Here is my background in homebrewing: started doing research about 3 months ago (Dec '13) and didn't actually brew til 3 weeks ago. I read everything I could from extract to all grain. It consumed me. It felt amazing to learn more and more about something I originally had no knowledge about.
I felt compelled to share/suggest this amazing hobby with other beer "experts" that I would occasionally converse with at the local liquor stores. I feel th
at it is important to describe my personality. I'm very social, outgoing, I love talking to strangers.. I just love interacting with people and trying to make them think.
(on a side note, I am in school for US history and to teach high school!)
Well long story short, almost every person that I have a conversation with regarding craft beer I end up asking 'do you brew?' Sometimes I get the 'ya, i have been meaning to try it' or sometimes people respond 'i did it before but the beer was 5hitty.' Anyways, handsdown the most common response I get is that they don't have time for it. The first dozen times I heard this I didn't really know how to respond.. Now I just say 'hey I'm brewing right now and talking to you. The yeast does the work bro"...
Whatever. I think its bull**** excuse and people are lazy. I wouldn't have ever made a thread about this but almost literally everysingle person i have recommended brewing has used that excuse.
