Warning signs of homebrew addiction

[LVBen]

When your friends all know that if they ask what kinds of beer are in the fridge that they will get descriptions instead of names.

Haha! I like that one!

 

[HappyHax0r]

Yeah...at least I got you folks. That's something...Sometimes you come to think about how you're at the point where life stops giving you things,& starts taking them away. Damn.

Keep your chin up dude, things will eventually work out. I've been there. Quite recently too. It gets better.

In the meantime don't let yourself get into a slump and remember that people here /do/ care and will listen without judging if you want to yap .

When you have a commercial (filtered) beer, you leave the last 1/4 to 1/2 inch of beer in the bottle by habit.

just makin room for better stuff in the future.

when your house is in a mandatory evacuation zone due to a hurricane, and you convince your wife that she should take the kids and go somewhere safe while you hold down the fort. In your head, holding down the fort entails bottling 5 gallons of strong scotch ale, transferring another 5 gallons of strong scotch ale to scotch soaked oak chips, and bottling 7 gallons of American barleywine, cuz, really, when else would you do it?

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

You are my hero! Stay safe brother.

 

[mikeysab]

Staying safe would normally be the no brainer , but all the Men on my block decided they wouldd rather go down with the ship than give it up, so i'm hoping for some rain and a bit of wind, but thats it. Im holdin down the fort either way but i'd rather not
Have a full blown hurricane to deal with. That would just " blow". Haha,

Thanks,just had to vent. Gotta get her to at least have a few with me,seeing as how it's our 34th & all. Geez.

Here's hopin there is something better in the future...Like another shot at the 12mil number she wouldn't let me play 20 years ago.

Man,you got some big brass cajouns to hang around. I'd grab my brewing stuff,make like a heard of pigeons,& get the flock outta there!

 

[BonnieJ]

When you dream about brewing beer for four nights in a row before you actually get to (that was my first time). I don't know if the addiction began before I started, or what...

 

[Golddiggie]

When you grab a tube of Keg Lube instead of KY...

 

[Zixxer10R]

When you grab a tube of Keg Lube instead of KY...

I think more importantly one of two things though: 1) Why was your keg lube anywhere near "the deed", or 2) How could you risk unsanitary conditions if you were near your brews?!

 

[mikeysab]

I think as long as he got some star san and gave his junk a quick dunk to get rid of the funk, he could proceed as usual.

 

[Golddiggie]

Keg Lube is great for more than just kegs you know. Helps with the o-rings in the more beer style QD's and so much more. Plus, it's food safe, so it has to be safe for internal use (or semi-internal) too. :rockin: Besides, a little goes a long way with Keg Lube...

Now have you bothered calling the manufacturer to verify if it's condom safe? Something tells me they don't specify on the packaging...

Never said I was using it with condoms...

You might be addicted to homebrewing if:

You buy vodka, but don't drink it.

You might be addicted to homebrewing if:

You are drinking coffee in the morning and you notice that there is a piece of something floating around in it and the first thing that pops into your head is "it is probably just a piece of hops."

 

[Lucky_Chicken]

the LHBS calls you at home because he hasn't seen you in a week and wanted to know if everything was ok.

 

[umopepisdn]

I was driving with some friends in Portland and passed a building that had a sign that said "WY east" I laughed and pointed.....no one else got it.....

 

[unionrdr]

When the only things resembling citrus in your house is in your ales.

 

[mlg5039]

When heading to a special occasion or a party for someone, it is no longer necessary to stop and buy them a gift on the way. I'm sure there's a six pack of their liking somewhere around the house

 

[unionrdr]

When wifey starts liking your hoppy ales after you tell her it's pushing 6% or more.

LOL! That's damn funny!

And so is that!

You're confused when Yooper's avatar isn't the Leather-clad, whip wielding, Dominatrix!

 

[JoeyChopps]

You're confused when Yooper's avatar isn't the Leather-clad, whip wielding, Dominatrix!

Or the sexy actor with the 6 pack

 

[Golddiggie]

You're confused when Yooper's avatar isn't the Leather-clad, whip wielding, Dominatrix!

Or you're happy when she changes it back to the whip wielding dominatrix...

 

[Reaver]

I was originally thinking that.. but wanted it to have less Stalker/Creeper/Serial Killer tone to my post I think she already has a couple stalkers round here.

...when you're making maple&brown sugar oatmeal for lunch and you wonder if you can extract more sugar from letting it "mash" longer.

Then you wonder how much it would take to make a true "breakfast stout" with oatmeal packets!

 

[kickrjason]

You are at the gym an wonder if a protein powder could mix well with a home-brew.
