superstitions, quirky things you do whilst home brewing

[Manxnorton]

Hello all,
Had 5 mins to add an hops addition and I thought 'what the hell am I wearing my manky top again?'
Well I've always wore it or a blue engineers jacket before doing any work..then a cuppa and think about the task at hand!
Do you have and querky superstitions or what u do to prepare yourself doing HB'ing
It might just be just the way you do in with the left hand whilst listening to your fav music lol
I'll start it of with a pic of my manky top!! Never been washed for a long time!

Should be s laugh...:-)

I always put the cat out as it gets into everything and always wait for Mrs Tea to go to work before starting as it saves me getting earache about the mess i make. :lol:

Haha, that top made me think about the guy on YouTube who is so paranoid about infecting his beer from dirt on his clothes that he brews in his underpants. Your top would terrify him!! :lol:

Well only made the one brew so don't have a tradition as such but I intend to have a beer while brewing. And it seem my 3 year old daughter needs to be involved in everything from brewing to bottle day, so i have a helper monkey.

I don't think I'd trust my 3 year old not to either drop a full bottle or pull off the bottling wand when the FV tap is switched on!

That's the guy, he cracks me up. Like a ninja when he catches that speck of dust :lol:


I've stripped off and lathered myself in Carex. Now where's my breast pump?

My one foible is that I don't drink anything alcoholic until the Wort Cooler has been deployed and the temperature has been dropped below 50 degrees. :thumb:

It's more a "survival" thing than a "superstition" because even stone-cold sober I'm still clumsy enough to do myself damage!

Hey, I'm just the same only my rule is not to have a beer until the boiler is up to mash temperature.
