Right, It's been 3 months, he cleared my keezer out at his christening and he all smiles pulling an empty beer tap!! Thinks it's hilarious




I told him, I've taken enough of his shit (Literally) and anymore and he's going to get introduced to Mr Blickman!! Needless to say, that shut him up for a bit(5 minutes)


But serious, people with kids(this is all new to me!)....Does your Brewing life suffer? I haven't got back to it in 3 months!

vonHolt

Oh yes it does, big time!!

But you'll find a way, there's always a way - Well that's what I keep telling myself :-)
Fermenting: nada
Conditioning: zip
Drinking: Hacked Muntons Premium Lager kit with Saaz Hops, Chocolate Maple Porter
To Brew: Bruxelles Blonde, Summer Wheat, Jalapeno Saison, Mouten Kop, Bavarienfest

YES!

Give the sprog to the in-laws for a day and give the wife your credit card and let her loose in the shops. You can get a brew in then but you're probably so sleep deprived that you'll just go to bed.

Or else just brew a kit.

In another few years that little one will be handy for bottling, milling grain etc.

Savage gas burner BTW!

If the kids are keeping you up late, well you might as well mash.

Thanks, I've handed him off to the parents a few times, but that was just for power napping, maybe a baby flavoured beer (to non-baby owners....They have a particular smell and flavour)

Thanks Shane, this is the new Generation that will be Brewing for us when we're too old to lug around our 5 Gallon Brews...so in a way, I guess we better be nice to them  :P

Grats on the sprog!
Yeah, mine cut my brewing back by about half.
Bang a kit on for yourself to keep stocks up. Try the Coopers' English Bitter and dry hop it with something nice ;)

Congrats, it's funny though I started brewing when our first little one arrived cos I couldn't go to the pub any more.
