Wife is talking about buying a good commuter bike.
I said that sounded like a great idea.... all the while I was planning what brew equipment I would get to buy to keep things 'even' in our budget.
Hope she gets a nice one!!

Marriage is compromise! I'd get her a conical fermentor type bike[emoji481][emoji481][emoji481][emoji481][emoji481]
Yeh... until she comes home with 2 matching bikes and then hints that you could use a little exercise. She'll say it's something fun for you two to do together. She'll be so excited, and then you'll have to agree.
See ya later, conical.

Or you could flip it around and see it as she spent twice as much.

Get her a stationary bike and hook it to your grinder
when mega brewery wants to buy you out
When you watch an episode of Moonshiners on Dicovery channel and think to yourself that branch he's using to stir the mash isn't sanitary.
When your stop in a local brew pub for the first time, try their Double IPA, and sit there thinking about how your own IPAs taste better. Then proceed to only have one and head home to drink your own beer.

When you go on a business trip to Germany, see all the swingtop bottles they sell with no extra premium, and start thinking about how many can fit in your suitcase (and what you'll say to Customs when you get diverted to secondary).

An Ode to Beer
When you are out for dinner at an upscale place and see Westy 12 on the menu for $75 and think "bless that, I'll make my own!"
Lol!

When you buy a local beer because it it has a shrink wrap label that's easy to remove so that you can reuse the bottle (with no regard for the taste).

when homebrewing is the only situation in which you burn the **** out of yourself.
when I don't have to guess twice what the first thing that pops into your head is, when you see this

When you keep staring at your yeast starter on the stir plate because it's hypnotic like a lava lamp.

when taking out the brew system is just as rewarding/exciting as being able to put it away clean at the end of the day !!

When you have over 200 bottles but don't bottle anymore but are running out of kegs! Oh well time to buy a bottle straw I guess!

The dealbreaker for me is ridiculous carriage to Finland... Germany would be somewhat feasible but then again why would I buy a cooking pot if for the same amount of money I could get a Klarstein Beerfest.

When your first thought in the am and also when you get home is "don't forget to switch out the ice bottles in the swamp cooler"...

When you're working 55-65 hour weeks and you use one weekend day to put in a brew day.
When you can't sleep and your thoughts turn to "wonder what's happening on the hbt forums."

This happens way too often. Hence why I'm always on here, haha.

When you find that your pocket knife is crammed with kernels of barley. They must have gotten there while I was opening a sack of Maris Otter last Friday.
When you ask everyone you know if they have a pressure cooker. They ask "what beer project are you working on now"? Then proceed to tell you they don't have one.
Trying to make starter wort that's ready to pitch when needed.

Also, your kegerator dies and you are frantically looking for a replacement fridge. Like obsessively looking. Especially since you have 10 gallons fermenting and your cringe at thinking you're going to have to bottle it all.
You can move this to a keg and add the same priming sugar you would use for bottling. 3 weeks at room temperature and it will be ready to go, just like a giant bottle. So technically, you have 3 weeks to find a fridge!

You pull out an old deep fryer to make some delicious French fries and you wonder if you could repurpose the element to go ebiab.

Good point, I will keep that in mind. Never naturally carbonated in a keg before, but theres always a first for everything.
Thanks for the suggestion!
