The hard lemonade is in the toilet tank. I'm going to gravity feed it into a 3 gallon corny for serving. I guess in my pic, I cut out the part of the tank lid that I drilled out for an airlock

I'm barely getting away with it. Now that winter is here, we spend most of our time upstairs, where this bathroom is. I use this bathroom for my cider because I've been using 3711, and don't want any temperature control. Whenever I have a cider actively fermenting, this bathroom is a real stink bomb, so my wife has been complaining lately. Now that I have my seed bank going, and a cider actively fermenting, she bitches every time she's in there. I kinda told her the only other option is our bedroom, so she let's me leave it up there. I'm weeks away from doing the downstairs bathroom over, so this bathroom is going to have to be cleared out for daily use, so I'm gonna have to come up with another option soon

When you find yourself rinsing out bottles even when you plan to throw them away.
I even wash them and drain them on the bottle tree before throwing them into the recycling bin.

When watching Breaking Bad, and see Hank almost shoot his wifes face off, you think "Wow, bottle bombs are way more dangerous when youre a homebrewing cop".

Definitely in the process of doing this..
When you keep looking at the FV's,realize they're empty,then over to that nearly 3 case stack of maturing beers. Not to mention lookin at that sturdy plastic 1G jug that's screaming for calibrations for filling the BK.:rockin:
When you are in your living room, or anywhere else in your home, and you here a strange and sudden noise and the first thing you do is run to see if your carboys/bottles exploded.
Happened to me just the other day.

Even my deodorant has hops in it.

The product reviews on there don't sound to good.
Or when you have a decicated beer fridge right beside the house fridge, and it has more in it than the house fridge. And your on the lookout for a bigger fridge and a chest freezer to ferment in.

Or when you're using all of your beer equipment during down time to show how useful it is to have all this stuff around, and should in fact be buying more stuff.
-Cleaning baby bottles with PBW
-Sanitizing nipples (bottle nipples not mine, although why not)
-Pouring juice in your kid's cup from an auto siphon
-Using your fermenting bucket as a drum and/or toy box

+1. My 25 cu ft. one year old Stainless Steel Fridge is mostly full with yeast bottles (from washing yeast), beer, hops (until I can get them downstairs to the freezer) and spent grains (to make spent grain bread).
Hah. That's awesome.
HA! And I thought I was the only one...back right before my second was born we got out all the old bottle stuff, and I filled up the util sink and soaked everything, then right after (why waste a good sinkfull of cleaning solution), in goes a batch of Daddy's bottles!

My 1 and a half year old discovered this herself. The brew spoon makes a perfect drumstick.
When you're watching a cooking show with your wife, and they're making a beer batter with a "mild" beer and you start ranting about them using a light lager and not a sessionable English brown.

When you finish a batch and all you can think about is when you're gonna start your next one. Is two days too little time in between batches??
When you're watching a cooking video on youtube,& they used a SS stock pot & palm sugar in the boil part. And you start thinking hmmm....
