The 6 stages of brewing

[Kaotica]

Probably not original, but I saw "The 6 Stages of Project Management" as a spoof of the Kubler-Ross 5 Stages of Grief model.

For brewing, at least for newbs like me, this model seemed to fit:

1. Enthusiasm - This is gonna be awesome!
2. Confusion - What temp am I supposed to start at??? And how much water?? When do I add the extract??
3. Denial - Whatever, it will be fine.
4. Panic - OMG! HBT help me! Brewing NOW!!! How do I....?!?!
5. Acceptance - HBT members all tell me to RDWHAHB, and I can't fix this anyway...
6. Inebriation - Dang, these home brews ain't bad.

8. House full of equpment

9. Empty wallet?

Hmmmmm. Looks like this model needs some work. Addiction and equipment hoarding are definitely part of the progression.

At what stage can we safely assume the practice of bathing ourselves in homebrew?

Wow. I'm still a newb, I didn't know it progresses that far. But I now have something to look forward to. Maybe need to consider something more like the AA 12 step program.
