You know you're a brewer if...

[masonsjax]

Your favorite kitchen appliance is the foodsaver and you won't eat leftovers.

 

[TexLaw]

When you drink to make room.

When offered a BMC you politely say "No thank you... I'll make my own..."

. . . and you head to the restroom.

You see one of those temp signs and wonder what you could ferment at that temp.

 

[TripleHopped]

You can remember the exact day you acquired each piece of your brewing equipment, but can't remember your wedding anniversary day/year.

 

[Sacdan]

When your neighbor comes into your kitchen, sees your stirplate, and asks if you are a scientist.

haha.

Yeah, but don't you kinda feel like a scientist? I feel like I'm in chemistry lab every time I've got the flask on the stove lol.

 

[HalfPint]

If your friends say that a APA tastes kind of stout and you just chuckle and don't reply

 

[mc_eric]

When you don't think of "head" and "mouthfeel" as qualities to look for in a potential one night stand.

The term "blow off tube" doesn't bring anything even vaguely sexual to mind.

you're right! i really hadn't even thought of it in a dirty way, and my mind generally hangs out in the gutter

(speaking of which, what the heck is that banana doing?)

 

[Mista_Sparkle]

your best black friday acquisition was 150 dirty bottles

Thats me, my wife said "I am not getting you only beer stuff".

 

[HalfPint]

Thats me, my wife said "I am not getting you only beer stuff".

Yeah, me too. I already convinced them to buy me a black Friday 20% off banjo burner. I actually have a thread on here some where asking you guys what I should get for Christmas.

Lol

 

[HalfPint]

When you drive by the Budweiser Brewery and you roll your windows down because you see smoke coming out of the smoke stacks and you hope it's sweet hoppy wort boiling.

Lol I actually did this 30 minutes ago and immediately thought about this thread!

 

[nbspindel]

what a great smell that is that comes from the brewery stacks! wish i lived close enough that i drove past one daily, not just when i want to

 

[BierMuncher]

You have a few of these lying around.

 

[jbanta]

..if you have your son check the school library for homebrewing books.............

 

[Bullbythehorns]

When you have friends from Church over (Mennonite by the way) and they proceed to empty the: Stout, American Wheat and Oktoberfest kegs. They especially liked that since I brewed it, I mentioned that I did not add any alcohol to it. This happened Sat. night, time to get brewing and restock the pipeline. Reminds me of an old joke:

What happens when you take a Mennonite fishing? He drinks all of your beer.

What happens when you take 2 Mennonite's fishing? They don't drink any of it.

 

[Yuri_Rage]

When you have a purpose built brew hut, rather full of brew equipment, and SWMBO is still asking you when you're going to move "all of that stuff" out of the hallway closet.

 

[Cheeto]

When you have several pounds of hops in the freezer and think that you need more.

When you are at a tasting and you tell the brewer what hops they use in their beer, same with the malts.

When you look at you furnishings and know there color by SRM.

When you look at the old fish tank and think that it would be great for a spontaneous fermentation experiment.

 

[Arneba28]

When your mother asks you what size shirts you want for christmas you blurt out "10 gallon kettle" because you were thinking about that during your whole conversation.

 

[mordantly]

when you innapropriately touch carboys, kegs, bottles repeatedly.

 

[danorocks17]

collect all pry open bottles regardless of need

 

[alcibiades]

when you have enough empty beer bottles in your car to be arrested for a DUI, even though you are (probably) sober

 

[HalfPint]

Man, I worry about that every time I have those in my car! I hate only having two beers or so and then riding home from someones house with a 12 pack of empties b/c I don't want to waste all of those bottles that I brought for people.

Anyone else have this problem? I'm beginning to believe the solution is to just leave them there hidden in the garage or something and picking them up later.

I usually just only bring 3-4 brews with me when I take my beer places. It all gets consumed there and I don't mind losing a couple of bottles. If people want to guzzle my homebrew they have to come to my place, where the bottles never leave the premises

 

[homeslice]

When you drive your girlfriend out of the sheets because you hotboxed the room with the stankins. Daaaaayaaaaam!!!!!!

When you have police raiding your house and Haz Mat checking the garage.

Your Facebook status is "I need more empty bottles"

.....You don't have a facebook cause you're too busy drinking.

Good idea. I have a problem with brewing more than I can personally consume, so I try to get as many people to drink it as possible. Also, don't you brew beer not only because it's AWESOME, but because you also like to enjoy it with your friends and family? Unfortunately, they can't always come to my place, and since I enjoy to drink and typically they do as well, I bring it to them.

I guess I need to tell friends/family to hook me up with some bottles so I can have enough to just leave with them.
