Really should stay away from this thread, find myself having Tourettes moments, which is a real worry. Trouble is when you've been concentrating on a certain recipe for a while, but for one reason or another haven't been able to brew it, it starts to really consume your thoughts. Have been wanting to make an American Brown for a long time, was all ready to go but had to do a quick Aussie Lager, my son's car was stolen and totalled, his workmates all chipped in to help him out, so a keg of beer for them in return was the least I could do. Have the recipe, all the ingredients and the yeast, but have to get other brews out of the fermenting fridge before it's possible.
So this afternoon I'm shopping with SWAMBO at Coles, for some reason I always browse the shelves in the home brew section. I think to myself "I'm never going to get around to that FARKING AMERICAN BROWN", trouble is the words in capitals came out aloud and people looked at me. Felt really stupid, and wondered if this could be the early stages of Tourettes Syndrome.
