You know you are a homebrewer when...

[m1k3]

You mop your garage more than any other house keeping task.

+1, if you use StarSan.

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!! Kill it!!

Now, that it's been resurrected, I guess I'll chime in.

You goto restaurant and insist you know more about the beer served than teh waitress.

You go to a brewpub and insist you know more about the beer served than the brewer. I saw this on the menu:

Imperialist Pig English Style IPA

6.5% Alc/Vol | 63 IBU’s | 1.064 Original Gravity

Reminiscent of the beers shipped to India from England in the 1800′s. Heavily hopped with five separate additions of American Amarillo, Citra & Cascade hops. This IPA leaves you wanting more.

BJCP:

14A. English IPA
Ingredients: ...English hops...
IBUs: 40 – 60

I tried it. Tastes like a fairly typical American IPA. It was good beer, though, so I wasn't about to raise a stink about it.

Or maybe it's just this:

Shouldn't this be in the "You know you're an E.A.C. when....?"

When it's colder than a polar bear's bumm outside & you're fresh outta beer. And those home brews have been in bottles 11 days,& the flintstone fridge chills'em down in no time flat when it's 14F or lower outside this evening. Time for some NZ hoppy beer!

When adding hot water to your instant oatmeal/muesli combo, you stir well to avoid clumps...and then it occurs to you that you are mashing in your breakfast. Yeah, that just happened.

When you drunkenly over pour a beer that overflows and consider sanitizing the outside of the glass or racking to another glass.

 

[WesleyBrewViking]

When you no longer chuckle when you tell your friends how much head you've been getting lately.

 

[WesleyBrewViking]

When your friends no longer laugh when you talk about getting good head.

 

[libeerty]

When you can't finish a beer you poured yourself before you have to leave your home so you carefully pour it back into its bottle, re-cap it, and place in fridge, then hop online to write about it on some Internet forum.

 

[m1k3]

There are more photos of your brews than your children.

 

[unionrdr]

When PM starts getting good to you,you're out of fermenters,& you've got more stuff coming in. not to mention having to wait till bottling day to wash the yeast for the new batch.

 

[amandabab]

you look at dry pasta.
you start pondering gelatinization temperature and diastatic power needed.
You ponder if you really want to sink this low.

 

[masskrug]

you have a 50 pound sack of 2-row laying on the guest bedroom bed.

 

[msa8967]

you have a 50 pound sack of 2-row laying on the guest bedroom bed.

I actually have 50 lbs of two-row stored in buckets in the guest bedroom closet.

 

[jeff0001]

When your time in the bathroom triples because you're stuck reading the latest threads on the HBT app.

 

[xtian116]

When your friends come over with their kids and you run out of chairs at the kids table, then pull out 6 kettles.

 

[m1k3]

Conical fermenters, temp controllers, plate chillers.... all seem like a reasonable alternative to buying beer.

 

[m1k3]

You wonder why Glade air freshener doesn't come in Cascade, Centennial, Simcoe, Citra.....

+1 if you are convinced you can ID them.

 

[xtian116]

You have walk in closets but nowhere to hang your clothes.

 

[JEnglish]

The power goes out and the first thing you think of is your fermentation chamber.

 

[454k30]

Everytime you taste a new beer you try to guess the grain bill.

 

[unionrdr]

When you can actuall pick out the grains & hops,at least partially.

 

[thaworm69]

When you spill your beer on your coffee table and realize that it works better than any Old English or wood polishing product....and you wonder what patents are needed for a hoppy fresh scented ...well u get it..

 

[m1k3]

You calibrate your compute monitor in SRM using BeerSmith2 and a pint of your beer.

Who cares what my photos look like, is my beer going to be the right color!?!
Actually, the photos look pretty good... Genius!

 

[m1k3]

You have beer nightmares.

Last night I dreamed the keg of RIS froze and cracked because I put two kegs of warm beer in the keezer

When you're still like a kid Christmas morning every time brewing stuff arrives. Just ordered from More Beer! yesterday & the first of two boxes was here first thing this morning.

 

[Riot]

When you have to edit a post because your phone corrected styrian to starsan

 

[bracconiere]

damn i got two points now!

1) when you get a fear that you forgot to check your mash ph, jump up...and realize brew day isn't until tomorrow!

2) you get eager to share this with your homebrewing buddies, can't find the right thread, and bring one of them back from the dead instead!

 

[Wolfbayte]

When you see a TV character drink a beer and you squint to try to see if the bottle is re-cappable.

 

[bracconiere]

when you throw your hops bags in with your laundry, and think about reviving an old thread you made about being a crappy homebrewer...

edit: ((and yes, i now know why someone made a reference to ismellwierd, (and his pump problem))
