I used to brew years ago. I come from a long line of beer brewers, even before it was legal in my state. Look up Rocky Raccoons honeyed Lager some day. I quit because my wife was diagnosed with celiac, and we could no longer drink it together. Kind of took the fun out of brewing for me. I smoke pounds of bacon and such now. And I still try and build a new model steam engine every winter when I’m not ice fishing.
Hobbies are a good thing. They keep your mind sharp and your hands functional.
I’ve actually become more materialistic, but in a “I want more tools so I can learn more skills and do more things” sort of way.
I want to brew my own beer and make my own cheese. Experience tells me I enjoy things I make with my hands much much more than when I buy them.

I too want to make cheese! It’s exciting! And at the end I might have cheese!!
I got into wine making in the past 2 years and it is consuming me. I hardly drink any myself but I love tweaking the recipe and giving it away.
