TOP 20 Reasons…You know you're a homebrewer if . . .

If you plan your family vacations by which breweries you can visit.
If you have more airlocks than the international space station.
If you have more kegs than your average fraternity.
If you've kept a log of the temperature in your basement for the past 5 years.
If the presence of a basement was a major factor in the selection of your new home.
If your 5 acre yard is completely mulched with spent grains.
If you have multiple propane tanks but only use charcoal grills.
If you own more stainless steel than your local hospital.
If you have more than two refrigerators.
If you hear someone say "sock hop" and you think they're dyslexic.
If your neighbors think you started a bottle recycling center.
If you name your new puppy "Fuggles" or "Growler".
If you've ever bought a case of beer saying, "I paid for the bottles, the beer comes with them for free."
If someone says they've had a yeast infection and you ask what they were brewing at the time.
If you've ever bought returnable beer bottles with no intention of EVER returning them.
If you've ever used a mop on a ceiling.
If you've ever tried to improve a Budweiser by stirring in a hop pellet.
If you wander through the aisles of the grocery store saying to yourself "I wonder if that would ferment."
If your idea of international diplomacy is combining Belgian yeast with British malts and German hops.
If you measure beer in gallons.
 
Very nice! I scored 20/20!
Well, ok. 19.5/20 - I don't have 5 acres. But it is mulched with spent grains.
 
Oh, c'mon you guys ACTUALLY have dogs named fuggles or growler! I call Shenanigans! Dog tag pics....

I can only rightfully claim 12
 
My dogs name is buzz. He will bark if you ask, "Buzz, do you want a beer?"

Agh good catch! You are right, I don't have him YET. But I'm getting SWMBO a kitten for Christmas..... and I'm either getting myself a kitten too, OR getting a dog. Either way, it will be named Amarillo. :)

And to be fair, I don't have as much S/S as the local hospital. It's a big hospital.

So, amend my previous statement to 18/20.
-1 for the hospital, -0.5 for the 5 acres, but still using it as compost, and -0.5 for the not having the dog yet. But isn't intent 2/5 the law, with possession being the other 3/5?
 
I can only claim a few of those.

I have 7 kegs, don't know how many a college fraternity has.
I have asked myself if something will ferment.
I do have a sh!tton of bottles
My dog's name is Barley.
