Brewing Master

Question:

I would charge him the price of at least 1 keg, about $25, for God’s sake!

The reason that I have not is that my cousin, who bought the home next to me is having a party at mid October and wants me to brew 3 kegs.  I am honored that he loves my beer that much, but I am so thirsty for one of my brews! You are probably asking, so what is the problem?  Well, I only have 3 kegs!! I know that I can brew a awesome ale before his party, but he wants some ales that need some cold conditioning.  I don’t think I have time to brew a beer for me and the three he wants in that amount of time. So, would you all raise a pint of fresh homebrew and toast to those less fortunate, like me who have to suffer with cheap whiskey, and commercial lawnmower brew.  I can’t afford the good stuff like Pabst Blue Ribbon or Schlitz.  He He!!

Here’s another bit of ammo for your "I’ve-just-gotta-brew" Jones:  "Honey, just think…. your kitchen will be absolutely spotless when I’m done!!!" This is the one that won my wife over, because the kitchen (including the stove) is always cleaner afterwards than when brew day dawned.  Now, she even looks forward to brew day because she loves the aromas produced as well as the end product. — –DAsh The latest oxymoron found on the Internet: "Public Privacy"

She waits for it.  She waits for it.  And then, when I tell her I want to make a drive over to the Homebrew store to pick up a few things, she gives me that ‘oh God, here we go again’ look she is so good at. She is indulgent of my obsession and I used a very persuasive argument I found in this newsgroup (wish I knew who to attribute) that suggested that brewing is not only SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than golf but also keeps you around the house on a Saturday afternoon. All is good.  My jones is satisfied, my fiance is smiling after her first sip of my lambic, and my new brew is happily perking away at 68 degrees of amber perfection. Carter p.s.  Selling her on a third fridge in the garage might be a challenge, but we’ll cross the bridge later.

That’s really funny.  I brewed this weekend, and my dear husband gave a series of l-o-n-g sighs when he saw me defrosting the freezer in my beer fridge on Thursday night and grinding malt on Friday night and making a starter on Saturday.  I think he thought we might, say, see a movie or something on Sunday with our "free time".  Silly man. But he’ll stop whining when the pale ale’s done. . .  ;) Brina

As sad as this may seem, you have two real options (not brewing for yourself is not one of them). Buy more kegs, or bottle some beer. Cheers, Mike
