...when Brewday has become your favorite holiday of the year. Month.
Perhaps intentionally schedule brew days on the monthly full moon and the equinoxes/solstices and call it a religion?????

Didn't the Belgians already beat us to that stage?
Yeah, I think the Trappist monks probably had 365 holidays a year... minus 52 days of rest.
You have 6 weeks to drink your pipeline before the move. You fall 4 gallons short.

You're a real homebrewer when you are not willing to sacrifice your pipeline just for a move. Had my buddies haul 4 full fermentors and 2 full kegs down a fflight of stairs and up another. I still dont know how they were able to move my kegerator with 2 partially full kegs without removing them. I just told them they could kill both kegs as a reward

I'm moving about 1000 miles. Anything that doesn't have to be moved isn't being moved.
I killed off almost all of the beer. I'm taking about 1.5 gallons because it's in 1L swing tops (I don't want to loose the bottles. I'm giving away 24 x 12oz bottles of beer. That's not a huge loss.
Everything else is still mead.
And then there were the 100ish empties that went to the glass recycler this morning and the bottle tree that is going to the landfill tomorrow.
And the bonus is I have my wife's permission to start kegging when I rebuild my system.
You bring your own yeast to a bar and ask for a tall glass of ice water.
... you're watching a movie and see a 1960s refrigerator and think; what a great kegerator that would make with 3 taps sticking out the front!

Oh yes I did! The guy sitting next to me shot me a "what the hell are you doing" look.I just pointed at the glass and said "yeast". It was a one word conversation LOLYou didn't... LOL. That's awesome!
You make your first starter on the stir plate you made. And stand there watching the little vortex while drinking a beer you made. But it gets better....your wife asks what you're doing and she actually listens to you while you explain the whole thing - how you made the stir plate, why you made it, and how it will make beer better.
She listens, asks questions, and digs it!
When you are filling out what meds you take at the Dr.s office and ibuprofen 200 ibu is all you think of. I'm not sure why I couldn't think of mg.
When looking at rural properties a slightly less than perfect candidate becomes more attractive due to its neighbor to the west that is just over the tracks and through a gravel pit...

Oh, they are also a brewing supply.
You remember why you rarely have guest. As soon as I opened the fridge, seeing what food I have buying most things fresh and keeping little around, the first freaking thing I tend to hear is "And it´s mostly alcohol". No. No, it´s not even half. Yes I do store some beer in the fridge, but most of what you see are yeast cultures, thank you very much. I could make bread out of those too!
Plus you think this is a lot? One of those jars is around 40 times its volume in actual beer!!!
Then again I never raise that point for some reason.
Somebody visits your apartment. Has a look in the fridge asking what you have for food and then they say "it´s mostly alcohol". No, half of that is yeast cultures. And yes, I don´t like to store, and thus usually waste, a lot of food and therefore only buy what I need at the time, save for staples like rice which don´t go bad.
Still, that look it got...
Well, then I made creamy scrambled eggs with tomato, red onion, fresh chives, tellicherry pepper, and pink Himalayan salt on homemade sesame buns within 10min and that person shut up. xD
Did you have a few before the second iteration of the same post?
...when you actually begin to hope your hydrometer breaks so you can go to the LHBS. And buy a new one. And probably a bunch of other stuff.
Weird, a pizza shop and a brew supply. Interesting combo.
