You get in a fight with you wife becuse the tea set she bought for your daughter is not food grade.

They can be converted too. Just monitor the pH and don't overshoot your strike temp. The tincture of iodine test will tell you when they are converted. Don't mash them for longer than you need to.

Would the proper name of that religion be "Brewdaism" ? Because I would love to help establish that idea... Considering I am ordained and all.

How about the Church of Fermentology? We could hand out pamphlets.

On another note...
Back on topic.

When you trim back your beard, because you don't think you're worthy as you havn't brewing as often as you think you should.

You have widgets on your Android device that list your brewing needs and hop inventory.

When you drive the car to work Instead of the truck to save money for more fermenters and brew kits.(The truck is so much more fun to drive though). When half your fridge in your apartment contains 2 kegs and a co2 tank. When you die a little inside when someone asks if your brew tastes like Natty (toilet water brew for cheap college students)

Color note

When you have started kegging and you end up hauling a pickup truck load of bottles to the recycling center.

When you brew in the basement and wait eagerly for your dog to start growling at the floor register. A sure sign that primary has begun.

That's just common decency and ensuring you retain use of the kitchen later.

That's true, but I don't know many guys that will mop a floor, unless they are a home brewer.

When you try, and fail, to convince your SWMBO how awesome it was getting a ton of grolsch bottles at a dollar/bottle.

You play Words With Friends and are surprised when they don't accept "Trub" "Krausen" "Vorlauf" and other German brewing words.

Ha. I was furious about this. I could have played Brix to win.

When for your English informative essay you write about home brewing.

You see a big end-of-season clearance display of coolers and think, "Oh look. Mash tuns."

We have a few 5-gallon water coolers laying around the office for the field crews to take out, and every time I walk past one the phrase "mash tun" flashes through my brain. Every time.

When you wonder if converting swmbo to liking craft beer was a good decision because that's less beer for you

That's awesome! Not the diabetes. That sucks.

You know you're a home brewer when you mount a LCD monitor on the wall of your shed so you have better image when watching a movie during brewing

When you wake up from a dead sleep with the epiphany of what you need to do to fix a piece of stubborn brewing equipment. And then you go do it at 1AM.

When you spend more on brewing equipment and brew kits than you do on food.

when you use your specialty grains in baking

When your SWMBO's father passes away, and one of the first things that passes through your mind is designing a brew to tribute his life...

When you can't sleep without a bubbling airlock as white noise.
