I like beer - better yet I like brewing beer. Yes all kinds of beer; dark beer, IPAs, ambers, sours and even barley wines.
But I have a problem with waiting the 3 weeks in the bottle before I can drink it. Yes, I can get a keg setup but I really like it in a bottle for some reason (perhaps because I can better monitor my consumption). I find myself sneaking into my stash early in the morning (trying to be sneaky and add the element of surprise) and stealing one and putting it into the fridge (way before it's matured). After I do this I feel ashamed - like I kidnapped a brother from a large family and now the remaining brothers are missing their kidnapped brother and for what? just so I can partake of a young beer? I justify this by telling myself that 'it's only one, there are plenty more where that came from'...
I know I have a problem - I guess that's the first step in confronting my issue, to realize I do have a problem...
I'm reaching out to you out here for help, does anyone else have this problem? Is there some advise that you can give me? Is there a 12 step program that I can do? Please help, I like beer and I want it to like me...
Thank you for your time - and understanding...
Have fun with this - brew on...
