schmutziges weizen bier update

submitted by Brewdabier from self.Homebrew

So 14 hours ago I finished a 1 gallon batch and it's a good thing I used a blow off tube. So far my experiment looks good. Most extract beers come our dark but maybe the 25 minute boil did the trick.

Ok. You're going to make me dig my old equipment out of the basement.

So why did you stop brewing ?, I'm 67 and slowly giving up all grain brewing and moving over to extract for a easy brew day. One hour vs 7 hours.

As I got older and started a family and career, my hobbies took a backseat. I only made beer from extract, but I would make wine from scratch, minus the yeast.

Funny, I'm retired and my hobbies take most of my time. Now I've been brewing for years and enjoy extract brewing, 30-45 minutes and done.

It seems like projects pop up faster than I can take care of both at home and work. My wife confronted me the other day about both my mental and physical health, and reminded me that I need so set aside some time for myself.

I can be wrong but it soulds like you are letting life control you, 12 years ago I was working 15+ hours a day and my wife made me see myself. Now I have to Google computer answes because I don't keep up with tech. I so to speek let computers control my life. I recamend dwell less on projects and more on things you and the wife like doing together.

You speak the truth. I have set aside a week at the end of the month away from work.

Find some interist you and yours like doing, time flys fast. Beer brewing,cooking I still think of other crap but when I'm off roading my mind is on driving.

Thanks for the advice. I'm really trying to get back to a healthy balance before it wrecks me.
