You know you’re a homebrewer (with too many friends) when it takes a case of beer to brew two cases of beer.
You know you're a home brewer when?

You know you're a BIAB homebrewer when you have to break out the mash tun for the ONE high gravity batch you've done in yonks, it takes forever, and there's more to clean; and you remind yourself WHY you love BIAB so much, at least 5 times during the brewday.
When your wife finally agrees that you need a dedicated brewery/bar space and decides that she is going to design it next build it out for you. Sacrificing her cafe/lounge space.
OK--Now we need to know how you finagled that
Have a brew schedule that is constantly churning out beer. Make her blackberry mead, tell her you will make her wine for her own craft sangria she makes. And just be a good dude.

Is the "be a good dude" part a deal breaker?

Crush it REAL Good
When you have a hurt back and you need to move your fermenter out of the fermenter chamber to the table so you can rack to your keg. You then take practice runs lifting with your legs and keeping your back perfectly straight. Well you manage to successfully move the fermenter without hurting yourself and while you are basking in your own glory the wife sees you and you get a ten minute lecture about doing ******* things when your back is still healing.

Been there; done that. Got a $15 deer hoist from Harbor Freight, and I no longer have trouble lifting kegs into my keezer! Cheers!
I'm right there with you bud! About 20 years ago I was working on a 2 story apartment roof and backed right off it. Shattered 2 vertebrae and spent 4 months in a body cast. I still get "The Lecture".
No, when you think for a split second "a soak in Star-San should..."
Then... Well, then you are a homebrewer needs to order a new 2" bung.
Come on, a good soak will do wonders!
Well - PBW first, then Star San, right?
PBW, Star-San, bleach...
Nope. Trash.
Yeah seriously though, you’re right. If your bung has been under the floor down the toilet its time to buy a new one.
But who among us didn't think it?
Do you buy new hands every time you wipe your butt?
No, but my hands don't touch the poop (normally). That's what the paper is for.

Back in the day we would give it 30 seconds in 'One Step.' It cleaned AND sanitized.
Some things you might say I’m a little “funny” about. That would be one of them. It would have been in the trash so fast you might not have even seen it!
It all makes sense for a new unit…. Butt then there’s the thread about brewing in the bathroom.

I guess no one wants to hear what I use for a mash tun.
Don’t tell me; you push a little metal handle down and a whole tank of water flushes, uh sparges, your grain? 
Brew in a bowl.
Ismellweird says no need.
I was not even here when that guy became famous, but I still get the joke because he lives on in new posts.
Been quiet here for a little so I'll just leave this Pic, you get it...
His spirit lives on in our fervent pursuit of aromatic bungs.
How about when you buy a new printer just so you can print bottle labels? And you have a subscription to chat gpt AI to make labels for you.
