My wife says I need to brew more

[Happywanderer]

:rockin:

Yeah - because once a month just isn't enough. Especially when I brew big beers or beers that need to bottle condition for months.

Guess I'll go to a 3-week schedule and mix "fast" beers and "slow" beers.

That should keep plenty of drinkable beer at all times...

Good thing I have 200 bottles....

Is now a good time to look into kegging....

Wife sounds like a keeper.

Yep!

To the OP, consider doing two brews in a day for while and stick to the same schedule.

 

[vincentAlpha]

Wish I had that problem, though mine is quite supportive of my cider making.

 

[madscientist451]

Any reason you just don't brew more? Having the "boss" onboard is really a big plus.

 

[Ben58]

My wife thoroughly enjoys our beers. Brewing every 2 weeks, with the occasional specialty batch in between. Embrace your opportunity.

 

[OneManBrewery]

Well you heard her, get to it!

 

[Cyclman]

I moved to 2.5G batches so I could brew more and experiment, without my basement becoming a solid sea of beer bottles!

Same with me. She got me started. When I wanted to upgrade to all grain she went out and bought me a mash tun. I brew a lot of belgians and when I mentioned it would be cool to be able to cork and cage bottles. She blught me a floor corker.

Got to love a supportive wife.

Now brew more.

 

[Happywanderer]

she helps me bottle. I fill, she caps.

 

[markstache]

My wife brews.

 

[BigDog007]

I'd like to meet your wife. She sounds like a smart lady. My wife threatened to sell all of my equipment only a few weeks after I started brewing. Of course she didn't and as long as I spend more time with her than I do in my garage I think we'll be ok.

I forget, does Tiffany make cornies or sanke?

 

[jbb3]

What a slave driver she is! All you can do now is follow orders....

 

[sputnam]

it is def time to keg....get a minimum of 3 taps and 4 kegs

 

[troy2000]

You guys with supportive wives are lucky. Mine says, "why don't you do something normal?" Of course, she doesn't think my Jeep and guns are normal either...

 

[Psylocide]

Mine is super supportive but hates the time commitment. We have a toddler running around, so she ends up doing a lot of work on brew days too.

That's why I'm going to start experimenting with BIAB overnight mashing on my next brew. Should split it up a bit and reduce the total 'Daddy down' time in a single day.

Plus I won't be getting wasted on brew day because I'll start the boil right away in the morning. That should help.

 

[PlexVector]

SWMBO! End of story.

 

[browder]

My wife is bitchin this winter that I need to boil off more beer too-I been spending all my $$ on going outside in garage--5th season @ it-I usually start the 1st of Dec. do 5.5 Gal. batches once a week in the kitchen--just about ready to get back on track with it

 

[aStoutObserver]

Try doing some partigyles with your "big" beers. 1 big beer that takes months and the other small beer that you can enjoy in just a month.

Or just use this as an excuse to go nuts and buy yourself kegging equipment and a bigger brew rig.

 

[cmoewes]

+1 for doing multiple batches in a brew day. Do some reading about partigyle process to get 2 beers from one mash.
