Hell, that sounds awfully boring. But I guess what I do would indeed be awfully boring to many. I make careful notes on each of my brews. I never brew from other peoples recipes - but I read some & I hope learn from them. At the moment I'm developing 5 of my own recipes. When I say "developing", by now it's almost just "tweaking" at least 3 of them - the other 2 need work!
Hey, but 20 years ago I only brewed 1 beer. Again & again, with minimal variation. Then, I didn't know enough to get pretty well the same result repeatedly (still can't guarantee it now of course :smile: ) but I got close enough. Why do this? Because in my younger days there were very, very few beers - and only one style - that I actually rated (light-bodied English bitter with good hop aroma). So I wanted to brew this.
Now, with better ingredients - and particularly the wonderful hops now available (but also better quality malts) - I'm branching out! But my aim is the same - to make a very limited number of beers. But to make them absolutely as good as I can!
 
Knackered.

Me - "I'm off out to the garage for a couple of hours."

SWMBO - "That's what you said yesterday and you were out there for nearly eight hours."

Me - "I've only go a few bits and bobs to do today."

SWMBO - "You said that yesterday as well. What do you find to do out there?"

Me - "Er .... !?!?"

The truth is I really don't know why, but a ten minute job seems to take an hour nowadays! :whistle:

Maybe because the shed doesn't have crap TV on for hours, and staring at bubbles is far more interesting than something called 'real housewives of (insert US city)' By any chance?

Or just me?
