Empty cornys are now your surround sound speaker stands.

Who's got empties? I've got more brews going than I've got cornies!

When you find yourself rinsing out bottles even when you plan to throw them away.

I even wash them and drain them on the bottle tree before throwing them into the recycling bin.

Lol. I told the wife that last season. Awesome equipment.!

 

[mikeysab]

When watching Breaking Bad, and see Hank almost shoot his wifes face off, you think "Wow, bottle bombs are way more dangerous when youre a homebrewing cop".

When you remodel a spare walk-in closet to organize and store all of your brewing equipment

Definitely in the process of doing this..

When you have nightmares about a stuck sparge.

Agreed. I also admired the coffee making contraption Gail made and found myself thinking about its effect on tannin extraction...

When you keep looking at the FV's,realize they're empty,then over to that nearly 3 case stack of maturing beers. Not to mention lookin at that sturdy plastic 1G jug that's screaming for calibrations for filling the BK.:rockin:

 

[bniesen]

When you are in your living room, or anywhere else in your home, and you here a strange and sudden noise and the first thing you do is run to see if your carboys/bottles exploded.

Happened to me just the other day.

When absolutely NEED to know how much precious wort will be lost in your transfer lines out of fear of running your pump dry.

When the only items in your refrigerator are beers or beer-related items

Or when you have a decicated beer fridge right beside the house fridge, and it has more in it than the house fridge. And your on the lookout for a bigger fridge and a chest freezer to ferment in.

Or when you're using all of your beer equipment during down time to show how useful it is to have all this stuff around, and should in fact be buying more stuff.

-Cleaning baby bottles with PBW
-Sanitizing nipples (bottle nipples not mine, although why not)
-Pouring juice in your kid's cup from an auto siphon
-Using your fermenting bucket as a drum and/or toy box

+1. My 25 cu ft. one year old Stainless Steel Fridge is mostly full with yeast bottles (from washing yeast), beer, hops (until I can get them downstairs to the freezer) and spent grains (to make spent grain bread).

HA! And I thought I was the only one...back right before my second was born we got out all the old bottle stuff, and I filled up the util sink and soaked everything, then right after (why waste a good sinkfull of cleaning solution), in goes a batch of Daddy's bottles!

My 1 and a half year old discovered this herself. The brew spoon makes a perfect drumstick.

When you're watching a cooking show with your wife, and they're making a beer batter with a "mild" beer and you start ranting about them using a light lager and not a sessionable English brown.

 

[RipeforYelp22]

When you finish a batch and all you can think about is when you're gonna start your next one. Is two days too little time in between batches??

 

[unionrdr]

When you're watching a cooking video on youtube,& they used a SS stock pot & palm sugar in the boil part. And you start thinking hmmm....
