Thread: To reload or not reload?

I love a beer, used to brew my own & really enjoyed playing around with recipes & varying the amount of hops & yeasts and things - Mainly I loved the finished product.

Convinced i would save myself heaps of money & then convincing my wife it was a great idea it began... it evolved from a plastic 20L fermenter and a couple dozen glass bottles into kegs & sodastream bottles / regulators & then much larger CO2 bottles, multiple 60L stainless fermenters, Heat pads, Dedicated temperature regulated fridges & then plumbing beer through another fridge / tap & then multiple taps!
The costs easily outweighed the savings

But i hated doing all the cleaning & sterilizing of bottles / kegs, eventually it seemed like my hobby was just "doing the dishes" I also loathed the waiting times....so i threw it in & now just go to the bottle store instead.

When i think about trying reloading i remind myself about my beer brewing hobby, and my slightly obsessive personality

I reckon you should just give it a go & see for yourself
