Warning signs of homebrew addiction

[LVBen]

You know your addicted when your brother asks you to be his photographer at his 3rd degree black belt test (a pretty big thing) and you agree, only to realize later that you now have a scheduling conflict with your homebrew brewers guild meeting and hope the test is canceled or delayed.

No!!! If you schedule something at the same time as your homebrew meeting, then you are obviously NOT addicted!

 

[unionrdr]

You know you're addicted when you have brewing supplies taking up space in the freezer,fridge,& pantry. Then go looking for better boxes to put your bottles/brews in...& the fan is keeping your fermenter cool,while you swelter.

You see a commercial with a woman talking about "yeast infection cream," and wonder if your local home brew shop carries it.

Or you think that if she had followed good sanitation practices, with StarSan, she never would have gotten the infection to start with. Or you wonder if StarSan could kill that...

When you pour another mug of black coffee and it makes you yearn for one of your darker brews. Then as the bubbles go away (on top of the coffee) you start thinking about how you could brew it with better head retention.

When your wife makes a deal, ij you remodel the kitchen, you can keep your keezer in it. And you take the deal.

I'm very close to getting a 3rd freezer for beer. (Not including the food fridge/freezer in the kitchen)

When you are at work, you think about brewing. When you are at home, you think about brewing. When you are drinking beer, you think about brewing. When you are brewing, you think about future brews. When you are hanging out with friends/coworkers, you think about brewing, and often times, you talk about brewing. When you are showering, you think about brewing. When you are playing video games, you think about brewing. While you are away from a computer, you think about posts on the previously mentioned forum dedicated to brewing.

 

[SarahMatt]

When you're checking out a bigger fridge and comment (within earshot of the salesperson) to your SO that you officially have more fridges for beer than food and the salesperson winks (yep, he WINKED) at said SO and says "heh, that'll change soon..."; then you & SO look at each other, laugh and say "doubt it"!!

When your chore list( written by your wife) Looks like this.

1: Take out trash
2: Fix door
3: KEG BEER
Saw this,this morning and thought sweet she's finally coming around.

When you're soaking the gunk out of your fermenter,& it's getting darker,then the wife points at it,asking "next brew?" with a gleam in her eye.
