I feel your pain.
I just ground the grain for an all grain Stout I'll make tomorrow. The wonderful dark grain aromas remind me of a nice red wine fermenting on the skins, in a different sort of way.
I guess I'm fortunate that I make both beer and wine. While I'm waiting for my "meh" kits to age and become "yea" kits, I know the beer I will make tomorrow will be drinkable in two weeks, and wonderful in a month.
