When Black Friday rolls around and all you are interested in are the deals on chest freezers.
I have a 12x16 foot shed that is going to be the brewery next year! Have to clean and insulate, wire it, finish the interior and put something waterproof on the floor...
Where is the hate button?
Gah! Don't remind me... that was the most nerve racking part of my build... putting holes in 3 shiny new Blichmann kettles! I dreaded the day I had to do it and kept putting it off as long as I could. Fortunately it worked perfectly.

When you have a nightmare about your wife opening two liter bottles of your beer to share with friends and then leaving them open on the table all night 90% full.
Greenlee punch, I have the conduit sized set but they make them in all sizes. NOT cheap!
When you spend every spare moment, including post coffee poops at work to read on beer. (Now try to guess what I am doing atm!)
Just saying~ do you rent your tool kal? TrustyOlJohnson may wish to rent yours instead of buying a new one for a one time use.
The dog sits by the door and whines because squirrels are having a feast with the grains you spread out in the backyard.
When I sit by the front door and whine until someone lets me out to go to the LHBS.
When you HAVE to look up a clone recipe for every beer you drink, while you're drinking it. For mental notes
I get mocked mercilessly by the SWMBO for doing this. Thankfully some breweries make it easy and just put the malts and hops they use on the bottle or on their website.
HWMO does not ever mock me for this....We are usually trying to figure out the hops, as part of my hobby (gardener as well as brewer) is the idea of growing 3 or 4 hops varieties, you know, just in case the zombie apocalypse thing. Only shortcoming there is we ain't got a way to grow a lot of barley and malt it. But that's what the whole barter system is for!

When you debate methods to keep your garden hose from freezing solid at -8f temps... I need to invest in a pump and a couple water barrels! Garage is heated to 40 or so so nothing freezes solid in there!

When you go to a job interview and they ask about your hobbies...spend the next 20 mins talking about beer (he did most of the talking).

swmbo one time bugged me to break out 2 bottles of a very tasty ris for her and her friend, only to find out that they drank less than half each!!!!! I was pissed.
I had a friend pull this crap with me..was hounding me for a kick ass bier de garde I had made and only drank half of the 2nd to the last bottle I had left and was like.."I ate before I came over and I am just full...the beer is awesome though!"
He comes over on an empty stomach now or he does not get served at all.
All you need is the pump and a 5 gallon bucket...or switch to no-chill.
I am doing 11 gallon batches. 5 gallons of water won't cool it!
