[Golddiggie]

When you start researching your next recipe while chilling the wort.

You wait that long??? I have recipes formulated for the next 6-8 batches now. The order is subject to change, and minor tweaking can happen right up until when I mill the grain, but I at least have a solid idea of what I'm brewing next, and a few after that.

 

[RedGuitar]

I know what I'm going to brew for the rest of the year. But I don't start putting the recipe together until after I brew the recipe I just put together.

[Sparqui]

When you write a database, make a website on your PC so that you can enter data from your iPhone, and use it on brew day to track the styles, OGs and names of your brothers in law and nephews that are brewing with you. All data entry is done via iPhone in the back yard as measurements are taken.

When trying new beers, you don't say if you like or dislike.

It's,"I'd brew that." or "I don't think I'd want five gallons of that."

Your wife takes old White Labs vials full of salad dressing for her lunch at work.
When you check new kitchen faucets to make sure you can attach your bottle washer adapter before you buy it.
When you stay up until 3 AM bottling 10 gallons of beer the morning of your double hernia surgery because you know it'll be weeks before the wife lets you do anything and you'll be out of real beer long before then.

[jmlabeck]

I was enjoying this thread, thinking, "I'm not like that." Then, I remembered this one time, I stood next to the bottle return at my local supermarket. Some guy came up with a cart full of empties. I bought them from him (5-cents each) so I would have more bottles to fill.

So, never mind. I guess I am.

I'd love to have my bottles for 5 cents apiece.
