You know you're a home brewer when?

[Eco]

You walk in your office at work and wonder why there are cornies in there and immediately realize its the coffee pumper pots. I did this twice already this morning though.

 

[jmlabeck]

You're hungry, you open the cabinet. Instead of actually thinking about supper, you look at things in the cabinet and think "That would ferment."

 

[Lucky_Chicken]

you have 23 gallons of brew ready to drink, 15 aging, and 5 fermenting, and think... i should brew more this weekend.

 

[Lucky_Chicken]

the home brew shop calls your cell phone because they havent seen you in a while and wanted to make sure everything is ok.

Why stop at the cabinet? I walk through EVERY store I visit (and life most days) as if I were a yeast cell. "I can ferment that.", "I can't ferment that but I bet it would add a nice flavor."

When you try to drink a commerical brew and gag! :cross:

 

[unionrdr]

When you start worrying about new flavors & aromas you added to your beers coming out right. Then take a walk down the produce section & baking needs isle to take your mind off it by looking for new ones. I need that fix now,matter of fact...

 

[SkiSoloII]

When you're happy the keg kicks so that you can put the one you've just filled into the kegerator - needs carbing!

When your second grader goes to catechism. They are making bread and she pipes up with "grains, yeast, water? Those are the same ingredients my Daddy uses to make beer!"

When you get perturbered that the beer competitions take up so many of your hard-work delabeled bottles and you don't get any back - I need to start working competitions.

 

[FizorZed]

When you gather the courage to build your own bottle tree and wort cooler.

 

[ReuFroman]

When you try to convince your soon to be wife that we could get a smaller cake and a better fermentation set up with the money your saving.

 

[edmanster]

When your kids ask why your not brewing or "making beer" this weekend...

Haha, indeed! My neighbors saw my IC and thought I was distilling and asked me if anything could blow up!

 

[mcm192]

When you walk down the aisle in the grocery store wondering, "I wonder if I can ferment that."

 

[cdubbaya]

When you aren't that upset about forgetting your anniversary or your wife's birthday, but you're pissed you missed mash temp by 4 degrees.

 

[unionrdr]

When you find a way to rob Peter to pay Paul,just so you can get your pipeline going again. And your wife jumps in going to the LHBS with you to brew some more herself!

 

[NatureNurd]

You use a mop on the ceiling.

 

[johnodon]

...you wake up in the middle of the night to run down to the basement to watch bubbles.

 

[unionrdr]

Or when you do it 1st thing in the morning to get a whiff as well.

 

[Brewchitect]

When you love driving to work on Tuesday mornings at 6:00am because you stop a few times to take bottles out of peoples recycle bins.

 

[Tankedlush]

You are a determining factor in whether other people go to a gathering, because going to a crappy event is "OK if you're bringing homebrew"!

 

[stumpwater]

When you walk by a couple of women at Wallmart and hear them talking about a yeast infection and you wonder what kind they were using & if they sanitized properly? I know i will catch hell for this , but i have had a good day brewing and drinking brews and i'm to drunk to know what i am typing ok. I will drink one for u if u will drink one for me .

[BrewinBigD]

when you walk into home depot, you can think of 100 different things to make for your brewhouse in the plumbing aisle.

OR...

when every empty 5 gallon bucket on your property smells like beer.

 

[ElevenBrewCo]

when you go to the brew shop to many times so now your girlfriend refers to it as the porn store. On the phone? beer porn! on the laptop? Beer porn! in the garage? drinking and beer porn.

 

[Martin75]

When you run out of beer and start drinking all the microbreweries beers to you find at the store untill you have the time to brew again! Then you don't stop brewing for the next 5 o 6 weekends..lol

 

[unionrdr]

I've got whole new one;When something in the brewing world comes along & humbles you. Right at the point where you think you got something outside the box brewing. When you see they're brewing something new & ground breaking that completely blows you over the guardrail kind of humility. I was truly revitalized...

 

[ReuFroman]

When your employees bet on how fast you will make a brewing reference in the Monday marketing meeting.
And the one who said 45 seconds won.
