Indeed. My wife was quite willing to buy me (on my kids' behalf) father's day gifts for my other hobby - bread making, but not beer. I think she thinks I don't need encouragement.
Besides, even though she doesn't mind a beer or cider, she's breastfeeding, so can't have much anyway.

I was given 50 dollars for Fathers Day and told to go spend it at the HBS, and then to top that of was given 6 nice stemed beer glasses.
I think my wife thinks homebrewing keeps me at home, and therefore spend more time with the kids
My daughter always love to give the beer a sniff after I've poured a new glass. She especially like's the stouts, says "It smells a bit like chocolate":lol:
She also like to put the caps on the bottles.

I have 4yr old twins and a 2year old. They love to get involved in the bottling process. Get's a bit hairy, but at least they are learning about the alcohol from a good source, not swilling VB six packs behind the golf course when they are 13 (like I did!).

Guys, guys, stop it! You're making me jealous!
Of course, I shouldn't be really, my wife is an excellent woman, just less into my brewing than some others' apparently.

Oh i have an old fridge in the shed that i use already for ccing and storing ingredients(grain, yeast etc) and i also plan on maybe running a keg system through it one day, the problem would be attacking the new fridge

Just don't go see Mr arrogant on hamsted road,that guy at that HB shop needs anti depressants or something,i seriously wonder how his business survives with his fowl arrogant sarcastic attitudeTimmsy wrote:I go to a few HBS shops here in Adelaide. Depends if im going after work then ill go to brewcraft on henly beach road and if on the weekend i go to one on North east road. Im think i might go visit Grumpys saturday after work and have a couple pints and get a brew. A mate use to run the home brew part and every time i would walk out with more then i wanted for half what i wanted to pay... Plus the free beers but thay got rid of him.
Anyone else recomend any one in Adelaide?
