Look at all these bottles. Why do you keep them if you use kegs?"
"I want to send some to friends when I stop being lazy."
"Why do you have that one? I've never seen you use it."
"I just keep it because it's a cool looking Rogue bottle and the whole thing is red. That one too...it's pink."
"What about those?"
"Those are from Trappist Monks...I just don't have the heart to throw them away and I don't wanna go to hell."
"...and those? Those are just Dogfish Head. You can get those whenever you want!"
"These are from when we visited the brewery, remember? They're my souvenirs."
"How about those big ones, you can't even put bottle caps on those..."
"I really want to get a corker some day."
"What about all those plain looking ones?"
"I want to enter a competition and they say the bottles have to be plain."

...it just keeps going...
