Have to love SWMBO

[snowbeast]

I've been in hiding for a while, brew equipment was smashed in a storm last year and hating doing 5l batches.
Was looking at emigrating so didn't replace the equipment as I thought it would be easier to buy once we had moved.

Long story short, SWMBO is getting promoted Jan next year (She has maternity leave July- December fully paid - she's a remedial teacher) and I am doing very well at work so we not emigrating.

Last night I was putting the finishing touches on the baby room and SWMBO comes in and asks if I want to rebuild my setup!
oh boy did I!!!
Monday I am getting a 50l stainless pot, she will buy the fabric and make me a grain bag (bag making bag jokes didnt go down well.) and I just need to get a FV and some sort of heat source and I'm golden.
The equipment will be rough until I can attach an outlet and sight glass, but i'm not complaining!

Really happy with my dearly beloved.
Hoping to make some strong ales as my folks place has a small underground cellar and a couple session ales.

Sounds like a keeper.

snow,
Glad to see you back!
Finished with Kits?
Congrats on the New Arrival!

Thanks Wales! Kits are just too expensive in SA. One can, no additions can cost the same as a BIAB brew. Keen to also start playing (not to the extent of a tractor cock ale)

That's amazing - and congrats on the expected arrival - both of them.

If it was my missus I'd be seriously worried about what she'd be wanting in return.....

But that's my problem....
