You know you're a home brewer when?

When you are disappointed because you thought the masseuse said hoppy ending.

you are starting to get fat

You have nightmares about a stuck sparge, and you don't even brew all-grain.

One of your patients stops by to drop off an article on craft and home brewing.

When you are sitting in a chair in your brew room looking at your Primary's and secondary's and your wife come's in and ask how your kids are.



and then says "Honey I think you might have a problem" to which you respond "Ya I all my primary's are full and I wanted to brew this weekend"

When you think stainless is a prettier metal than gold or silver.

This makes too much sense! I have way more money invested in stainless than I do gold or silver.

When you get a tad annoyed because SWMBO says you need to do something about moving your Brew Room because you need to use it as a "Spare Bedroom"...or something like that.

People call you a beer snob, because you enjoy making good beer and not drinking horse piss!

When you wife is ticked because she is tired of listening to the stir-bar ticking in the kitchen.

Or your better half asks 'So, where are you going to put all this???' And I say 'Well, obviously here and here''.... to which he replies 'Oh, okay.' Please note this is in his man-cave (garage). Either he really loves me, or loves the fact that I make beer...not another word said.

He's awesome, btw.

I meant to add.... Come on, who needs a spare bedroom? Turn it into beer storage, your guests will be too soused to care....

Your a homebrewer when you neighbors call you in to the police as making drugs while your brewing beer

inorite!

It's really much cooler in there than any other place in the house so when I need to move my fermenters from the guest bathtub it makes me cry a little inside.



You know you might be a homebrewer when you would seriously consider wearing a cologne that smelled like fresh hops...if they made it.

I would put it on.. mmmmmm hops

When the ONLY thing you read is beer forums...

The guy at the LHBS knows your voice when you call and has a pen ready for your order.

When the only gardening activity you enjoy is checking on your hop plants.

When beer becomes an extended part of your family.

When the phone rings at 2AM and your offered $50 for a case of homebrew.

In one of my recent issues of Beer Magazine they had an article on how to make aftershave out of you favorite hops. Haven't tried it yet. Looks pretty interesting.

When the Hop on Hop off city tour bus sign reminds you of brewing...

When you see an artichoke in the grocery store and for a second you think, "Man, that's the biggest hop I've ever seen!"

When you educate people on how to pour a brew correctly.

When you can place your glass of brew on your stomach and remove your hands.

When your in the middle of having sex and your watching your airlock bubble.

You check these forums while on the merry-go-round with your daughter at Disney world

your fingers have yellow stains (from iodine)

the best tuesday night is brew night

When you can't decide what beer to bring holdiay get-together and find out that 5 corny kegs can actually fit in the trunk of an '84 Lincoln Town Car.
(if you leave the spare tire home)

What, you can't stack them on top of each other???

When you've got no rood for food in your fridge... haha.

when you spell "room" "rood" you are a homebrewer that has been sampling

Not that I have never misspelled anything on this forum


or how about... when everyone that samples your brew says "I would pay for some of that" which leads to a long conversation about how thats not legal, but one day you would like to get licensed.

Cant remember who posted this one, and am too lazy to look it up, but just wanted to restate my all time favorite;

You know know you're a homebrewer when
"you estimate SRM at the urinal"

When you often replace supper with beer to (reduce and thin the pipeline herd) to make room for new breeds.

When you watch a TV show like Storage Wars - Texas and notice a Bayou Classic Kettle in the storage unit they just opened..
