lets put it this way....

theres a thin line between loving a hobby, and being crazy about an obsession

I figure in the event of a major world catastrophy, i'm gonna be a lot more popular than the guy who collects stamps down the street

I can't quit. I've brewed 4 of the last 4 weekends and I've got one planned for next. Is there an organization that can help?

I Love Brewing!!!

The drinking is pretty nice too.

i've already been told i border on the "obsessed"...i have 16 gallons of stuff fermenting in my closet as i write this (5 gal apfelwein, 5 gal bock, 2 bottled cases of honey hefeweizen, and a 1 gallon experimental blueberry hard cider...).

people who overhear me talk about this stuff and then find out i started learning about it a few months ago tend to be the ones who label me as "obsessed"...the ones who drink my brew don't question it and just reap the benefits.

10 Gallons going right now: Weizen and Porter.

I have two more batch planned for the next: A Pale and a Pumkpin Ale

With the Apfelwein I have planned that's 25 Gallons of drink... What can I say, I enjoy the hobby as well.

Cheers everyone!

Most of us are obsessed and proud of it. I personally have roughly 18 cases of 11 differents brews in bottles that's all ready to drink, 1 in secondary, 1 in primary, another one planned for sometime this week, with 1 apfelwine going and the ingredients ready for another apfelwine.

I make it faster than I can drink it. I guess that there are worse problems in life to have...

Does the fact that when I'm not brewing, I'm writing beer recipes or hanging out here reading about beer mean I have a hobby or an obsession? I think I might have crossed that fine line.....

 

[gonzoflick]

16 Gallons fermenting now and planning more... This is the first time that I have continually brewed each weekend for a month straight (something I planned on doing a while ago) and I want to brew MORE often now..... I caught myself today in a staff meeting pondering beer recipes when I should have been paying attention.. oh well, it has begun.

20 gallons fermenting and about 280 bottles (see my sig) ready for drinking.
and this from a guy who only used to buy a 6 pack of microbrews for the weekend and didn't touch a drop during the week.
only started brewing in dec/05....

wait, there is a line? I was told there wasn't a line, or maybe it was a squiggle, hell if I know. I don't think I'm there....but is it bad when I come home to see my starter and completely ignore the dog?
