Anyone else struggling to get organized to even brew lately? I've brewed maybe 3 times since Christmas and it's felt like a slog each time. Nothing has changed in the work or time involved, I just struggle to find the drive to measure out the grain to even start the brew lately.
It's weird and kind of disconcerting when I take the time to think about it. I used to do it as a relaxing way to burn an afternoon, lately it's felt like a burden. I don't get it.
I've been feeling that way more this past year. One of the primary reasons is being very busy (work and home) for the past year and more. With little down time, I always felt tired and rushed on brew days so I wasn't really enjoying it as much as I used to. Also, tendonitis in my wrists made cleaning & bottling a literal pain. But I came to realize that not brewing was even less fun. So I plan to start prioritizing brew days, in spite of other demands on my time. Also, I'm moving into kegging. So, we'll see how all that plays out. I hope you figure out a solution to your funk @Hawkbox! Remember, we are always here for you, whether you are brewing or not.
