Changing our codependent habits is hard, but rewarding when tried.

Brewed a dry stout (BJCP 15a) on Saturday and got some feedback from fellow brewers on my hazy IPA (maybe not hazy enough). Discussed patience in brewing and upcoming competition.

On taking ownership of your own stuff instead of blaming others for ruining your day.
