After countless hours of brewing, fermenting, bottling, and conditioning a fabulous homebrew, the wife usually says, "Tastes like beer".
That's it.

"I think you screwed up your wheat beer, it tastes like bubblegum's nutsack"
SWMBO says that boiling extract, "smells like a bladder infection" and that my all grain mash "smells like breakfast"
My favorite:
After hitting the kegerator pretty hard for about an hour or two: "I'm kind of toasted. But I looked at my watch at it's only 6:30. I can't stop drinking yet!"
Two hours later: "I'm trashed! Why didn't you stop me?!?!"
30 minutes after that: "Zzzzzzzzzzzz."
55 pound bag of Maris Otter sitting on the kitchen table, "Is this sack going to be dropped from an airplane to feed the hungry, or are you going to move it."
SWMBO: how many have you had tonight?
Me: umm only a few (like 7 20oz)
SWMBO: its hard to tell how many you drink now since all your beer is in kegs. I can't count the bottles on the counter anymore
Xcorpia said:You guys crack me up. My SWMBO doesn't say a word about my brewing. She just silently give me the dreaded evil-eyed look.
I have it made my SWMBO is my brew partner ! She also forced me (very little arm twisting) to buy a second refer and and a total of six taps to our first one.
her: "I thought doing this was going to SAVE us money?"
me: "I thought you SAVED money at Macy's last week?"
Her: "I did. I saved almost $200"
me: "You didn't SAVE crap... You SPENT 300 bucks! If you saved money, so did I."
Her: "You're sleeping on the couch".
me: "I know."
You should tell her that if that's the worst thing you do after she passes out, she should be grateful. :rockin:
I am observing an inordinate number of *****-whipped brewers on this forum. Loosing respect for ya'll. I'm not saying to *****-slap anyone or anything.. but come on, it's your house too.

beerloaf said:The people on here who call others whipped or whatever need to grow up. The "my way or the highway attitude" will not go very far with most women. Some who don't have a backbone or any self confidence perhaps, but not any others. Believe me, I'm on my 3rd marriage. Been there done that. The reality is that every relationship takes a butt load of compromise. I learned that a happy SWMBO gets me a whole lot more brewing time and now she even wants to be part of it. So you tell me who's whipped.

Man, reading some of this makes me want to remain a bachelor for a long time
And as the brew network has already noted...adam and eve goes a long way.:cross:

She nailed her temps,addition times,etc. She couldn't stop talking about how good it smelled! Then,as we were watching videos after she pitched,she starts talking about all these subtle aromas she picked up on.
WTF? Did I hear right? Wow,she learns fast! She said"That smells so good! I can't wait to try it!" "I'm perk as a ruttin buck that you nailed your temps & everything!" She raises her glass of HB,beams a great smile,& says "well,I had a good teacher! You helped me a lot!" Aaaawww,shuckins...
