15 plus years and still freaked out by lag time. I also am freaked out my an iodine test half way into mash times.

Anyone else?
 
Nasty hydro samples at the 1-2 week mark freak me out. Nasty bottles 1-2 weeks after bottling even more so. I know it's green, but I still freak out if it tastes bad before it's got a little age on it.
 
Connecting a newly filled keg to CO2. I had a keg leak all of the CO2 from my tank one time and ever since then I check the pressure every few hours just to make sure...
 
My worst fear is having an entire bowl of chili spilled on my shirt/lap.

Sometimes SWMBO stops by on her lunch break. I instantly freak out for just a second... even though nothing is wrong, out of place... I just can't help at saying "hi honey, what are you doing home?" sounding all guilty... lol

Practice your browser closing hot-key maneuver.

And wear a long shirt to hide the evidence...
 
I freak out when I get home from work, the wife is passed out, naked, face down on the back lawn and the keg is kicked! I usually just resort to playing corn hole, it calms me down :cross:
 
When the wife asks when the next time I need a "free day" to brew on the weekends because she has other tasks for me to do that are far more important than my brew day (or my beer in general for that matter). That grinds my gears.

I also wish the neighborhood girl would come and sit in the she beast spot and drink/brew with me. That would ungrind my gears.

:D Ha! I see what ya did there.....

Nothing freaks me out more than cleaning up after what seems to have been a well executed brew day, looking over and seeing (insert ingredient here) sitting on the counter....... :drunk:
 
The thing that freaks me out most on a brew day is the thought that one of my dogs is going to sneak out. We live on a busy road and I'm in and out all day, distracted. Sometimes one of the little so-and-so's will find a new spot to pass out in and I'll be walking through the house with 10 things on my mind and glance around and miss one of them. Several heart attacks later, they'll come out and look at me like I'm crazy.
 
Day after brew day fermentor is bubbling away happily. I check my brew notes and everything happened like clockwork.

What did I miss? Nothing is this perfect.

All the Best,
D. White
 
Got a new one....

10 gallon batch split into 2 fermenters. !2 hours later one started, one hasn't....
 
The fact that every time I see a thread with 'HERMS' in the title, I immediately think of furry art rather than brewing equipment. :confused:

TMI? Probably...
