You know you're a home brewer when?

Flying Dog made a beer this summer using Old Bay. I don't think it ever left Maryland though.

 

[Cheesy_Goodness]

...When you talk about making malt vinegar on purpose! :rockin:

I was just thinking about doing this the other day. Is it as simple as taking a malty beer, adding a mother, and letting it work?

I've also just diluted to 5% and left it open to the air, with a piece of panty host over the mouth of the jar to keep the fruit flies out. Took about the months.

find it all around here in Northern VA.

then again, we're only 40 miles from the brewery

Dead Rise wasn't that bad, but OB is for crabs, not beer, thankyouverymuch.

We're discussing it in another thread here. Check it out for some answers. I'm just trying to put it all together myself. I miss Arthur Treacher's fish & chips with their malt vinegar!:rockin:

At a recent tasting put on by my LHBS a friend brought some homemade balsamic vinegar. Actually it was quite tasty.

That's basically how my wife describes it.

You might be a homebrewer then you use this to make your coffee, and wonder if the 175F strike water temp takes into account the thermal mass of the device and the grounds.

 

[Zepth]

... When you walk into your fermentation room and the smell coming from your DIPA damn near chokes you. And you love it.

 

[cjgenever]

When you're at the symphony and start starring at the timpanis with thoughts of breaking it down into a copper kettle...

 

[unionrdr]

When you watch orchestral music videos & it times up with airlock bubbles. Also when you start home brewing, then go on to writing about it.

When your at an inlaws anniversary party and they ask how long till the keg kicks and you pick up the half leg and say there is about 2 gals left from lifting your keggle around

Hopefully she isn't speaking metaphorically.

 

[Qhrumphf]

When a "your beer exploded" call from your wife references a fermenter blowing its lid and making a mess, not a bottle. Or could reference a bottle too. But not in this case.

When you have cask ale at home.

...you spend days & weeks building projects that can be used for nothing else.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

when you're looking though a gardening catalog wondering what you should grow for beer flavoring.

 

[Monkey-BB]

When your back yard lawn looks like it has a disease from all the burnt grass spots from the IC OUT.

When you go to a party and bring a bag of pellet hops and toss a couple in every miller lite you drink.

Bert Grant was said to have carried a bottle of hop oil in his pocket to add to his beer.

 

[Hoosierbrewer]

When you go to buy someone some beer and you have to tell the person trying to help you that you do not know anything about most of the brewers that they have beer from. One girl started to describe beers to me today like I did not know anything about beer. I had to stop her and tell her I brew my own beer and have not bought any in a long while. I just did not know 2/3rds of the brewers.

Another one would be when you discover that beer is 10.99 a sixer and you are complaining that there is no way the beer is worth that amount. I can make a 5 gallon batch for under $15 for certain styles.

When you get laid off and tell everyone it's no problem because you finally have time to brew again.

You almost burn down the house because the tag on your turkey fryer burner caught fire when you weren't looking on a windy day.

LOL... Did that happen because you're a home brewer? Or just because you drank too many home brews...

when every time you make oatmeal you say to yourself, "time to mash in"

 

[JONNYROTTEN]

When you refer to your mother in law as "The old wort" or "chiller"

:sly: I thought I was alone:beer:

 

[Sailingeric]

You drive by your neighbors bottle recycling bin real slow to see if there are any usable to bottles.

 

[Helly]

My brother in law was talking about how fine he grinds his coffee. 'Like flour,' he said. I told him he'd better be careful or he'd get a stuck sparge.

 

[unionrdr]

When you are once again caught up in researching another extinct German beer style.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

when you get kicked out of your local grocery store for talking to the fruit & cream instant oatmeal about what career path they chose and how they're not living up to their potential in beer.




wait... this is the "You know you're a crazy person when?" thread, right?

 

[zmanzorro]

Might have been said before I haven't read all the pages but your Facebook year in review is mainly comprised of brewing and fermenting pictures
