When we do shows on our radio show Final Gravity we like to consume and we have a good time doing so. However there comes a time when we all say whoa hold on, we don’t want to ruin a good thing and make the mistake of potentially losing it all and come to grips with our consumption. Maderation is the key but I also think that in a “family” setting you have collegues and friends that look out for one another, and that helps too.

Also I beleive that those that do, don’t. In other words those that make the beer are around it so often and are intimate with the product that they see it differently than those that don’t, so more than not they don’t over consume. It is much like when you go to a plumbers house to find that the bathroom is out of commission or a landscapers yard is full of weeds and long grass.

I have been brewing for almost 20 years and when discussed with other friends they often ask me about over consumption and the fact that its so easy to drink too much. When I tell them I don’t they look at me like I am a liar, however, I have to declare that the beer I make is more of a “living” creation, something to enjoy and share and discuss rather than to get hammered. That is not to say that getting “hammered” never happens, its just not a remotely regular event. I have to believe that because I am so close to the libation that I don’t.

Jamil, keep up the good work and thank you for keeping the dream alive for so many of us homebrewers. I wish you the best!!
