You know you're a home brewer when?

[RandomBeerGuy]

When beer becomes an extended part of your family.

 

[jamoke]

When the phone rings at 2AM and your offered $50 for a case of homebrew.

 

[hophead44]

inorite!

It's really much cooler in there than any other place in the house so when I need to move my fermenters from the guest bathtub it makes me cry a little inside.

You know you might be a homebrewer when you would seriously consider wearing a cologne that smelled like fresh hops...if they made it.

In one of my recent issues of Beer Magazine they had an article on how to make aftershave out of you favorite hops. Haven't tried it yet. Looks pretty interesting.

When the Hop on Hop off city tour bus sign reminds you of brewing...

When you see an artichoke in the grocery store and for a second you think, "Man, that's the biggest hop I've ever seen!"

 

[RandomBeerGuy]

When you educate people on how to pour a brew correctly.

 

[RandomBeerGuy]

When you can place your glass of brew on your stomach and remove your hands.

 

[Bubba]

When your in the middle of having sex and your watching your airlock bubble.

When you've got no rood for food in your fridge... haha.

 

[Lucky_Chicken]

When you've got no rood for food in your fridge... haha.

when you spell "room" "rood" you are a homebrewer that has been sampling

Not that I have never misspelled anything on this forum


or how about... when everyone that samples your brew says "I would pay for some of that" which leads to a long conversation about how thats not legal, but one day you would like to get licensed.

Cant remember who posted this one, and am too lazy to look it up, but just wanted to restate my all time favorite;

You know know you're a homebrewer when
"you estimate SRM at the urinal"

When you get home from running kids to the dr & the 1st thing you do is ask the wife to join you in a home brewed bottle of rhumatize medicine.

 

[jonmohno]

When you often replace supper with beer to (reduce and thin the pipeline herd) to make room for new breeds.

 

[Stauffbier]

When you watch a TV show like Storage Wars - Texas and notice a Bayou Classic Kettle in the storage unit they just opened..

 

[Tizzomes]

When your wife realizes making beer at home isn't the BIG money saver you where originally preaching.

 

[OkashiiBrew]

when you see the caller ID is work and you know they want you to come to work..... You grab a home brew and have a swig before answering so you can say "Just had a beer but if you give me time to get straight I can come in to work" and they say no because they know you can't work impaired. Score!!!! now you can get on with your brew day. Heck who cares if it is 5Am and you started drinking, you get an earlier start on the brew day.

 

[captianoats]

You say goodnight to your fermenters.

You invite friends over for free beer because your brewing faster than your drinking.

 

[duckredbeard]

You set up a webcam so you can watch the airlock bubble while you are away.
