All my kegs have gone pppffffffffttttt, my gas bottle has been leaking without my knowledge and in now empty after being filled only a month or so ago. My wife has glandular fever (mono) so I have zero time to brew and not even the time to bottle my 5 gallons of strong Belgian lazing in my basement.
You don't realise how much your other half does until you have to do it. I'll never take her for granted again!

I know what you mean Jolly. A few years ago my wife fell and broke and dislocated her elbow. Our kids were about seven months and 2 1/2 at the time. She could not even hold the baby for six weeks. It was brutal. Needless to say, there was no brewing going on. |

My Daughter is 21 months old and is a handful by herself, I can't imagine what it must have been like with two! |

I dunno, Paul. My wife's daughters are 17-year-old twins, and while generally well-behaved (they are "young" for their age) they would be absolutely worthless as brewery help. They couldn't imagine anything more mundane and boring; their interests are in fantasy literature. My wife is happy they are the complete opposite of "girls gone wild," but I worry they are so little grounded in this world. |
