It doesn't take much to get you guys off on a poop tangent !
You know you're a home brewer when?

I just rolled my eyes so much, my a$$ fell off
So either I misremebered (likely) or the stance has changed. My prior "knowledge" on this was from the discussion of the test plant for composted humanure in Ohio for use on feed-corn plots. It was a join venture of USDA, AEP and an Ethanol conglomerate. Talk about competing agenda's.
AEP wanted the composting done in a controlled environment to recapture the natural gas.
The USDA wanted it to succeed and use the same methods as pig and/cow manure so that farmers could use it in the same hoppers.
Ethanol conglomerate wanted it to fail...but only a little...so that they could have a cheap method of producing composted manure for their NON-feed corn.

You know you're a homebrewer when you check the recycling to make sure nobody threw out any beer bottles.

Well, my wife says her's smells like roses. I reply mine smells like hops.
It all comes full circle...
Badabing!

On reading back over our interaction, I have come to realize that I am at fault. Please accept my apology; I should know better than to give voice to my inner child.

No apologies necessary and no hard feelings. Just voicing an opinion, that's all.

YKYAHBW - you walk into a package store for the first time in years and realize that beer has somehow gotten even more expensive, and since it's so ridiculously expensive to buy beer, you can merit buying another SS perlick for your keezer since you are saving so much money by brewing instead of buying.

Back on topic.... Just bought a new house and you know it is meant to be when you find a half empty keg left in the garage and a Newcastle cap sign tucked away in the attic. AND since there is no outside storage, SWMBO agreed that the storage shed that needs to be built can be upgraded to a full brewshed!!!!!!!
Also, I have been wanting to start kegging and this just made it happen.

When you look forward to firing up your computer to read about the latest home brew follies and chat with your fellow beer folks right here.
Ha, home brew follies. I like that, rather descriptive. Then you realize it's Friday as well, so it's time to break out those home brews chillin' in the fridge! 
You know you're a home Brewer when youve mopped a ceiling. I know its been said, but I just had my first experience with it and had to come share. Went to unhook the liquid side of my root beer keg and the out post stuck. 30psi can make a pretty impressive geyser!

You start renting rooms out to transient (OK, short-term contract) workers to afford the bits for an electric BIAB build and a few more pounds of hops.
In my defense, I have rented many room in a private home when I was working on the road and all but once found it preferable to a motel/hotel/furnished apartment. Besides, the entire second floor of my house sits idle 95% of the year.

How about:
You take the first sip of what you thought was going to be your 'best brew yet', only to find your moment of bliss crushed by an overwhelming feeling of despair because you just realized you have 5 gallons of crap left!
Sent from hell
using Home Brew
When faced with this situation you make lemon's out of lemonade and realize you have 5 gallons of marinade base!
or it may be a candidate for a splash of bourbon to make it a cheaty bourbon barrel version. Have a keg of a stout that has a hint of a metallic flavor to it, a splash of borboun made it amazing.
Or any other dry hopping/randalling type of modification. Sometimes the flaws can be covered up or hidden or even turned into something good with a little tinkering.
You might be a home brewer if you don't know what these memes mean but you love them anyway. Keep 'em coming.

YKYAHB... when my wife's laundry room mysteriously begins to smell less like clean clothes and more like a frat house.
When you busy yourself in the brewery because you don't have any help to work on the car for testing.

When you realize that you have used up the vast majority of a $12 roll of Gorilla tape trying to get one more round out of your old bottle case boxes.

When your half way through siphoning your DIPA from your brew pot into a carboy and your brew pot falls off the top of your lauter tun and spills half your $50 beer all over the snow bank, leaving a crime scene looking mess of copper colored snow and boiled hops behind, and all you can think about is how lucky you are to have the other half left to enjoy.
When you use old white labs vials for salad dressing carriers to work

Or when you've trained your friends and family so well to keep empty bottles for you that you have to start turning them down and letting them know you don't need any more.
