your listening to Nine Inch Nails - Head like a hole, thinking about this thread, trying to come up with a way to make a joke about masturbation and drinking homemade beer...just to post something like this in a thread like this...
You know you're a home brewer when?

you start thinking about old co-workers at the grocery store who had parents that were hop farmers in idaho, and always brought you garbage bags full of whole leaf hops...and start weeping over missed love....
When you have a vanity bath, and all you can think to do with it, is sprout barley!

lol, see post #7,041
you have 10 left over store bought IPA's in your beer fridge, just kegged up a batch, barley even cold yet... and still choose the flat homebrew...
then decide to post pic about it on a public forum, look at it and realize, 'damn boy, you need to clean your fridge'....lol
and i've had bottles like that sit in my fridge for years before actually drinking them...

you get pissed off having an argument about what makes a IPA a 'lite' beer....

You're out in a residential neighborhood doing some prospecting for your business, see a new chest freezer sitting in a garage and wonder if the owner is a home brewer. For some reason it really didn't occur to me at the time that people actually put FOOD in those things sometimes. 
and your probably right! i was getting a propane tank filled once at the gas station, and someone asked if i was brewing...i was like 'yeah, how did you know?' i could have been grilling meat!

When the worst kind of gas leak in your house is CO2
I'll amend that one a bit...when the 2nd worst gas leak in your house is your own body saying "too much yeast in suspension!!! Enough already!!" NOTHING is worse than yeast farts.

When you have 8 carboys and still have to freeze the grape harvest rather than start wine because all carboys are full.

You invest in a Tilt hydrometer and a raspberry pi to post fermentation data to the web.
Then you check the logs every few hours to see how the fermentation is coming along.
And, as any proud parent would do, you show the chart to all of your friends!

I have 3 or 4 of those s shaped airlocks .. without the little hats they like to wear. No where to be found. Thank heaven for aluminum foil.
I like to stuff a cotton ball in the top, wetted with starsan to prevent any mold growth. In my imagination it lets CO2 out but prevents fruit flies and any airborne nasties from falling in while also slowing the rate of evaporation to avoid a dry airlock.
You know you're a homebrewer when you geek out about airlock tips & tricks and when you count among your prized possessions a stainless thermowell and a suck-back preventer
"Believe me, honey, I've got to upgrade to stainless... I had a dream something bad was going to happen..." [emoji6]

When you’ve said to a child, “I’ve got beers in my closet older than you.”
when it's bed time, you have crystal malt roasting in the oven filling the house with a smell that reminds you of an idea of what heaven might be like, freshly laundered bedding, and think...damn...can life get any better....
LOL, that's for the distilling topic isn't it? i got a bottle of brandy 11 years old now....
When you have a bunch of dishes in the sink to wash...realize you don't have dish soap, and end up soaking them all in PBW!
When your friend who runs tag sales (I have more than one habit) calls to tell you that there will be brewing gear at this week's sale.

Guilty.
You really know you`re a home brewer after soaking and washing over two hundred bottles... not to mention the brewing equipment for this weekend.
Or reading this post and feeling bad...Because you only bottled one batch and moved straight to kegging...
Not an option for me, no space and I normally drink inside and brew/condition in the garage so I`d have to draw pipelines into the office

i was just talking about having to walk to the fridge, and glycol chillers too! sounds like you have a nice working environment!
Or, you're listening to Frank Zappa and thinking, We need a brew slut...
Or how about this, while your pouring your soak water for barley, and thinking about how all the other 'cool homebrewers' make fun of you! lol
(granted i do talk out my ass most of the time)

When the pint you just pulled from your keg is crystal clear and you get "empty keg" anxiety because you now know you only have 3 pints left in it...
When you sympathize with someone upon hearing they have an almost empty keg, and hope the last pour is a perfectly full glass! (and hope you don't get nightmares tonight, about it being the only keg they had)

HAHAHAHA! sigh.... well, I know I am a home brewer because I have a keezer in the basement that has 5 full secondary fermenters just begging to be kegged!
At least there's that, but wouldn't it be warm and flat? I mean i got 6 gallons of 65% rum-whiskey, but that's just a collectors item. Not really for drinking?
I know i'm a homebrewer because at reading that post, i want to get a link to a GoFundMe page so i chip in a 5 spot to get you some more kegs! (seriously!)

Oh! lol my keezer is set to just above freezing. So my 5 secondaries are cold. (and flat)
I have many empty spare kegs... the only thing worse than no beer... is a lazy home brewer.. hahaha!!!

Maybe that should be another one.
You know you're a home brewer when: you output the same volume of beer as a small country, yet you have nothing ready to drink!

i know i'm a homebrewer. Because, i just looked, and i'm concerned that the "How Many Gallons in 2018" thread, is lacking someone's tally that brews enough for a small country!

Then it's the old high PSI and shake!
You know your a homebrewer when you read this at work and it clearly says saaz.
