When you take off for a long drive and get home at 10pm just to score a couple 5gal corny kegs for $12.5/ea
You know you're a home brewer when?

Me and swmbo were at costco last week and she was concerned about buying too much fruit. All I said was I'll make some mead out of what left and that was the end of her concern.

No, but 75 is still hot. What are you brewing? A saison?
When you are so impatient that you buy a webcam to monitor your fermentors while you are at work especially for detecting 1st signs of life!!

That's because you are not bugging her enough during the day to check for you
you love your empty bottles more then your wife!!
When your power goes out the first thing you plug into the generator is your fermentation fridge.
When your mom comes to visit you and she decides to help out around the house and puts a bunch of empty beer bottles in the recycle and you end up having to dig thru it and grab all the bottles out.

Because in her mind she knows you are checking to see if shes doin her job as breweing assistant
"Sometimes Im right half of the time ...."
When SWMBO tells you specifically not to grow hops but you buy the crowns anyways because the wrath of SWMBO is worth the joy of growing hops.

No no I'm brewing a nut brown. I'm fermenting at 65 right now. I'm saying the hot to the touch represents the 75-80. Cause I had a beer turn to **** from a high ferm

While walking around Home Depot your wife asks if you are looking for something for the house or for making beer!

So you're disobeying she who must be obeyed? I think you've forfeited the right to use that acronym.

Pfff.... Every time I leave the house mine asks, "where are you going? To pick up more brewing stuff?"

Agreed
... you spend more time on this forum than your wife does on Facebook.

That's nearly impossible. I have to spend SOME time working
Ah yes, the classic delay of shipping. Plagues many online shoppers alike. Not as bad as watching the ETA be perfectly on schedule with "anticipated deliver" Friday morning, until you log on Friday morn and see it postponed until Monday. Mocking you. With all other information updated to hide the 3 day delay, just poof: no stuff for you.
Glad I'm not the only one bothered by this. Man, I just wanted to plan out my details with the actual ingredients in my hands!
. And really glad my order wasn't scheduled to arrive Friday!Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

When you have bottles sitting at your desk all day from a client who returned them to you.

It was a clone attempt at a Tallgrass firkin I had. Here is the recipe thread. There is also another thread that is linked at the bottom of the page of my attempt. Its quite good

Are those... rinsed bottles that were returned to you? And with no fuzziness growing inside? People actually do that? Woah. You trained this client well.

Haha he is a homebrewer as well so he understands
That was my other guess. Still an impressive feat. Heck, with fellow homebrewers I would just say to keep the bottles and reuse and then give a few full ones back instead.

When you haven't brewed since July 2013 and you throw a brew session party this weekend! (life got in the way)
I have a regular who does this without needing to be reminded. Though on beer gift day one the speech was "If any of these come back not rinsed with a bunch of crud stuck on the bottom, you're cut off." At the guild homebrew, wine, and mead are always around so everybody knows the routine about keeping vessels in good shape. Even the non-brewers will instruct a newcomer to the flow of things. Turns out it's another way this group is so special to me.
