You know you're a brewer if...

[RLinNH]

[Walker]

When it's 11:45pm and you're carting big hunks of stainless steel from the garage to the deck because you decide that your keg of pale ale looks a little low.

 

[NTOLERANCE]

Your neighbors show up to your house at odd hours with empty pitchers/growlers.

 

[NTOLERANCE]

People come over to your house and DONT ask what the bubbling in the kitchen is.

 

[HalfPint]

When you pause Call Of Duty, Modern Warfare 2, put the TV on Mute, and wait for about 5 minutes just to listen to the Blow Off tube "Blurb" into the Blow Off Container from the batch that you pitched 5 hours ago.

lol.

I find that I only have OCD when I have a new beer fermenting vigorously. lol. I go into the room to watch it blow out every 20 minutes lol.

 

[johntangus]

When you boycott a bar because they don't keep their lines clean or they serve their beer in incorrect glassware.

 

[northernlad]

...you consider boycotting a favorite brewery because they have switched to screw top bottles.

 

[MarshyTheKid]

When you go over to a buddies house and can tell what type of beer they brewed 2 days ago.

When you're unemployed and have single digits in the bank account, then you get a small check from selling something and your first thought is what beer you're going to brew next. Then you cash the check and order your beer supplies right away.

 

[ToddO]

When you pass a big rig hauling gas on the freeway and think "Damn, that would make a huge ole' sick fermentor"

 

[nerfherder]

you practice good mashing technique when making oatmeal.

 

[sketerbuck]

when your drinking at 6:00 am on a Saturday morning and SWMBO refers to your brew as the other woman

 

[bullinachinashop]

[CalmYourself]

When you've spent time with a mop on your ceiling cleaning a bottlebomb mess

 

[SowegaBrews]

[dutch-brew]

a "natastrophy" to you means all your buddy has at his house is natty light..

 

[Netflyer]

!! What a thought!

:rockin:

 

[Netflyer]

What's is a dining room for anyhow?

200 singles, 70 liters, 5 boxes filled with various types of conditioning brews, bottle trees, drying table for rinsed lab equipment...

 

[Netflyer]

You're eating lunch with your co-workers/friends and you find yourself staring at their iced tea wondering if it would be considered a 12 or a 13 SRM...

 

[zanemoseley]

Its late fall and you find yourself kicking on the A/C to remove the excess humidity in the house from brewing an AG batch on the stove.

 

[Netflyer]

... and of course as we all well know the steam off the wort cures everything from lethargy to ingrown toenails...

 

[rrmiller]

... and of course as we all well know the steam off the wort cures everything from lethargy to ingrown toenails...

Note to self, don't taste Netflyer's brews.

" is that a subtle hint of foot I detect? Just a kiss of ingrown toenail......."

 

[david_42]

You're poking up the fireplace and wonder if you could keep the temperature steady enough for mashing.

 

[PT Ray]

When you've banned the house from watching and use of the word 'Intervention".

 

[HalfPint]

When you've banned the house from watching and use of the word 'Intervention".

haha!

Yeah,

I think some outsiders view some of us as alcoholics. I mean who needs 35 gallons worth of beer and wine sitting in your guest (brewery) bedroom. Brewing has without a doubt become an obsession of mine over the past few years.

 

[jppostKW]

When the local resturant supply store sends a post card saying we miss you heres a coupon... addressed to your brewery

 

[KayaBrew]

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

 

[Dalarast]

You spend more time washing bottles than dishes...

Your kitchen is cleaner than most 5 star restaurants...

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

You know when you offer a friend one of YOUR beers he is going to actually feel the affects unlike a store bought beer..

When you look at your blackberry as not just a phone but a gateway to more HBT knowledge...

You understand that SWMBO must REALLY be obeyed so you can continue brewing... (she scares me!)

 

[Bullshivit-brew]

When you know what RDWHAHB meens

 

[Chudz]

When you know what RDWHAHB meens

Cheers!

 

[mordantly]

how about when your house and garage look like a meth lab but has strong aromas of alcohol and yeast farts./\
