Warning signs of homebrew addiction

[JoeyChopps]

Food fridge? That's kinda dangerous. If I was your family, I'd just get you another fridge.

When u don't give a **** about safety in the name of good beer

 

[NWMOBrewer]

Because I work in food, and dead people drink no beer. I gotta say family>beer. Sorry

 

[JoeyChopps]

No worries just a joke
My sense of humor> your sense of humor cheers Chopps

You dress your carboy in a t-shirt, call it baby, and check on 6 times a day!

When you buy a beer you've never had mainly because it has a cool bottle you can reuse there are some very cool Lithuanian ones...and some of them even come with good beer inside.

When you still haven't brewed another batch of your favorite because you're still working on that ever growing list of wanna try beers.

 

[garywebb96]

Your buddys call you Brewmaster G.
You spend hours reading posts on homebrewtalk.com!

 

[drac0]

when you have BeerSmith2 installed on your work computer.

when your boss walks up as you're tinkering in BeerSmith2, and you explain to your boss that you realized that your absorption rate is actually .14.

That's nothing until you've installed BeerSmith(2) to your dropbox folder so it will sync with your home desktop, brewing laptop and work computer. Then you spend your breaks and lunch hours and any moment you can get away with at work formulating your recipes.

Oh good,then it's not just me...mine gets my old purple haze "Hollywood" tee. The cool part is,she's always...just so...bubbly!

 

[generikal]

You put an ad on craigslist looking for bottles because you can't drink fast enough. (and I'm a drinker!)

When you've bottled so much beer that you break down and build a keggerator and buy a dozen kegs.

 

[Dan]

When you've bottled so much beer that you break down and build a keggerator and buy a dozen kegs.

haha only bottled one batch before I realized I was done with that. I think the secret is to make your wife help. That makes it easier to sell the "this will be much faster with kegs" bit.

When you buy a house and the thing you are most excited about is expanding your homebrewing territory.

 

[Zixxer10R]

You're watching the Terra Nova premiere and you suddenly spot a new italian-style 3 gallon ball lock keg with those metal handles.

 

[janivar123]

Panic sets in because you only have ingredients left for 30 more gallons.

Starting to make a recepie for honey puffs and pale

 

[Zixxer10R]

You wish your upcoming club Big Brew could just be allocated to your house because you want it all for yourself! That might not be homebrew addiction though. Just alcohol addiction.

+1 I deliberately bought a house with a nice basement where I could set up a permanent home brewery.

 

[Monstar]

Hell ya. I look at my house basically as the best upgrade to my brewing system so far haha

 

[jamboparty]

When your 4 year-old son is playing at preschool and asks the teacher, 'I'm making some beer... what kind do you like?'

My wife had fun explaining that one when she picked him up that day

 

[unionrdr]

Lolz! Reminds me of when I was 2 or 3 in similar situations with the adults. I had a habit of saying to them,"let me twy dat!". Hey,it looked good,they were certainly enjoying it,sooo....??

 

[Oldbrew75]

Your wife tells you that your being as anal as Jamil Zainasheff about your cleaning.

That is AWESOME

 

[btbonser]

When you have a fully enclosed hot tub room and haul the hot tub to the dump so you can have a brew room

Yes I saved the pump, heater and controls just in case

 

[LVBen]

When you tell other homebrewers how often you brew and they tell you that you have a home brewing problem.

 

[jonmohno]

When your inventory,brewing equipement supplies invades the territory where normal pots/pans storage goes and you start sticking appliances in your basement and you have a beer refrigerater cooler in you kitchen replacing ice everyday and you check on your beers cellering/conditioning to make shure they are ok often. And admire at how well they are clearing up and looking beautiful.

 

[btbonser]

* When your wife has to buy new kitchen utensils because you have them all
* When UPS/Fed Ex shows up weekly with some new brewing equipment
* When you no longer go down the beer isle at Safeway because "All that s**t sucks"

 

[Monstar]

When you stop playing World of Warcraft because you would rather brew.

 

[hoppymonkey]

When you dream about getting a good deal on a bunch of cornys.
