70- Remove the aerator from the bathroom faucet for IC and neglect to put it back on. A few hours later they go to the bathroom and get sprayed all over with water when they use the faucet.

71.) Reminding her that she was the one who bought me the starter kit for Christmas in the first palce
Yeah, #4 pretty much makes me lol every time I think about it.

I've only made like 4 brews so far and my wife's already aware and asks "what is sanitized and shouldn't be touched?" when I'm doing anything.

I was bottling last week and was in the middle of siphoning from my fermenter to my bottling bucket and SWMBO saw my hands completely tied up and the top of my boxers hanging out and decided to give me a wedgie! Grrrr!!!! WTF? There is not much worse for sanitation than having to adjust your underwear in the middle of siphoning. Then a little while later she decided to start picking up sanitized bottles with her dirty hands just to look at them like as if she had never seen an empty beer bottle before. Grrr!!!! She will learn!
Ha! Siphon Wedgie!
To be fair, I don't see how picking up bottles is going to make them unsanitary

70. Leave a tap handle cracked open all night so that 4+ gallons of beer drains out all over the floor and soaks the oriental rug...twice.
Come to think of it, that pisses me off too, though probably for different reasons.

Leave a bucket under your taps. And if you leave it open, make yourself drink it all.

If you drink a bucket of beer, you might have a hard time remembering to put the bucket back and are more likely to leave the tap open...

It probably won't, but I'd prefer to not have any unnecessary touching from dirty hands, especially around the neck and rim of the bottles.

72. Make hubby cap the bottles and freak out every time he drops a cop that he can't use it (like he hasn't figured it out already)
73. Micro-manage hubby cleaning and sanitizing the bottles, which he is only doing since you complain he never helps out
74. Brew more of the beer you like than the beer he likes, even though he drinks more beer than you do...

Immediately alternate buckets and then suffer through more of your failure if you the problem persists.
Sanitation Nazi!!!

Turn the wintertime heat in the house down to 64 degrees F - "So the homebrew won't have off flavors and fusels" when you are too cheap / to poor on space to build a fermentation chamber.
Don't sweat it man, I keep it at 60 - 62 in the house because i don't want to pay for the excess heat....That money already went right into the fermentation chamber

Thats not a bad idea - but the real issue is that to hit ~64 I occasionally have to run the AC in winter...

75.) Doing a starter with DME and stinking up the house when it boils. SWMBO HATES that smell with a passion. Especially before I started using larger flasks and had some boil overs. DME + electric burners = pissed SWMBO.

I've done these and while #20 doesn't make her blow her top, it can make her boil up enough to where coupling with #21 would send the pyroclastic flow coming straight from her mouth.
And yeah, I have done both. Marriage is really all about the fine art of saying you're sorry all of the time.

76. Leaving the fermenting bucket in the middle of the kitchen so you can watch the airlock bubble. +1 for reminding them how quickly the bubbles started.
77. Yelling across the house, telling SWMBO to come sniff the airlock.

#78 after the second to last child moves out of the house, fill up the boys bedroom with new brewery stuff and refuse to let anyone sleep in that room again.
#79 buy a new (used) refrigerator everytime a friend wants to get rid of their old ones or they are just sitting by the side of the road. also becoming real good friends with the guy that owns the used appliance store near you.
#80 running 4 full size fridges all the time and causing your electric bill to stay in the mid $300's to $400 Every Month because of you brewing.

True but think of all the money you are saving by brewing your own beer. :cross:

That's one of the few things SWMBO likes about me brewing beer! Since I do actually make it cleaner than when I started (can't brew around a mountain of dishes!)

82) Leave your new 2l flask in the middle of the table and insist that "it is a "decorative centerpiece. No, you can't move it."

Just tell her "it's sanitized, don't touch please" and see how long till she realizes you're pulling her leg.

83) When SWMBO leaves town, order a used whiskey barrel, have it delivered while she is out of town, place it on the dining room table to admire it for all its glory, forget about it, and have SWMBO see it on the precious table.

OMG that is too funny. I just watched Paranormal Activity last night and started laugh at the thought of a horror movie where the actual "spirit" is beer bombs blowing up.

I purposely drink homebrew (or any beer) in an effort to build up as much gas as possible and then I continue to chase SWMBO around the house to fart on her. Shlt is so cash. She's taken after me and tries to do the same to me when she can. We're awesome

beer -just brew it
86) do stove top all grain with 3 stock pots in the winter and the condensation makes it rain from the ceiling.
