I can't believe there isn't a Domestic Tranquility/SWMBO sticky thread

It's surprisingly simple. If you bottle like me, you need a sanitary work environment. That's probably the kitchen.

Dishes done, sink sparkling, counter so clean you could do surgery on it.... all makes for a happy SWMBO.


I'm really fortunate, in so far that while she only has passing interest in brewing her own stuff, she loves the smell of boiling wort.

My wife hates the smell of boiling wort. So this naturally led me to buy equipment to brew outside. She was happy I wasn't inside anymore. Win-win, so far.

My wife is very supportive of my brewing. She bought me the equipment kit to get started, and is Christmas she bought me a nice new mash tun with a false bottom. I sometime balk about spending money for kore brew stuf, but she often says, " just go buy it"

I am pretty lucky that she has put up with my obsession.

Funny you should mention this, but my wife encouraged me to go outdoor as well, namely for the larger pot for all grain brews, which lets me make more of her favorite beers
