Thanks mate, the brewing is actually good therapy and keeps me busy which is good

+1 - filling up the hallway linen cupboard did it for me.

Great idea for storing all the VB bottles my brother saves for me.
I will stack horizontally and try and take a photo. Prob be able to fill it 2 bottles deep, floor to ceiling.

Was looking at the space under my house (storage area about 5X7 m) with my fiancee yesterday and she sez, "This would be a good brew area and you could put all your bottles and beer and stuff (kegs, I assume) in here. Just need to get the floor concreted". I was flabbergasted. No wonder I adore that girl!

@triache - my condolences mate. I've got 3 of my own - one pretty sick on a permanent basis (though not immediately life threatening) - hurts like hell to see 'em like that (SWMBO or kids), I hope you get all the therapy you need in brewing, and you gain the strength to support her in this time of need.

wahoo!!! thanks mate!!

 

[hyjak71]

tricache, my heart goes out to you and yours mate, been through similar situation and wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. Seems like you are in the right head space though, one day at a time and eventually things seem a bit better.
On the other side of the coin, we are now parents to beautiful 19 month old twins and whilst it's crazy some days we wouldn't have it any other way!

+1 on the bottles everywhere, kegging system is on the card for later this year. A half barrel at the back door full of bottles soaking is a 3-4 times a day reminder that kegging is tidier (in the eyes of SWMBO)
Only down side is it will mean walking to shed to get beer.

I just bought the bits and pieces I needed then accepted the crap I had to put up with shortime from SWMBO. A day or so in the dog house is well worth it imo.

It is easier to be forgiven than to seek permission!!

Did the same thing with a 25k Harley a couple of months ago. Can still hear the conversation..

"Well is it practical?"

"What do you mean, can i go and cut firewood or do the shopping? No."

"I mean is it a chopper?"

"Yes it's a chopper"

"Does it have a backseat?"

"No. It doesn't have a back seat."

Don't be fooled Les, she just wants all your beer crap out of her sight!!

She will truly see the light when she doesn't trip over all your empties around the house...

Howdy Brewers,

nice breweries to see here.
I didnt post so much lately here on AHB, because weve moved to our new house. After some renovations around the new (old) house, I found time to build my new brewery.

Here some photos of the new playground:




The brewing process is completely computer controlled
