Warning signs of homebrew addiction

[Lodovico]

During the winter months, your driveway is a frozen skating rink with layers of hop and cold break matter underneath the ice from your chilling runoff.

When you soak,rinse,& scrub your fermenters 3 or 4 times to make sure it's clean & sanitized before drying it off & storing.

Or when your yard has become an obstacle course of "spent grain icebergs."

or when you have 4 carboys and after cleaning & sanitizing they almost never get to dry before getting filled again

I have a deer problem because of this.

I'll take care of that deer problem for you!

When you find out you're getting laid off and you are trying to figure out how you can upgrade your brewing equipment with your severance check!

 

[Misplaced_Canuck]

When you start dating someone new, and you only will go out with someone that is in the medical/bio/chem fields because it will help improve your beer.

When you buy a buddy a starter kit for Christmas, but you're debating on whether or not to just brew up the BB ingredient kit you got to go with it yourself.

 

[mdgagne]

When you buy a more beer kit for Xmas but include a revised recipe and instructions for proper yeast pitching rates.

When you calculate the grist-to-water ratio of your oatmeal in the morning.

 

[Chefencore]

When you make a stop at the grocery store after the lhbs, and crack your window to keep your yeast cold (during the winter months)

Guilty of doing this today actually. Also thought about the gravity effects of the brown sugar and raisins I added to it.

You're excited about Christmas again since you know you're getting some kind of brewing stuff. Besides the 2 full batches of beer that'll be peaking in time for Christmas & New Years.

I was just told by two guys I work with, by the way who go me involved in brewing, that I need an intervention. Multiple carboys of beer, alpfenwein and mead going, trolling Craigslist for any home brewing supplies (ie carboys, corny kegs, bottles, ect) and just purchased a chest freezer to build a kegerator.

They say I'm obsessed, I say I'm ahead of the curve! :rockin: They need to catch up.

hey! I resemble those remarks! It's not us who're crazy... It's everybody else!

i was walking by 2 people who were talking. 1 said "that's a 45 and a 25". I thought "that's not a good hop schedule!"

 

[Brew_4iT]

When your already thinking of your next batch of beer while pitching your yeast.

 

[seabass07]

When you are arguing with yourself like a schitzophrenic about which of the 20 next brew plans you should do next!

 

[Lucky_Chicken]

When you come into work early just so you can get on HBT and check the threads!

When you spend your bonus to upgrade your system from propane to electric so you wont have to quit brewing in January when its too cold to run the hose to the chiller outside.

"I might be crazy but it keeps me from going insane"

Were they talking about brewing or evaluating? Sounds to me like they described one beer as "Outstanding, a world-class example of style" and another as "Good, misses the mark on style and/or minor flaws"

I just said this to a brew buddy the other day (get Quote)

 

[unionrdr]

Reading BYO while dropping a duece? I wonder if that's what KISS had in mind with their lyric "you know your man is workin hard...he's worth a duece!"? Iow,he ain't worth shizz!? They never did admit what that meant.

You have begun searching for meaning in kiss lyrics..

When you are standing in front of the wood stove getting warm, and just thinking. Then your wife walks by, looks at you and says "What are you thinking about, Beer ****?" and shs's right.

Your suppose to say" You of course" your not a good lier! Dont be suprised if tomarrow she yells " You should have just married beer!" She just could be right.

Just don't start comparing the quality of head you get from both, unless your couch is really comfortable.
