You know you're a home brewer when?

When you insulate, dry wall, paint and decorate your entire garden shed to turn it into a brew house and all your yard tools, mower, snow blower, power washer, weed wackier etc have to go in your garage and your autos have to be parked in the driveway and ... This springs project is to paver the path to the brew house. We are so sick.

This is taking place at my house to my "brewery" lol. I even have my SWMBO calling it the "Brewery" when she says "Take this beer stuff off the counter and out to the Brewery!"

I turned my kids nursery into a pirate room. I didn't do a wine barrel crib, but I converted a wine barrel into his aquarium stand. Does that count?

Link to more pix while I was building it

insanim8er - Awesome! Captains quarters.

Very cool! Mine is in the works. Currently all the staves are in clamps to straighten, so will be a couple months before they go through the planer. Sorry, the only photo I have is of them in the clamps... not too exciting.

When you decide to use your sons nebulizer machine for his asthma to aerate my wort, did it this morning with sanitized line worked pretty good gave it 10 secs of air guess we will see if it was a success or failure

Here is a pic of the nebulizer I used it has a hepa filter inside of it so figured it would be good lol

I hope your kid didn't need it while you were using it... That would make you more than a home brewer

Nope he gets it at night now and only when he needs it, winter months are a ***** with him being sick with day care and getting upper respiratory problems so they got him on so asthma meds and this thing that might just come in handy for me lol so at least this bill can be counted for brewing and not just medical charge lol

Dont let your insurance know. They might decide that if it is partially for recreational rather than medical use that they will not cover all of it.
So, what are you calling this brew? Asthmatic Ale? Nebu-cyser?

10 seconds is what you do when you have pure O2 and a stone. In the future, I would go 5 minutes or until it is threatening to froth over the top of your vessel.

You go to a fast food restaurant and when they advertise "we're brewing all day" the first thing you think of is beer, not coffee.

When the smell of freshly crushed grain in the car on the way home from LHBS makes you salivate a little.

Every. Dang. Time.

Love that smell if I could bottle it I would use it as cologne not sure if I spelled that right lol

You type one brew buddy's name and your phone knows you need the other 5 to send the message.

When you see someone post something beer related that you don't have and it's something you "need" so you find a way to get it.

When your buddy says you must save a lot of money on beer and you openly laugh at such a ridiculous thought.
