It is ok to drink beer in the morning on Homebrew day..... isnt it?

That noon thing annoys me. Wifey always mentions it because her step dad always quoted it. "If you drink before noon, you are an alcoholic"

From what I heard, he would always wait until noon before getting sh!tfaced........That way he was not an alcoholic?

Beer has a totally different flavor in the morning....It's wonderful!

I always have at least a beer while brewing... I cant help it with my schedule if the only time I can brew is at 6am on a Wednesday... If the neighbors think I am a drunkard having a beer on the porch sitting in front of my mash tun while they limp away bleary eyed to work, thats their own damn problem!!!

Beer is food. Yes, I eat breakfast often.

The attitude toward alcohol in the US really pisses me off. If I want to have a beer on Saturday morning, I don't want to catch grief for it. Damn it! At least my wife is on the same page as me so I don't get anything from her.

"Wow, a beer at 1:00 in the afternoon huh?! Starting early?"

No idiot! I am just having a beer. Go back to your cool aid and cola, I am sure it is better for you.

I try to limit my daily consumption. I am split though between that limit being the number of beers it takes before i fall over, or the number of beers before I can get up again.

You're not truly drunk until your lying on the ground, clinging to a handful of grass, trying not to fall off the earth right?

....but it is saturday and just by accident it was after 12 pm when I cracked my first one
had to drive to the lhbs and pick up some grain. but now it's on, almost tripped over my shoelaces opening the last one.

That's pretty bad considering you're wearing flip flops Maybe cut back a little before the boil

Bier trinkt man nicht nur zum Fruhstuck !

+1 on that .I prefer beer over soda and most other beverages.I don't "start" drinking early and keep drinking till I fall asleep(well sometimes).I just enjoy a beer or two.If you start pounding down BMC in the morning than you may have a problem.

I try not to crack/pour the first beer until I start the boil which is usually 2.5-3 hours into the brew and by then it is usually close to noon or after.

That way I have time to have all the coffee in the early am and time for other stuff before beer.

To heck with that ! I posted earlier about the downsides of using a 4500w element in the HLT- barely enough time to crush the grain and get a homebrew before mash in.

I think my first one was around 8am on Friday-an IPA.

+100000 I no longer drink while mashing. I have loud alarms (thanks to Yuri) for all my hop additions so a beer or two during boil is just fine. More than three and there is potential to forget something like aeration or something after the boil. I am pretty business on brewday and enjoy the fruits after.
