prenups are your best friend. one time when the law ACTUALLY works.

So I decided yesterday to brew two batches (a Wit and a hefeweizen). My girlfriend just recently moved in with me and has helped to brew one batch previously (not including the two we did yesterday). So yesterday we were starting to brew and she said that anything I needed cleaned to just give her and she would do it. She ACTUALLY said that cleaning was her favorite part of brewing and that she would be responsible for everything cleaning in future brews! Damn i'm a lucky guy!

You are a lucky man. Actually, my fiancee has been very understanding about the space I keep taking up between brewing equipment and the 4 corney kegerator. But she gets out of dodge on brew day. "Hey, it's your hobby, not mine."

The real test is if she's into Edmund Fitzgerald...

Mmmmmmmm.... I used to work about 5 minutes from GLBC and a good friend used to work for them. Good times. Worked out especially nice when a keg of Nosferatu or Dortmunder would find its way to the trunk of the car for a party, err "beer tasting..." :rockin:

I've been married for 18 years. For my birthday last year I got 3 books on brewing. I asked for 1 and she got 2 more that Amazon recommended. She supports my habit, and rarely complains that I spend too much time thinking about it and/or doing it. She's even offered to help sometimes.

Recently she even caved in and asked me to show her how to play World of Warcraft, though she calls it a "weekend game". Know that she doesn't play video games at all. This is her first real video games (Bejeweled Blitz doesn't count)

She doesn't like beer, but might like me to make some hard cherry cider.

The gf has been supportive of my hobby from the beginning. She's the one that actually put the original money into my equipment and even now that I am amassing a huge stockpile of bottles the only thing she says is "Promise me you'll stop at 60 cases."

"only thing she says is "Promise me you'll stop at 60 cases"

Is that a year?

In bottles to have on hand at all times.

 

[Monty420th]

2 cases per batch of 5 gallons (roughly)

around 30 batches...if you have that much beer in your house at one time I might ask you to marry me!!!

I like variety at all times so I almost have to do it this way to keep myself happy. I do need to clean up the spare room to keep all of these but I'll get there. Also, I just checked my sig and I'm almost halfway there now.

My wyfe of 16 years helps me brew. She doesn't drink and when asked to taste a sample her response is "tastes like beer", but she willingly helps in all phases of the brewing process. I think I have a keeper.
