You know you're a brewer if...

[philrose]

......Your 7 year old tells her teacher at school that Daddy's favorite beer turned out a little too hoppy.

awesome. would have loved to see the teacher's face.

...when your 4 year old tells you she's putting her juice on the table "to let it warm"

 

[Token]

Or they say "We have a LOT just name one I bet we have it."

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

I always ask for a list

Then I just want to shoot them in the face after they tell me there is no list and have said no to about 5 beers I have inquired about.

Drives me bonkers.

Then they'll say, "Well, what do you want?" Anything that's not Bud Light, Coors Light, Miller Lite, Bush Lite, ...." And they look like a deer caught in the headlights. You just know they're thinking, "But that's all we have!" sigh....

When you pull into a parking lot, see an empty bottle on the ground, and go park in the closest spot so you can check if it's a pop top so you can use it.

When, after boiling up an AG batch in your garage, you cool it off in your driveway with an immersion cooler, and get crazed looks from your neighbors. (I think she thought I was making meth or something, she slow walked past my house at least 3 times, lol.)

When you drop one of the LHBSs from your rotation because they told you "never to boil a kit because it will get rid of the hops" - not even waiting to let you finish asking the question about extract brewing...

When you **** in your jeans because you are too involved in a thread on yeast slanting on HBT...and then you find yourself on your knees in your guest bathroom tub with a pair of ****ty jeans on the floor and your ******* under the faucet to rinse out the epicenter and surrounding territories and then trying to explain to your wife the next morning why there is a pair of **** filled jeans on the bathroom floor that you were too drunk to remember to clean out the night before...that is when you know you are a brewer.

....under the faucet to rinse out the epicenter and surrounding territories....

ROFLMAO!!! epicenter and surrounding territories.
Sorry, carry on.

 

[rjgiddings]

Buying a secondary fermentor / priming bucket and racking cane before SWMBO even notices direct deposit Fridays... Mmm. Beer, it's whats for dinner.

 

[ibbones]

ROFLMAO!!! epicenter and surrounding territories.
Sorry, carry on.

When you find yourself sitting on a frozen deck alone in the dark with a pair of pliers chasing kinks in only hose you have that is not frozen attached to your chiller, it's 11pm, 15F out and you have to get this water circulating! Oh, and btw the water is being routed through the house bathroom sink via a 50 ft kinked up hose and out the slider to the deck, and yes, the slider is open the width of the garden hose and yes, 'The f'in draft is coming inside!' (I know this, duh - can't help it... it's for BEEEEER)

Use the complaint as an excuse to pick up a decent sized cooler and a sump pump. I've been using that this winter, and it's REALLY great. Fill cooler with snow/ice, add water, submerge pump, put output back into cooler, turn on. Saves water, no drafts and I don't have to screw around with any outdoor faucets. Just take the pump OUT of water and bring it in when you're done.

The downside is that since a lot of our snow melted, I was having to make a lot of trips with a bucket to gather chunks of snow to put into the cooler. Funny how things you do in the snow when you're 5 become useful later!

You walk through the health food store, and your eyes google out at all the cool grains and sugar alternatives there are to brew with.

You laugh at the ancient skunkflakes the health food store passes off as "dried hops" in their medicinal section.

the 5# hops in the freezer utilizes more space than the food.
