You will suddenly develop an interest in the syrup/honey aisle at your grocery store.

Take the burner apart and check to see if there is anything inside clogging up the flow. Maybe even dremel it a little smoother.

It may seem like homebrewing will save you money, but in the end you'll end up spending more in equipment and upgrades.
Yet, you won't care because you're making some damn good beer!

and your own definition of what constitutes a "dark" beer will change!

You will spend 10X more time doing reading, research, studying, and learning about beer than you EVER did about ANYTHING ELSE in school.
The hardest thing you'll ever do is to convince a BMC drinker that there's more to beer than pilsner & lager from big companies.

You will occasionally buy a bomber of beer specifically for the coolness of the bottle and the prospect of bottling your own beer in it.
In fact, many of your beer purchases will revolve around ease of label removal and lack of twist off caps.

The amount of physical space taken up by your brewing equipment is directly proportional to the number of beers you've brewed...

....You purchase a 12 pack of something commercial just because you've never tasted it before... only to realize that it tastes like Heineken (damn you newcastle founders ale). Then justify the purchse with "Those are some nice brown non-screw-top-bottles - I'll be using those bitches fo shure!".
You never stop coming up with new brew ideas,even though you've set your mind to going back & brewing favorites.

You constantly worry if the shelves in the closet need to be reinforced to hold the weight of the hundreds of bottles of homebrew.

You will say that next time you are going to write up a brew day schedule, but you won't.
Seeing someone drinking straight from their bottle at a bar suddenly seems so wrong.
This one is SO true! No more Leiny for the wife, and I bought a couple Dead Guy Ale 1/2 gallons because they were $6.99, and "the bottle is worth that alone!"

So true, I have spent more time reading books about yeast and brewing chemistry than I ever did studying for any science class both in high school or college.

In my city I don't think you can even buy beer in a bomber or 1/2 gallon. Hell, I've never even seen one before, for that matter! I wish I could find a couple!
Oh... and that's another "Homebrewing Truth"! You often discover new things you want on a HBT.com thread!

You are not a true homebrewer until you have used a mop on a ceiling.

unlike sex during the mesozoic era, you will not wind up with dinosaurs all over your peener.

you won't blink twice about buying a $7 bottle of beer and placing it in your beer collection to wait for that "rainy day" to open it and try it against your own similar style.
you will be asked, "How can every conversation end up talking about beer?"

It is hard to siphon your freshly fermented goodies into a bottling bucket when both containers are sitting at the same level. 'Why all the bubbles? It doesn't appear to be siphoning correctly....' 'Huh, that's weird, just keep with it....wait, put the bucket down here.... Huh, imagine *that*.' Hmmm indeed. Science and all...

Even though SWMBO will bi7(h at you alot about making a mess on brew day, when all said and done that beer will keep her quiet and happy

So, so true!
Corollary: if SWMBO doesn't drink, you will not be brewing in the kitchen at all. (fortunately, I have a large covered patio where I prefer to brew anyway)
