Yep that applies too!

Apologies for the flippancy - always noted that we've been luckier than most.

Wish everyone was as fortunate, hope same for you.

Oh it's ok, I'm not trying to be a bummer. We have been blessed ourselves. Just saying my wife would like to get a bigger fridge too, but it's low on her list right now. High on my list though since I want to current fridge for a kegerator.

That's a sweet deal you got though!

When you're house sitting for a week and you re-arranged the second fridge of the house to accommodate a 5-gallon carboy for a cold-crash.

I took a picture so I can put everything back in the right spot.

 

[RandomBeerGuy]

When you are away from your fermenters you start to miss them.

 

[RandomBeerGuy]

When its brewing time, the wife and kids understand daddy needs alone time.

 

[unionrdr]

When you go to the store for some ods-n-ends,remember the beer,& forget the cigs.

 

[DryHoppinMad]

When you plan your next 2 weeks worth of meals with as few perishables as possible, and what perishables you have go in the freezer because you use your rackless fridge to ferment lagers.....yes I do.:rockin:

Or, as I've read before, when you use a mop on the ceiling. I laughed, until it happened to me. A 1.064 OG Jamil's Evil Twin AG from Northern Brewer, plastic airlock. Got home from work the day after brew day and the place reeked of soggy bread. Rounded the corner to where the carboy was....uh-huh. Shredded a sponge mop on the textured ceiling trying to get rid of the sludge. Year and a half later, much is still there. Probably have to paint over it.

 

[duckredbeard]

You can RDWAHAHB even with SWMBO.

 

[tchfunkta]

When your wife catches you on all fours sniffing the burps coming out of your carboy.

 

[Dan]

When you graduated high school 28 years ago and recently contemplate enrolling in the community college to learn to weld so you can make your own brew stand, take a biology class to learn more about yeast and a chemistry class to understand brewing water.

 

[andysim]

.....you are trying to figure out how not only how to brew your beer, but temperature control ferment it while staying in an extended stay hotel. (three month stay)

 

[RandomBeerGuy]

When you have 3 carboys bubbling, 1 carboy cold crashing, 2 kegs full.

When store bought brews micro and commercial instantly become inferior to your homebrew.

 

[Marko1983]

You fill the propane tank for beer more often than the grill.

 

[SkipperNC]

When you have 5 fetmenting carboys sitting in a bathtub, of your master bedroom.

 

[Saxomophone]

You put a pot of old fashioned oatmeal on the stove and wonder how it would turn out if you cooked it at cooler temps then slowly stepped it up to a boil.

 

[Golddiggie]

You put a pot of old fashioned oatmeal on the stove and wonder how it would turn out if you cooked it at cooler temps then slowly stepped it up to a boil.

Or use a bit less water in the oatmeal and add some of your oatmeal stout (or other dark brew) towards the end of the cook time... :rockin:

 

[halister]

When you have to turn up the tv to drown out the airlock bubbler because it's in the living room...

 

[TheBusterBrew]

When you spend your lunch breaks searching for the ten nearest breweries and formulate plans to visit each one for a tour by year's end.

 

[BrewinBigD]

You fill the propane tank for beer more often than the grill.

When you run outta beer propane and push back the family cookout for an hour or two to borrow the grill tank to finish your boil.
