Good day.

[Orfy]

I pay £25 for 50lbs of grain.
I found a contact today who can get me it £10 for 50lbs from a brewery.

I also for a return flight to Africa for £124 and a room at £8 a night.

Plus I booked for Venice again over Christmas. (I thought I best take SWMBO this time)

Africa? Venice? What a rube! I'm going to Oklahoma for the holidays baby!

Sounds like a good deal on the grain, too. What is that in USD, like $85 or so? J/K, man, nice score!

O.K. I've got to ask. Orfy, what do you do for a living? Are you independently wealthy? How are you able to get off work to take so many holidays a year?

I'd swap you Florence or Venice for Oklahoma
The grain works out at around $17 for 50lbs or about $3.50 per batch.

Haha, If I was independantly wealthy do you think I'd be building an all grain system from scrap bits for £68!

I'm lucky at the moment (sort of) I have plenty of spare time.

I'm in a very stressful job and can work hard and earn a very good wage.
But I decided that I didn't want a nervous break down or heart attack so I've turned the burners down for a few months (and earn an lower wage but am only working at 30% capacity).

I can't do it for too much longer so I'm taking advantage why I can.

It takes a wise man to make that choice, and a good wife to let him do it...salut!

 

[BlightyBrewer]

Too true. Stressful careers aren't worth it IMHO...life is too short, means to an ends (blah, blah, blah and so on). Gotta have the quality time for brewing!
