Yet Another Twin Cities Brewer

[OnePlate]

Wife: What do you want for Xmas?
Me: A homebrew starter kit! The one gallon kits are on sale at Northern Brewer!
Wife: I like beer! Wish granted!
Me: I love you.

Me: Dang, everywhere in our apartment is too warm to ferment. I'm going to have to make a swamp cooler or something.
Wife: Don't build something ugly. Let's get you a little wine fridge!
Me: I love you.

Me: These extract kits are kinda boring. I think I want to make the move to all grain, but we'll need a slightly larger stock pot.
Wife: Why don't you just get that Ss Brewtech kettle you showed me?
Me: Because I'm cheap and I'd feel guilty?
Wife: I just spent $200 getting my hair cut and colored. I do this every other month. Just buy what you need and don't sweat it! Also, I'm giving you a budget every month in case you need/want anything for brewing!
Me: I love you.


I'm a stay at home dad with no income of my own since we had our baby almost two years ago so I try to DIY pretty much everything out of guilt over spending money. My wife appreciates me and likes to show it by buying me things (when I let her) so here I am, with a quickly growing brewing setup!

I hope all you other metro area brewers are drinking beer to stay warm over the next couple days

Welcome to the group, from another brewer in the Twin Towns!

And your wife is a keeper! Better take her out for a nice dinner when it warms up.

Welcome from another Twin City brewer (New Brighton).

Good you appreciate your wife; she's definitely a peach. But, don't feel too guilty. In addition to love she is also getting good beer.
