...that is if you start getting serious about it.
The wife is not so pleased about a 5 gallon carboy in the dining room...can't imagine why....I thought it was great so everyone could see it. She doesn't see it that way. She is also not so joyful about a secondary, bottling bucket, caps, hydro, tubes, auto-siphon and so on in the family room....ok...so maybe I see her point on this one.
At any rate I spent the entire day yesterday, and most of today cleaning out the garage...hauling of loads of old junk to prepare for an honest to goodness brew room.
But now I am kind of excited. I am going to paint the floor area, paint the walls with some kind of mural I haven't decided on yet....build shelves...figure out something to build to make it easier to get a fermenter into the temp. controlled chest freezer...damn things are heavy.
But hey - when it's done - it's going to be cool....course by that time I will have about $800 into this "hobby". The wife hasn't complained about the cost yet, something tells me she figures it will be worth it if I spend a lot of time out there.
