MrsMostOfIt has never done anything to help with brewing, bottling or cleaning. She doesn't like my beer (although she says otherwise) and I don't think I've ever seen her incapable of driving from drink. She does have a Becks or a Stella after work with some of her colleagues occasionally (and annoyingly at one of perhaps the most expensive drinkeries in this town).

I do all the cooking and cleaning (apart from the stuff the Cleaners do), shopping and brewing.

All she does is pay for it... :lol:

Her name would be Drops (Mostof it) wouldn't it?....well, it's not Drinksmostofit, from what you have said.

My mate comes around and helps me drink mine. I do not mind at all as he bought me my third 19Litre Keg for Xmas :D . I told him that was too expensive for a Xmas present and he said to me "I drink all your beer and you do not say a word, now were even". My wife will not touch it so he is my only regular taste tester.

Cheers

The only way I converted him was give him a Coopers 06 followed by a JSGA, purchased not HB recipe, and all of a sudden, he wants beer with flavour :shock: ......no shock to us, but now he likes 80% of the beers I brew.

He loves my cherry beer, strawberry beer, lcpa and lethals Belgian.

Cheers

Heh yeah, the reputation of mine has spread around all my friends, now I have nooo problem getting rid of it! :lol:

I had a job interview the other day, and for part of it I had to do a presentation. I did one on brewing. Got the job. Now my new employers are asking me when I'll be bringing in beer, and I haven't even started working there yet!

OK, I'll stop tooting my own horn now. :)

Software Engineering. The presentation was about communication skills; they already knew I had the other skills they need.

Nice one rwh.
Do you have a MillMaster, or did you just borrow the picture?
I bought one, and I'm very happy with mine.

No, just borrowed the picture (I've got a Marga). Hope Frank doesn't mind. I bet the MillMaster is just slightly better than the Marga. ;)
