So I would like to know what the rules are at your place in regards to your beer and mates drinking it.
I think its great that my friends like my beer and are starting to appreciate other types of beer. However, I think my house mates friends have started to take advantage of this. For example, helping themselves to beer when im not around (One guys had 6 pints!!). As I said im happy for people to drink my beer but I don't brew it to help other to get a buzz on before they go out as me not charging them is obviously cheaper than the pub....
any thoughts?????

I'd definitely say no touching while I'm not there, unless I have given prior permission.

They're stretching any friendship IMO and obviously it is not sustainable. I'd talk with them about it, otherwise it might come to the point of blowing a valve in frustration, I know I would be really quite annoyed if someone drained much of my beer without my consent. Its one thing to be generous with your hobby's results, but its another for housemates to help themselves to your goodies ad lib. Set some boundaries is my advice.
One other 'tool' is to suggest that you need to keep some for competitions so quarantine it. Alternately, make a crap batch of kit beer, leave that for public consumption and put everything else off limits. Be up front about it and tell them why, ask if they have any suggestions for a preferred recipe.
Good luck!

I'm actually doing something similar with some friends...sigurdur wrote:Great idea .. and appoint them to the bottling duty!stux wrote:Make them a batch? have them pay for it's ingredients?
They want in on the brewing/beer
So I do double batches (ie 38L in a 60L), then keg and carbonate both.
I bought a counter-pressure bottle filler... now if they want to bottle they can wash the bottles, and fill the bottles off their own keg
