The bigest joy of brewday for me is that if it's on a Sunday, Cadence and I get to go to Jimmy John's for sandwiches!

The biggest stress of brewday for me is that if it's on a Sunday, I have to do church w/ Cadence by myself or if we skip church, I still have to keep Cadence out of the kitchen.

I dig the actual smell of the wort as it boils. Im a hop-head so its almost always pungent. It is also fun when that first beer is carbonated and ready to drink, especially when you SCORE and really like the results. This is when "self-back-patting" and "'ataboys" are appropriate.
Stress?...maybe trying to come up with enough bottles to keep pace with my brewing obsession. I guess I am going to be forced to start kegging...

I typically enjoy the brew day - everything from hanging out with my wife and whoever else cares to show up, to the actual process of brewing. So outside the good company, to me the most joy comes when the cooled wort hits the fermenter and the yeast is pitched. I can also say the smell of wort and hops brings quite a bit of joy too! Stress typically comes from temperature-related things, like making sure the mash/sparge are the right temp, and the wort gets cooled quickly to pitching temp. Cheers!
