Or just say "body" without consequences and be done with it.
Did I mention I drive a $1000 beater and do not lock doors because I leave nothing of value in it...except there. They sell also sell cocks, defeathered on order with a propane torch while you wait.

You have 20# of hops in the freezer and convince yourself you need 10 more pounds.

Keep HBT weird.
When you're still finding tiny shards of glass in your storage area from a bottle bomb you had 4 years ago.

When you run straight through the screen door to avoid a boil over.

When you stare at the coffee percolating in the morning and wonder what kind of efficiency you're getting from a medium grind...
Go ahead, check the fg of your coffee. What you need to be worried about is tannins from too fine a grind

I step mash my French press. 2-3 minutes at 180, super thick bed, and then 4 minutes at 200, full volume.
I'm getting great extraction.

Like how you Bean stand that $hit at 180 but think of the delicate oil aromatics you lose by going back up to 200
But then in the end you question if it is really better than just a high quality burr grinder and a pour-over carafe...at a straight 180 f.
Sounds like a Brulosopher experiment ...
When you say (and/or understand the reference) something like this!

Your non homebrewing friends are hanging out while you brew a batch and no matter how many times you hear "Dude, you know you can just go down to the store and buy beer". You justify it with as many explanations as times you hear it.
Just keep at it. Soon they will understand why just buying beer at the store isn't as good. That, or you need smarter friends

You know you're a homebrewer when you look at a 2 liter of Pepsi or Coca Cola and ponder what would happen if you replaced a gallon or two of water in your next recipe with it. 
No. Just no. If that's what makes someone know they're a homebrewer, then I'll never, ever, ever, be a homebrewer. Ever.
When your wife mentions something about "cage free eggs", and you hear "age free kegs"

you know you're a homebrewer when you hear someone mention "cage free eggs" and you think, "why the EFF would eggs need to be in a cage in the first place? where the EFF are they going to go?"
no. wait. that's when you know someone's trying to bull**** you
Yes! And when they're playing with toy pots and pans and such they're "making beer."
Mine started "making beer" on his toy grill when he was about 2 1/2!
You can do that with bread too. Or any number of things.
You know you're a home brewer when (in no specific order):
1. Your daughters ask if there are hops in their pancakes.
2. When you're drinking iced tea (well any drink really) and they ask if it is beer.
3. You're at the grocery store and want to know if we are going to the beer section. When we do or just walk by, they make a big scene about the beer.
4. When you do go into the beer section they want you to buy the beer with the cool labels (i.e. ones with mermaids).
5. When you receive a package in the mail or come home with something, they ask "Did you get more beer stuff"?

That list pretty much covers everything, yeah. Time to shut this one down. We are done here.
When after brewing and barrel aging an oatmeal stout for your son's 21st birthday, your 16 year old proposes brewing 3 years of lambic to blend a gueze for his 21st (Planning ahead I guess)

An Ode to Beer
...because then we'd have endless arguments over glass vs plastic, and there would be an endless thread of wounds from broken glass doors.
You are happy you were only kegging tonight and not brewing. My racking cane got clogged or something with hops. Starting the siphon then blew the tip off into the keg (that stays until the keg kicks). Then when cleaning, you break the racking cane removing the hose. I'll get a stainless one now. Good thing I wasn't brewing.
Hopefully the beer didn't get too much oxygen...ha! I doubt it matters, the hydrometer sample was already good. That keg won't last long.

Ha exactly what happens in my house.
My two year old daughter likes to classify things and will ferquently say "Daddy's toys outside. Daddy's toys hot. Daddy's toys make Daddy's Juice"
I've taught her so well
