Trade a baby for brewing?

We are family.

Yes we are.
Don't get me wrong we'll judge you, but that's just over your choice of beer.

Families don't judge each other?

My experience is that families judge each other all the time, it's just that they try to be nicer to each other about it, and when someone gets carried away the person being judged usually cools down for a while and eventually forgives the person.

Courtesy, forgiveness, and love, that's family. Sort of.

My wife has been pretty cool about giving me time to brew and the like, but I doubt I’ll be able to brew enough to keep three home brews on tap.

10 or 20 gal batches take the same amount of time to brew....

edit: and if you mean different, there's always dry hopping....

I thought of that, but then I’d need bigger equipment. The cool think is that my oldest are now old enough to play outside while I do it without needing to be watched.

Whoa, that sounds like something you should've shared with family first.

I’m not ready to tell family and friends. Oh, the questions and comments they’ll have.

i'm childless and single, but i know a 15 gal pot and 10 gal cooler costs ~$300...not too bad...but i would say, i've seen the neighbor's kids go from a bump, to walking and talking in what seems like a short time...maybe because i drink and time moves slow for me. at any rate you should get street cred for making beer, and they won't be such a coward to the dope pushers....

Reading this thread has made me even happier I never had any kids. But it was, for me, kind of like watching a car crash happen in slow motion.

I never thought I’d want/ have kids until I did. And it’s been great, although there are definitely stressful and crazy times. But you adapt and figure it out. That being said, adding a third is going to push me over the top. I gotta figure we’ll make this work too. We’ll have to.

I told my mom tonight, she was more surprised than anything, but happy. She’s not super involved anyway.

I love my two kids with all my heart, but you should never let them outnumber you (I’m one of ten so know what I’m talking about).
