You know you're a brewer if...

[brewmonk]

and then 'dry-sugar it in the secondary'?

 

[RichBenn]

When you re-route your vacation route to try a seasonal IPA so you can taste Citra hops....

When you re-route your vacation route to try a seasonal IPA so you can taste Citra hops....

Ah, but why was the vacation not originally routed through that venue??

 

[PTisch]

you find a jar of marshmallow fluff in your cupboard and wonder "Can I brew with this?"

 

[PTisch]

an empty keg is a world of possibilities and not a buzz kill.

 

[PTisch]

the ladies in your life are hollow glass.

 

[brewmonk]

You've ever had a 5 gallon black and tan (I have to find that pic).

 

[northernlad]

you are the only one at work who notices that Univex makes a mixer model SRM30+.

 

[Brewmoor]

Your sitting in the emergency room staring at all the tubes and gadgets wondering..........can I find a way to incorperate those things into my rig? I am sure the hospital won't miss that stuff.

 

[Teromous]

When you go to buy beer, and only grab bottles with pop caps.

When you freak out after seeing a brew pail being used as a garbage can.
(Actually happened. A person didn't know what it was and used it as a garbage can.)

 

[Netflyer]

When you share in this incredulous feeling:

(Actually happened. A person didn't know what it was and used it as a garbage can.)

 

[Pickngrin]

...you're more into false bottoms than fake breasts.

 

[Guntr]

You ask a waitress what beer they have, she says "Everything", then you rhyme of 30+ beers they don't have.

In college you always brought a 24 to a party to share... weekly.

when someone mentions green beer you dont think of heineken

[kmack747]

go to the party store and ask to see their selection of empties

 

[gtpro]

This morning I took out a bowl for cereal when I noticed a bit of dried food on it that the dishwasher had missed. Box of cereal in hand, I actually said to myself "I can just rack on top of that."

 

[EvilTOJ]

You begin to wonder what the grains meant for livestock at Tractor Supply would taste like if you brewed it up.

I was at the feed store yesterday buying some chicken feed, and looking through their menu at their grain selection. No barley, but I did see a 50 lb bag of cut oats for $15. Got me to thinking how many stouts I could make....

Then I realized I'm not a huge fan of stouts, so I threw out that idea. I should ask them to start stocking malted barley for me

 

[brewagentjay]

<--Newbie here, but how about you are thinkig of skipping work because your brewing equipment and first beer kit is being delievered today...........

 

[rmolledo]

when you buy apple juice not for the juice, but for the perfect 1 gal fermentor in which it occupies.

When you replace all the potpourie in the house with Hops.

When you find yourself sneaking homebrew into restaurants and weddings.

When you have brewing equipment stashed away in a secret hiding spot JUST in case prohibition is ever reinstated.

 

[rmolledo]

......when you spend more time at work on this and other beer sites then doing actual work

...oops, im at work right now...

 

[ardentfrost]

When you're at someone's house, notice they're using a carboy for some decorative purpose (maybe to hold loose change), and you try to think of some way to liberate it so it can fulfill its true purpose at your house.

 

[rmolledo]

I just read all the pages and LOL at the cop thing. I was brewing at a buddys house and 3 squads drove by slow, then one finally noticed what we were doing and just waved. After brewing I went home and the last cop saw my squad in my driveway and asked what we were doing, he will now probably be my backup for life.

I was pulled over the other day for rolling a stop sign and I had two 22oz bottles of homebrew on the passanger seat, buckled in. He asked what it was and I told him it was homebrew. He let me go with just a warning.

 

[Lunarpancake]

your friends father (whom you consider a bit of a brew connoisseur) is finally convinced to try a taste of your newest brew. He insists on only a sip since due to the hour he should be asleep anyways. He sips, smiles, and asks for a little bit more because he couldn't "judge" it by the small half glass you gave him to taste.

 

[rmolledo]

you judged obama not on his policy, but on what beer he decided to drink durring that professior/cop beer date.

 

[Narnad]

-When your two year old points out any beer bottle, beer sign or beer billboard as "daddies beer".

-When said two year old tells the bubbling fermenters "Good night" and "Good morning".

-When the firefighters, who are there investigating a possible carbon monoxide leak, call you inside saying "Ah, the levels are low enough. What beers are you brewing up?"

 

[SkiSoloII]

You ask a waitress what beer they have, she says "Everything", then you rhyme of 30+ beers they don't have.

This drives my SWMBO crazy. Whenver they say "everything," her first remark is "don't tell him that, do you have a beer list?"

 

[thebigt85]

When you look at the water cooler at work and wonder if it could somehow be converted into a fermenter and check to see if the bottles are PET

 

[BenjaminR]

You ask a waitress what beer they have, she says "Everything", then you rhyme of 30+ beers they don't have.

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.


Also as a brewer and a bit of a fabricator I always am attracted to large stainless steel things that I dream about turning into brewing equipment. Mmmm stainless steel!

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