I've had a lot of fun with brewing, but sadly I just can't find the time anymore, I have fought this moment for a long time. I did not brew in 2011 and only a couple of times in 2010. I've collected a lot of stuff along the way, so I am flogging it all off. I've listed some of it and will list more.
This year I am making wine in McLaren Vale and will not be home for 6 months, probably longer. Hopefully we will then sell up and move home to the Adelaide Hills and I will go overseas for vintage again. My wife lost her mum to cancer 3 months ago and she needs her sisters and Dad more than ever.
So, as you can see, I won't be brewing in 2012 either.
I was also asked by the doctor to give drinking a break for a while, so I don't see how brewing fits into that now. With the quality of beer available in bottleshops these days, I am happy to just purchase what I need when I have met my weight and fitness goals.
I've lost 5kg already, 20kg to go! for me it wasn't the drinking that put the weight on, beer made so bloody hungry, even the next day I was hungry.
