Losing my mind?

[sudsmonkey]

Lately, everything smells like boiling wort. I caught a whiff of some oranges in the breakroom at work yesterday. Smelled kinda hoppy. Mrs. Monkey was making soup the other night. Something smelled like beer. I just scooped some dry dog food out for Spot, you guessed it, caught a beer smell.

My beer doesn't normally smell like dog food or soup, but for some reason, these things are triggering my beer alarm.

Help me!

I don't see a problem here..

I wish everything smelled like beer!

I think your subconscious is telling you that you need to brew more often.

maybe some wort splashed under your nose the last time you brewed and you haven't washed your face since....

 

[bigjohnmilford]

sounds like you need to brew or drink or both.

I agree with the others! Apparently your subconscious monkey is telling you "brew more". The only cure is to do what it asks; otherwise, even your ice cream will smell like beer. Brew, Mr. Monkey, BREW!

I just brewed weekend before last. Bottling Sunday. Maybe it is time for another one, but I still feel strange having phantom beer slipping up on me like that. Maybe I have a tumor? Maybe it's an obsession?

You know you're a serious brewer when...everything smells like wort.

And you look at something like a kid's juice box and say..."I can ferment that!"

I like the way you think!

It ain't just a hobby.....it's an obsession...

I'm finding that the grocery store is taking on a whole new meaning...

Coconut Milk...hmm I bet I could ferment that... Cabbage juice? Hell no, but that bottle could be used to make starters...Juice box? Yeah...we're sick aren't we?

Dude, I've made wine from canned peaches and raisins. Anything's possible in the world of alcohol!
Brewer= highly functional alcoholic with some skills

I found a podcast on Prison Winemaking that would be right up your alley then!

All you need is Big black garbage bag, Ketchup packs, juice boxes, fruit peels, a semi clean sock and some moldy bread

No, you're just nuts.

Hey, slow down! I'm trying to write all this down! M-O-L-D-Y B-R-E-A-D....

I got into brewing and just kinda tested the limits. Reminds me of when I was a kid and we tried smoking some of my Mom's Japanese Maple. Don't try it. Tastes like burning leaves!
