Same here. I pay the ”Physical" Price" the next day after brewing 5 gallon batch. But after it’s in the Fermenter 5 hours later, I shower and go to bed. Save the brewpot scrubbing and thorough cleaning 2 days later. But I love to Brew and get my physical therapy while doing so.I'm disabled so each brew is a pretty major task for me. It hones my practice to making large enough batches to serve as muscle-relaxants, while avoiding oxygenation, to last until the next time I can torture myself with a brew-day. 'Disabled' as a worker in Canada also means: "Financially crippled for life" so if I want decent palatable beer that I otherwise can't afford, I need to make it...but hey; I've been using it as a combination of neurolgical and physical therapy that provides an otherwise unattainable Quality of Life. Just brew less and focus on lasting quality until you find what's ideal for you.
Cheers and hang in there.
