Lol, AMEN brother!When you have 6 cases of beer under your bed, a full wine fridge, a fermenter filled, and still think that you are running low on beer supply.
You get your weekend batch down Union?When you still have brain fades while doing something in your brewing process.
Is it taking a class or something? Just what went threw my head when I read that.You keep typing IPA instead of PDF (I'm debating my next brew)

That's me. I can't just sit and enjoy a beer anymore without thinking about how I would go about brewing something similar, so I've started looking at it as research.When you consider drinking store bought beer as "research"
I bottled a batch a while back and didn't have any star san so I soaked the bottles in bleach water. One of the guys helping me bottle didn't rinse all the bottles properly so some of them ended up with a nasty chlorphenol taste. Since then, I've had "nightmares" where I pop open a bottle and smell band-aids - and then proceed to pour and drink it and taste band-aids - and then I can't get rid of the awful taste but I can't wake up... AAAAH!!When you wake up from a dream where you taste tested your latest batch. It tasted -- nightmarishly -- bland, like soda.

when you no longer make coffee, you "sparge the grounds".You switch from coffee to tea just so you can steep on a daily basis.
