Doing the same thing over and over, and getting stale.
How do you get yourself unstuck?
Do you ever find yourself stuck in the same old homebrewing ruts?

I do meads, ciders, but no wine. My wife is from a small wine making village in France, we have a house there so that's where I do 90% of my wine drinking and there's no way I could ever compete with that wine! I have never felt constrained by styles, I brew whatever I want with whatever I want, and 90% of what I brew is good. And I never pass up a chance to drink something I've never seen before, whether it's a new brew from an old favorite or a completely new style.Try making wines or meads. Start secondarying with fruit on some of your standard recipes. Brew something that's totally stylistically incorrect. Try a bunch of other commercial microbrews in styles maybe you didn't care for a couple of years ago and see if there are any that you like. Tastes change.
I haven't gotten into a rut with this hobby (yet), but have with others. Normally I take a break and don't force myself to do it for a while. Usually after a few days/weeks/months I'll get back into it wondering how I was ever in a rut in the first place. YMMV.
My ex, mother to my son, died two years ago from liver failure. Most of the damage was done after she injured her back at work and wasn't able to find lasting relief. She had always enjoyed a night out but she began having a night out EVERY night as a way to self medicate.
