Yes, it is possible. I have had a few occasions where a day or two after having some homebrewski, I'm on the toilet recreating the infamous laxative blowout scene from 'Dumb And Dumber.'
You know you're a home brewer when?

ever since the toilet paper scare of 2020! been using this combo, way better! the hell i'll give up probiotics!
Oh thank you for burning that one into my brain again....Yes, it is possible. I have had a few occasions where a day or two after having some homebrewski, I'm on the toilet recreating the infamous laxative blowout scene from 'Dumb And Dumber.'
Since all I drink is pretty much my own homebrew (along with water, and gatorade, but not much milk because that's worse than yeast to my gut) I pretty much do that every day. I've got to have the cleanest colon on my block....
you know you're a homebrewer when you want to ask what their FG is on a comment like that? you know dextrins work like soluble fiber, pass right through...maybe time for some gluco, or lower mash temps.....
You compare any store bought, restaurant, brewery, etc beer against your own homebrewed craft beer.

For whatever reason all this talk about fiber has me thinking of a skit from the 'Bob & Tom' radio show about a laxative beer called Shat's.
When you're out of Bud, tough Shat's?

All the gents tip their hats to the man who's drinking Shat's. To the man who needs some fiber in his food...

OH MY GOSH! Things are making so much sense right now!
When your wife is doing laundry and she yells at you because she found a couple hop pellets in one of your pockets... The best part is she brews with me and loves the hobby too so she then says "pretty sure its simcoe"

How about you start trying to sell items, or even GIVE them away to clear space in the room you ferment in so that you can add another conical (or maybe two?). I'm pretty much in that position now. I need to create some available space so that I can add at least one more and NOT have it interfere with the rest of the process (canning finished beer). Selling stuff would be preferred since $$ gained from that will be used in the purchase of new brewing gear.

You know you're a home brewer when THIS is your idea of "foamy"
Full disclosure:
English bitter brewed yesterday. Was calm at ~5pm. Checked at 7:45pm and it had blown the Starsan solution to just into the vent holes. Added to it to get to the level you see and it hit this level of foam in not more than a minute.

When you drink a lot of great beer and you made it all.
How about when you buy cheap $5 vodka to use in the airlock? Works better then starsan which bubbles and is blown out. .
You package a batch, realize you’re not busy the rest of the day, and think about brewing so you can fill up the fermenter again.

Here's an interesting (and disgusting) story, but it immediately reminded me of this thread. This week, myself and another maintenance guy had to pull a sewage grinder/pump from a sewage pit in the basement of one of our buildings. Too many non-flushable wipes get flushed and clog it. We disconnected the PVC union at the check valve and the PVC nut and rubber seal fell into the sewage pit (4-5ft deep with 3ft of liquid/solids in it). All I had was an old broom handle and a pair of those reacher/grabber tools, and I was not having a great time trying to blindly fish the nut and seal out of the the bottom of this mess.
Then it hit me....whirlpool!

...when a box of parts arrives from BrewHardware.com, and you can't remember what project you ordered them for.
I think this one has been done before, but...you know you're a homebrewer when you resist buying some brands of craft bottled beer because the labels won't come off easy. FYI Sierra Nevada labels come off if you just look at them funny.
My last few beer runs have been for Sierra Nevada bottles specifically, even though the selection on the east coast is such a bummer. Nectarine ale in a variety pack, come on Grossman

I feel like I see less of Sierra Nevada varieties on the east coast than I used to (MA, here). I haven't seen their porter in forever, if they even still make it.
Also, I go for Pilsner Urquell, even though it's less than 12oz each, because I can MURDER a 12 pack.

When you wife says, "why do we have 4 refrigerators in the house"?
i had to correct it, "for my taste"....lol i know i'm homebrew when i call no man "god", i don't care if it's swill as long as i'm drinking on my feet, and not my knees!
LOL, when i want to bottle something when someone really wants to try it..i just buy a 20oz coke, dump it out refill it, and give it to them label intact...(see above!

Everyone remarks how short-tempered you are, and the common suggestion is, "Why don't you go to the garage and make some beer?"
Others enjoy your craft beer so much they offer to pay for it.
I laugh, thank them and say "I can't charge, but you can have a much as you want for free." The looks I then get!

I get that a lot, when I tell people I make beer. 9 times out of 10 the first comment is, "do you sell it?". Or my favorite, "I didn't think that was legal!".
You keg 3 gallons and have about two quarts extra that you pour into a pitcher and have as a post-kegging treat. Hooray for spunding!
The first question I usually get is “How long does it take?” And the second question is just about always “Can you make it as strong as you want? How do you make it stronger?”
You take a cardboard beer box off someone’s trash because you have more empty bottles than boxes
You know when you’re a homebrewer when you spend a little more for a small office fridge that has no freezer compartment and think to yourself when i retire in a few years I can use this for a small batch fermentation chamber.

I'm actually looking to get a mini fridge for the cans of homebrew to keep them out of the food fridge and give me back space in the keezer.
Looks great. What make and model did you go with?
This one, it is shorter than counter height, so definitely for small batches. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-2-5-cu-ft-retro-mini-fridge-baby-blue/6445076.p?skuId=6445076z

This is the one I got: Beers of the World Fridge
A few weeks later I went and got another small no-freezer fridge on Craigslist, because one beer fridge was not enough. (Turns out that two is not enough either, but I'm running out of space to put them.)
Getting back to the theme of this thread: You know you're a homebrewer when you discover that two beer fridges are not enough.

I saw that, but it won't arrive fast enough for me.
Worst Buy has this one available for delivery to me (early next week). Holds "130" cans (we know they only count with 12oz cans, so using 16oz blows that number away).
You know you're a homebrewer when you're looking at where to place a new beer can fridge and decide it should be able to replace the new microwave cart that you got not even two weeks before.
