I'll invite my FIL to your house. you'll run out. hahahhaha!!!Never. I can run out if beer but cannot imagine being blindsided by a lack of Scotch in the house.

I have had to shift to the Hot Bourbie a time or two... Still delicious thought!

I like to brew in the morning while I am having my coffee and am slowly easing into the day. It's peaceful, soothing, and constructive.
Now, batch tasting day is *completely* different...
I'm sure to be flamed for this, but I think I'd prefer a Bourbie over a Scotchie...
It is not bad, maybe a touch sweet for me, same with rum. i need to try some Rye next time, that might be tasty.

Clean as you go is a good one.
Clean as you go is a good one. I hate cleaning. At least if I do it while brewing maybe it won't sit for a week in a oxy soak...
Free time? What is that?
I wish I could implement a rule of "Don't bother me the last 15 minutes of the boil" but it always seems that's the time my neighbors drop by to see what I'm brewing and start asking me questions.

Brew early in the morning, or don't bother at all. This one thing eliminates a host of problems. I like to be done and cleaning up before everyone wakes up.
Good God man, what time do you start? 3 am?
I hit the switch to start heating water at 4am. By 8am I've pitched yeast and beginning the cleanup (unless I am doing a double batch).
I brew outdoors under a covered patio. I turn on Turner Classic Movies and catch two oldies during my brew session. It's a very relaxing morning, and typically runs like clockwork.
