I done got smarter bout voidin them revenuers tryin to claim them there Obama Healthcare taxes on my hooch... hell its non taxed grain yeast water n herbs where and who spiked it with the alcohol?!?!
Actually, the deeper I get into brewing the dumberer I feel. I consider myself to be a pretty bright individual, but I can not get a handle on water chemistry.
More annoying to drink beer with than my non-brewing friends when the topic of brewing comes up? Oh hell yes. There's a 10 minute rule, no beer talk for the the first 10 minutes of all of us getting together.
Brewing gave me a topic with what seems like infinites amount of topics to learn about, with varying levels of difficulty, that I truly enjoy reading/practicing so I put much more effort into it.
