Sometimes homebrewers get into a certain part of the hobby before they should be looking at other parts.
This was me to some degree as well. Here's another example. I have a friend who has asked me several times about how to get into all-grain brewing. His most basic extract kits with 1056 still taste strongly of band-aids. I have suggested several times that at the very least he gets a large garden bucket for $6.00 from Home Depot to use as a swamp cooler. Nope. He won't do it. The band aids persist and I can't drink his beer. He never seems to notice it though. His basement is the perfect temp too. He could probably ferment his beer there without the bucket. Nope. He wants to have the bucket in his kitchen (even in summer, no AC) Why?...so he can see the activity in the airlock. But what do I know?... he's been making beer for many more years than me.
