Something in the hops?

Okay so why do I always feel so shattered at the end of a brew morning. I was up at half six (pretty normal) mash in for 7:10 finished the boil at about 11:30. Then I start yawning and feeling totally shattered. Happens every time.

If that was me, getting up at 6.30 (that's the middle of the night isn't it?) would be the answer to that question

Same here. I have 2 small children so I'm up at 5:50 whether it's a work day or not. Means I can get my mash on to heat super early - start my boiler at 6 when I feed the cats and stick the grains in after my shower.

I have done a few on days off, drop kids off at school and straight into it.. I think it is just a tiring experience mentally and emotionally I know that sounds silly and a bit OTT but because you put a bit of heart and soul into it and occasioanlly have a panic moment or adjustment it just tires you out a bit..

hops are a natural sedative though (relative to marijuana)

happens to me aswell.. iam glad somebody else has noticed it..

on a side note back in the day a certain closely related herb used in rizlas never agreed with me either.. never had a problem with beer though.
