I thought they cant drink while still breast feeding. Dont have kids so idk but i thought i heard that somewhere.

Not in large quantities, no. She can have a small glass right after she finishes feeding. The lag between the consumption and feeding takes care of any tainted milk. Besides, we have the test strips and formula in case she decides she wants a few one night.

I made it a cinnamon vanilla cider so it would lay down until next fall anyway, when she's done feeding.

SWMBO: How much was all this stuff?
Me: You don't want to know.
SWMBO: Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy the beer?
Me: That's not the point.

I've been here. Once I threw in "organic" "local" and "Trader Joes" somewhere into the rebuttal, we've been good since

 

[Billy-Klubb]

my wife: Would you let the dog in, please?
me: Sure thing!
my wife: Thank you! I love you.
me: I love you too.

Me: I need to move beer in the garage.
Wife: O.K.
Two hours later...
Wife: Hi!
Me: Hrmph...hel..hell..hello...
Wife: REALLY!!!?!!

 

[Natdavis777]

Wife: (talking to friends) The garage is basically a brewery
Me: Yeah but both vehicles are still able to fit with plenty of room
Wife: Still....
Me: You have the entire floccin house to paint, decorate, and do whatever to and I dont care. I have a closest for guns and a garage...
Friends: He has a valid point...

Her: I've been replaced by this beer making thing and that's fine but if you start bringing kegs to bed, we're gonna have a problem!
Me: .....(noted).

After renovating the kitchen completely and putting a roof over the back porch the wife starts this conversation:

Wife: Now that we have roof over the back porch, you can park the motorcycle there?
Me: no, no difference between the porch and a carport (no garage). I am tired of starting it up and smelling dead geckos (burnt by the motor), or cats getting on the seat and putting holes in it. F*** that.
Wife: Well the bike in the living room is not feng shui.
Me: Well you and I ain't chinese (she is filipina) and the bike will either go here or here (point at two different places next to an outlet (so I can hookup the battery tender). You let me know where you want this furniture moved to and I will tuck the bike in against the wall with my floor jack.

30 minutes later....

Wife: OK put this table over here (where the bike originally was) and these chairs here and you can put your bike over there (the alternate spot).
Me: See that wasn't too hard was it?
Wife: No... with a pouty face...

No drama ever again about the bike. When I set up the brewing area on the newly roofed porch, not a peep. It's my space and she accepts it and is happy that I am not brewing in "her" kitchen.

Life is great and the wife doesn't want to argue about anything. I am a lucky man to have such a great wife

We were planning on making a beer run later in the day. I mentioned that I wanted to pick up some Nugget Nectar.

Later, at the store: "What was that beer you wanted, 'Nut Nugget'?"
"Nope, already got a couple of those."

SWMBO: "What is this called Nugget Nectar? Sounds like someone juiced some turds and put it in a bottle"
Me: "This is why I love you"

Honestly Nugget Nectar just makes me think its poop juice.

I think my wife has a long-lost twin out there somewhere. That sounds exactly like something she'd say.

My wife would think nugget nectar was an extraction of our favorite plant.

First time she came home and found me there with hydrometers a blaze. The kids snapped a picture. The goatee, bald head and glasses I couldn't. Deny the similarities lol

My fiance says things like "you can have this ring back when you pry it off my cold dead finger".

But, she also asks me "um, so are aren't you brewing this weekend?" and sends me links to used brewing equipment on CL.

So its not all bad.

 

[WayFrae]

"MF'er! Your damn beer blew up in the closet again!! You need to hurry up and get your f**king beer shed completed and get this sh*t out of here!"

Its how I am now about 75% done with my 12x24 fully finished brew shed, with a full Kal clone e-setup, kegerator and freezer for ferm temps.

Some messes are made to "push" things in my direction.

She gets on me much less now I am about a month from being completely out of the house with my hobby.
She now worries more than I am going to actually physically move out into the brew cave once its completed.

:fro:

Do you have a build thread of this? I would love to see your progress. My SWMBO wants me to build a brew shed as well.

 

[bragona71]

My wife doesn't really like beer, especially hoppy or dark beers. Most brew days go like this...

SWMBO: Is this something I might like?

ME: Nope.

+1!!!!! everytime!!

 

[KindofBlues71]

After I got my kegerator set up with two 2.5 gal kegs:

Wife: "You know what would be cool? A kegerator in the dining room with those cute little kegs."
Me: (silence, scanning for sarcasm)

She was totally serious, too.

 

[djonesax]

I finally crafted a recipe that my wife really likes.

Me: Well the keg kicked so you got the last brew.
Wife: Thats crazy, I cant believe you drank it all!
Me: ME?!?

Mine likes to stick her head out into the garage about half way through the mash and ask "are you almost done" when she knows damn well that almost done means the chiller is in the wort or the wort is flowing into the carboy.

 

[Oberon67]

"You can't make any more beer! You've taken up all the space in the storage closet with your stupid jugs!"

-- while I go find room for one more --

 

[cannman]

SWMBO asked if she could take some of my brewing equipment to teach her class a bit about science! I was moved!!!

 

[Semo]

Nice...im using that!

 

[Rotor_Head]

Had a buddy over to brew and SWMBO actually brought out pretzels and hummus. She's the $hit. Full on keeper.
