You're kidding me?! Say it ain't so...I just transferred a beer out of secondary that I brewed before my daughter was born. She's 7 months now. That should tell you how much time you'll be having to brew.

This is what helps me out the most. My mom often comes over and helps watch the kids when I brew.Do any of you guys have family close by? I don't have kids but judging by the way my parents go nuts for my nephew if I did have kids they'd be over before I could hang up the phone if I asked them to come over and watch a little one for a day while I brewed.

Yeah... but he hasn't said "what" it was. My bet is he brewed some high gravity beer that will benefit from a LONG secondary and aging in the bottles... something that would hold up and mature over time until say... his daughters wedding. Just kidding.J... what was it that you had in secondary for 7 months?You're kidding me?! Say it ain't so...

Dry stout. I way underestimated my system efficiency, so it's more like an dry extra stout. I think the OG was 1068 (I haven't taken an FG that I can remember). I should've transferred earlier, but i was just out of brewing mode for a while. It even got a little moldy , tastes fine though .Yeah... but he hasn't said "what" it was.

It finished out at 1.013, a healthy 7.3% ABV. Mmmmmmm...Dry stout. I way underestimated my system efficiency, so it's more like an dry extra stout.

It probably just means she'll do what I did and rock out vodka and rum until she can buy her own (decent) beer.How about when the kids get older? If I get my daughter to develop a taste for IPA's, stouts, and the like, will she turn up her nose at the sub-BMC fare (Sierra, Black Label, Meister chow, etc.) offered at the typical college party, thus keeping her nose in the books?Or is that just wishful thinking?

Or, just keep asking daddy for more money to buy good beer.It probably just means she'll do what I did and rock out vodka and rum until she can buy her own (decent) beer.

Well there was a period of time where I wasn't the one doing the buying so I didn't have as much say in the matterOr, just keep asking daddy for more money to buy good beer.
