You know you're a brewer if...

[sketerbuck]

if you find yourself searching threw a brown glass recycle dumpster in the snow looking for bottles that aren't screw off.

 

[NTOLERANCE]

Youre visiting friends out of town, and come across a really good local brew. You cultivate yeast from the bottle in your friends kitchen.

 

[Ragutis]

You know you're a home brewer when you get sent to the police station to photograph the evidence from a drug bust and you try to determine the capacity of the digital scales to see if they would work for grain.

After chatting with the police captain he tells me he's about to make an immersion chiller and will make me one too.

 

[SnickASaurusRex]

If the guy at the homebrew shop signs you up for AA.

 

[CereousBrewer]

...you like to cook and bake.

 

[flaminpi3]

Your friend complains of getting lousy head, and you advise them to use more flaked barley.

You quit your job because the web filter blocks all alcohol related websites.

 

[Gumbys_Brew]

you have a few months until moving out of state and your buddies all ask you to brew a batch for them.

 

[david_42]

This is the tenth thread like this since you jointed HBT and you both read and contribute.

 

[mordantly]

if you have to decide between brewing more beer or buying some.

 

[flaminpi3]

you get the munchies and end up eating a cup of leftover Special B.

 

[Pickngrin]

...you consider whether Star San might be helpful when SWMBO starts experiencing some feminine itching.

Great thread!

[hopdawg]

You have four refrigerators and SWMBO can't find any place to put the Thanksgiving leftovers.

Hilarious and true!!!

 

[hopdawg]

When you survey every corner of the house upstairs and down with a digital thermometer in search of the perfect fermenting temperature.

 

[hopdawg]

When you forget about the water boiling out in the garage thats sterilizing your "yeast washing jars" and create enough steam to peel off the dry wall tape from the ceiling. DOH!

 

[hopdawg]

Your home office looks like this and if your boss who's 300 miles away only knew, he'd have a heart attack!!!

 

[Doog_Si_Reeb]

You celebrate the repeal of prohibition...

 

[TexLaw]

You're brewing on terra incognita, your Dad turns off the running water for the house (so you have no chilling water), you have to explain to your Mom what you are doing, you have nothing but a 4-cup measuring cup to transfer wort from the kettle to the fermener because you aren't at home base, and you still made beer.

Where and what brewery?

 

[Hoppus_Poppatopolis]

Where and what brewery?

You ask "Where and what brewery?"

 

[Netflyer]

You get a nasty sinus infection because your co-workers (co-drinkers) give you back a case of ez cap bottles that you didn't check but in fact were not cleaned and had the tops locked down festering for weeks. You finally go to clean them and realize as the dog runs out of the room that each bottle is a unique science experiment *cough - cough* (New work edict - if you don't clean the bottles before you give them back you don't get more. Goes with the first edict, if I give you beer at work and you forget to take it home you lose it the next morning when I come in and find it on your desk...)

 

[mordantly]

sounds fair to me on all counts of the indictment!

 

[Milesteg]

When you're taking homebrew over to a friends house and am trying to fiqure out the best way to buckle it up so its safe if you get into an accident!

 

[tdoft]

You think "smelling the blow off tube" sounds like a pleasant experience!

 

[user 22118]

You think "smelling the blow off tube" sounds like a pleasant experience!

And you do daily to make sure that your beer is going to come out fine, even after thirty batches.

Great thread!

Um...er........it is food grade.......the Star San

 

[MarshyTheKid]

When you go to a beer store that is known for its large selection of beer and there are more beers that you have tried than you haven't tried.
Even moreso when you have a hard time finding a new beer

 

[hbomb]

When your six year criticizes other adult's taste in beer.

 

[Snafu]

..... when you have left one of those 'good/fancy' restaurants just because you didn't like their beer selection.
