Teach a Spouse to Brew Day

Today was a significant milestone in the year of beer. My wife made her first all grain beer today with a mash tun we both built together. There was a stuck sparge and all those great things that go wrong making beer. We even tried a new wort ice water pump chiller. It took her a full 8 hours from start to finish. I am so proud of her. I think I've created a monster. Ain't it great!
