You know you're a home brewer when?

[TNGabe]

You use your stir plate to make koolaid.

I'm tellin ya, that's way more stir plate than you need. I'd be happy to take it off your hands. Mine sucks, barely pulls a vortex on 1L and won't if there is krausen.

 

[emjay]

I got to be a tester for the "Black Maxx" stir plate that pulls a vortex on a 5gal carboy!

Already had a homemade one that did just fine with my 5L Erlenmeyer flask, but wasn't going to pass up a much better one for free.

Still need to experiment fermenting mead on it. I'm pretty sure the constant stirring + staggered nutrient additions will result in a mead that is ready to drink quite quickly.

Wrong thread

You no longer count the hours to calculate time of day in different time zones. You just check the "What are you drinking now?" thread.

Worth of books? Dang

Yeah, there are several brewing science textbooks on there...

So that makes up a large chunk.

I thought my New Complete Joy of Homebrewing 2nd Edition, 1991 was ancient

Very cool. I'm on mobile so I can't see how old it might be. Do you know?

 

[WilliamSlayer]

Your onto something!

When you grab a verity pack on a office resupply trip for work and the boss does not ask any questions when you return.

Oh that's good...

 

[insanim8er]

I think about 122 years... Says 1891

Replaced my hot water heater. Before I hauled the old one off, my wife walked in as I was cutting off the copper pipe connected to the relief valve.

Wife-"what are you doing?"

Me-"saving this pipe."

Wife-"what for?"

Me-"...."

Wife-"never mind, dumb question."

When you brew two identical batches of IPA,where the only difference is the hop additions...one turns out 1.061,as basically expected. & the 2nd one a couple days later comes out 1.074?! & you know you stirred the snot outta both,what with all that foam. Efficiency musta been through the roof!

 

[worxman02]

When your roommate needs some gas-x and mentions that the main ingredient is simethicone and you think, "Hmmm....that sounds familiar". Then it clicks in your head and you run to your brew box and pull out the bottle of infant gas relief you bought when you couldn't find your fermcap-s on your last brewday.

Just tell her you are recycling scrap metal. Then sell the rest that you do not use to a scrapyard and spend it on brewing stuff. How can she frown over saving the environment?
