I have been all grain brewing for 4 years. Within the last year I have had a baby and more stress at work. It seems that more than anything it is daunting to take on a 5 hour brewing session with everything else going on in life.
I currently have two beers in fermentors. I have a lambic that has about 9 months go go, and a saison that should have been bottled a month ago. My plan was to bottle the saison and brew a Belgian strong ale and put it on the yeast cake. It seems that I just cannot commit to bottling and brewing.
It used to be that I would start brewing around 6PM and be done before midnight. I still have time to do that. I just don't seem to have the motivation. There have been several evenings where I plan to brew but when it comes time to actually make it happen I decide I would rather just relax.
Is this common for anyone else? Do you eventually get past it? Do I just need need to pull my stuff together and get it done? or should I just sell all my equipment now? I never imagined that I would turn in to "this guy"
Thanks in advance for the support/advice.
