MySWMBO justed called me at work to let me know that she is brewing today and asked where my hydrometer is kept...i feel like my worlds are coliding...
Wow- I don't know whether to say "congrats" or "uh-oh". I'd be shocked if Bob asked me where my hydrometers or refractometers are, but he is getting more and more into winemaking. Maybe one of these days he'll ask me, but I doubt it!
I personally would LOVE coming home from work with the smell of brewing throughout the apartment. I would send him the URL for the exact step by step guide from How to Brew. Just in case.
Then again, there is no way that would ever happen in my house. The most he usually wants to help is to throw in a few hop additions. Even then he doesn't stay around enough to do all 3-4 within a 60 minute boil.
Learn it!
Practice it!
Say it like your life depends on it!
Just kidding.
I think this is cool. My wife has taken an interest and always helps when I brew. I don't think she would brew on her own. That said, if I don't get busy and make the gluten-free beer I've promised her, I wouldn't put it past her to give it a try.
