It's official - I have echewed all other hobbies while I pursue homebrewing.
The decision point was six pounds of hops that arrived from hopsdirect.com. It looks massive.
I have over 100 lbs of grain in inventory, and another 150 lbs on the way. The small brew room is crowded with 1,2, ... 18 buckets of varying sizes, including 2x15 gallon tubs to receive the next grain shipment. There is a teeny fridge for fermenting and chilling. Stir plate. Scale. Grain on the floor. Glue traps in the corners. Six or eight cases of bottles at any time.
I like my primitive BAB system. Over the next 2 years I am considering a 10 gallon pot, running a 230V circuit, and permanently installing electric elements and a recirculation pump.
Homebrewing. It is a never ending spiral into the pit.
