You know you're a home brewer when?

[DrunkleJon]

Too bad they only used it as filler. Never really heard about Schroederbrau again after that.

 

[insanim8er]

Reminds me of Breaking Bad. I hated this DEA agent guy, until the episode where you found out he was a homebrewer, then I kinda started to like him.

sounds like an interesting name to a book.... "If Hitler were a Home Brewer."

Well, actually... In the last scene of the first half of the sixth season, when they're all out on the White's patio enjoying dinner just before Hank makes his memorable bathroom trip, you can hear that he and Walt are discussing brewing.

But yeah, Hank obviously hasn't gotten bitten by the brewing bug, as he only seems to brew every once in a while. Of course, he was a little pre-occupied with catching Heisenberg.

When you can walk right into your kitchen and pull a perfectly tempered pint of hand crafted saison right on draft... And head outside to enjoy the weather.



Now that's what it's all about! Hello summer... I've missed you.

 

[unionrdr]

Yup. Got sunburned arms & neck today...redneck suntan! You know you're a homebrewer when you'd rather be bottling & brewing instead of shopping all afternoon. But as a consolation,I did wind up with a 2nd raging bitch between my legs!...

When every random kettle, funnel, tubing, or glass ware gets you thinking of how you might use it to make beer

How about a "spoiler alert" next time!? Breaking Bad is on my list of things to watch. Oh well I doubt this is integral to the plot.

You drink a nice cold, perfectly crafted homebrew on a hot day after mowing the lawn, then you realize you only have 5 more left and you are 2 weeks out before you can keg or bottle your last batch. Then you break out into to cold sweats because you either stop drinking for a couple of weeks or go buy beer at the store, you then justify buying beer at the store with the rationalization that you need more bottles anyways

This. In spades. I lose a half case of bottles in every competition, so I guess I have to buy more beer!

When you get low on HB due to moving, and start rationing so you can have homebrew until the next batch is ready

 

[plath]

When your hb is so good you start to rethink packing some to take with you when you visit family because you don't want to share.

SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!

text in White, highlight to read:

also: Hank's recovery after his shootout with the cousins, during which he was having panic attacks, there was the episode with his bottle bombs. showing how stretched thin his nerves were

END OF SPOILER!

Don't worry, revealing that one of the characters brews is not the sort of thing I would consider a "spoiler." More like random trivia.

Been there, was thinking of it today for if I head out to an evening gathering of friends. Take the best to showcase skills, or take the good but not great to get it drank up to free the bottles. First world problems.

I'm not too concerned. I had a really long and frustrating day at work and was doing some homebrew quality control the instant I got home. Then naturally hit the internet afterwards. It's all good.

You start to realize why certain food items go bad.

Juice contains sugar.
Yeast like sugar.
Yeast is in the air and eventually gets into stuff.
Yeast creates wired off flavors at warm temperatures.
Refrigeration subdues yeast.

Woah ...

When you're pushing 60 & consider it a good weekend when you bottle & brew on said weekend...

Happened to me this weekend. But next weekend they will be here and I'll have to share. Crap!

 

[skitter]

I only deal with student loans, so you're good there

Sounds goodvthen, I brew every weekend as I only have equipment for 2.5g batchas. Stop by sometime

You smell your baby's diaper and wonder if it's done fermenting yet or is it at high krausen. (OK, gross out alert) Then you check it and think, "Wow! That has to have a gravity of at least 1.300!"

When you have to run to the bathroom real quick to flush your eye out because you got hop particles in it from huffing the bag.

Happened to me today, hops in the eye do not feel good.

Haven't had that happen yet but I huff each and every hop bag I open... Usually several times.

At least hops are a natural preservative...

When you move into the new place and the first thing you notice about the next door neighbour is that he is wearing a beer shirt AND the conversation eventually leads to him mowing your lawn for a few weeks for a six pack! Nice to have helpful neighbours!

 

[unionrdr]

When you start getting excited seeing the pipeline filling up! And beers in the fermenters getting ready for their turn to fill it up more!

 

[smalltimebrewer]

When you decide it's time to thin out your wardrobe because you're running out of room for cases of homebrew. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to Goodwill.

A few weeks? For one six pack?! Hell, I gave a buddy a sixer for mowing my lawn once while I was out of town!
