I am in the middle of a brew build. I should brew using the parts, but it is annoying that I can brew at one level, but I have most of the parts to brew at another, so I feel no impetus, even though I know I sincerely want home made beer on tap.

Did K+K 20 yrs ago - I was young and poor. It was all about quantity not quality. After that I lived in Holland (near the Belgium border) for 9 yrs and always wanted to AG after living in the middle of beer heaven. About a year ago a friend told me about BIAB and that got me excited. Did some research on here and jumped in. Kegging is the only way to fly, I will never again clean a bottle.

Should have also said; used to do extract brews with spec. grains back in the Old Dart and always wanted to go all grain. Bought Dave Line's books etc but when I came out here lack of money and a Coopers can on every supermarket shelf got me K'n'K'ing for 17 years. After a brief interlude with Malt Shovel tins and Fresh Wort kits took the plunge into All Grain in 2003 and Kegging in 2006.

I have not brewed that much in the last Year & a 1/2, have just done 2 brews in 2 days, for me, it is just a matter of pulling my finger out and get it done....

****, ive got all the Keg Gear and Brew AG, it also upsets me buying beer just for something to drink, especially when I prob have 100kg Grain in the shed...

Im back now though!!

I've brewed almost solidly for 17 years....
The last 3 as AG...and after brewing nearly every 5 to 6 weeks on my AG 3V beer machine , i have not made a brew since April 28th....
This is primarily because we now have a baby boy....
I am in the process of negotiating with SWMBO , a brew day in the not too distant future...
This is the only reason, thus far, in 17 years of brewing ( from kits to FWK to AG ) that i have not brewed....
SWMBO doesn't know it yet , but when she agrees to let me brew , i'm planning on knocking out a back to back brew day :ph34r:

Believe it or not, today I also stumbled upon a secondary vessel hidden in the shed, full of an AG beer I made 9 months ago...just sitting, 'aging'. The film of growth on top was quite interesting to look at, but the aroma was tremendous. I poured it around a thirsty shrub in the backyard, when my sister later announced that it smelt like someone had thrown up in the garden.

I realised my stop-start brewing is so sporadic that I wasn't even bothered to bottle a brew.

It's a sad day.
