Grounds for divorce....start looking for a lawyer now.
It seems the standard is SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) around here, but in your case I'm thinking I wouldn't (obey). OF COURSE you need a homebrew while making homebrew.... duh? Keep fighting the good fight!:rockin:

No beer while brewing? whats the point of that?
be a man. my wife confronted me years ago about my beer-drinking. she told me i drank more than she thought i should. i told her i was unhappy, and asked her if she wanted details about what i was unhappy about. she said no. i told her it was a good choice to say no
pretty soon she will be telling you not to drink a beer while you grill - as if that is possible
I try not to drink too much while I brew - got some stories about monumental screwups when I "over-sampled"...... but I have zero problem pouring some small sampling glasses at 9:00 am and doing a little quality control while I brew.

Thats why you need a bacon porter around.....Breakfast is served!
When I'm the one actively brewing I try to avoid drinking much. If I'm just observing at a friend's house, then things are different.

The first addition of hops to the boil is my cue to tap one. I'm usually too busy grinding grain,watching mash/sparge temps, and getting everything else ready.

I never drink when I brew, but then again, I don't drink much to begin with.
I stopped drinkin while brewing after passing out after the bittering addition. Never again.
I drink a small glass when the boil starts, and then another small glass when the wort is chilling. They are "bar" glasses- so maybe 6 ounces total.
Even totally sober, I've been burnt by scalding water on a brewday (along with other minor things that have gone wrong) so I will never drink more than a small glass when there are pumps running, flames on, etc.
After cleaning up, then I sit down and have a pint. And really enjoy it!

Me too. I much prefer to wait till the batch is pitched on & cleaned up a bit before sitting down at the comp with a few pints. My reward for getting it done right.

Eh, it takes beer to make beer.
That said, I'm with the camp I'll typically nurse one while mashing, and another after the 60 minute hops addition. Much more than that, and I start losing track of things or falling behind on tasks that need to be completed.

I brew in the morning, but usually bottle while my grains are mashing, so I always have a glass of the gravity sample while I am brewing.

The correct response is, "And you don't need another purse, pair of shoes or lipstick because you already have enough of them"
Then search Google for a good lawyer because you know this only works one way.
