My wife doesn't drink a drop but is very supportive of my hobby. I couldn't ask for a better woman (except for Yooper).
Things that come out of the SWMBO's mouth!

I seem to recall your SWMBO hitting my standard Hefe pretty hard 2 brew classes ago. Give her a little of the ol' Bavarian charm.
My favorite: "Just let me clean all your brewing stuff, you barely manage to do the dishes right."
Shes borderline OCD about things like that. But hey, I dont wash bottles or any other brewing stuff anymore. And me doing the dishes is just as rare

Whilst this may be true I'm sure that you do things that annoy each other and that you have arguments. This thread only shows one very small part of each persons/brewers relationship so it is hard to say that they are ***** whipped without the whole picture.
I know in my situation that my SWMBO doesn't mind the brewing so long as it doesn't stink out the house and I clean up the mess I make. This isn't ***** whipped this is consideration for each other. I enjoy keeping my SWMBO happy because I love her and I want her to be happy and because a happy SWMBO = Happy me.

I love mine a lot...she's typically saying things like "hey get me another beer", or "when are you brewing IPA again?".

That's insulting... there's alot more that goes into it than just homebrewing.

My swmbo said nothing today because I sent her to berlin for a girls weekend and I got to drink and brew.
I only had to send mine to MN....she's just happy I switched to all grain so I can stop "messing up the kitchen" and "getting in her way". It's true...and to be completely honest, the cleanup time for all-grain is much faster IMHO. While boiling and between additions, I clean out the MLT, and start to sanitize everything for transfer to the fermenter. With extract the pots and tools just kept piling up on the counter.

What do you do if you are out of chocolate?
I know. After my first batch 2 weeks ago I told her that all of my biology, chemistry, and various other classes were finally starting to pay off. It only took 24 years after graduation!
BTW, she said it jokingly and supports my new hobby completely.

Italian sausage...
Wow that sounds like me at leo's place last year
You remember me being there?!?!? I got there at like 11 AM. You were hammered and I think you might have told me you loved me.......................and then told Bob the same thing.
Seriously, that was a blast wasn't it? I had such a great time, and I know everyone else did too.

I remember getting there........then it was dark and we were sitting around a fire. Good times
Well, I think there was about 12 hours between you getting there, and the fire. But it WAS great times, that's for sure.
Bob just reminded me with the first time he met you. We pulled up at 11 AM to Leo's, and I said hello and you started yelling something like "Bob! Bob! Get the f#$@ over here!" so he came over. He liked you right away!

"When are you going to brew, the kitchen needs to be cleaned"
"Of all your hobbies, this one is beneficial to both of us."
After coming home from the bar with the girls
"What did you do to me? Bud Light tastes like $h!t now!"
at a sporting event,
"They don't have any good beer here, did you bring any homebrews with?"

Definately have heard the "When are you brewing again? The kitchen needs cleaned." Not that she doesn't clean but I am just thorough on brew day and after.
Mine said the other day: The whole house stinks like kimchee and kombucha. This is significant because everytime she says the house stinks I buy another refrigerator. I'm up to three.. But she doesn't have to worry about beer fermenting in the tub anymore.
This right here.
That and "Great, now the house is going to smell likes hops forever."

Its funny you mention that, because mine complains that I better not make a mess, but the kitchen is always cleanest 1) before I brew then 2) when Im done brewing.
Hoping the rain holds off this weekend so I can use the new burner... then I don't have to hear her yipe!

My woman has some sort of allergy to the boil vapors... If she smells hops her throat gets really scratchy and it even starts to close. lol. So needless to say, I brew when she's not home for a day.
Overall, she's highly supportive, and getting quite knowledgeable. She doesn't drink it though.

i think i may be slightly allergic to it to. my nose gets stuffy and on more than one occasion i've gotten a huge headach. and i never get headachs. it's pretty lame, but not enough to make me not wanna brew

Her: (After UPS delivers shipment) "Do you really need more brewing equipment?"
Me: "Did you really need that pair of shoes you bought yesterday?"
Argument averted. (Works with fishing equipment as well.)
A few weeks ago I was leaving for work (24 hour shift) and placed a blow off tube in the fermenter just in case (it was a big beer). The bubbles coming from the bucket were rumbling away.
Her: "What is that noise."
Me: "The beer."
Her: "Holy ****, are you serious?"
Me: "Did you really need that pair of shoes you bought yesterday?"

Just kegged big brew day porter last weekend...swmbo came home yesterday, pulled a pint, then went to change...comes out in her undies to tell me she loves the beer!! Last i knew, she hated all beers dark Haha
At semi-local brewpub...
to me: 'tastes like citra hops in this (apa)'
To bartender: 'do you know what hops are in this?'
Bt: couldn't tell you if i did...but i think its some sort of citrus hop *wink*'
To me: 'i told you...i don't like citra, let's switch...'
Gotta love her! Learning fast!
