Woke up from a dream where I was talking with Justin Crossley about not going on so much about golf during The Sunday Session on the BN.
I first asked him if he saw Bubba win the Masters. It was a polite conversation.

When talk of the gradual conversion to fluorescent light bulbs throws you in such a panic that you hit every store across town to stockpile on incandescent bulbs just to be sure you'll have safe brewing light for the next 100 years or so.

When you wonder how your washing machine would work as a 20 gallon MLT and if you could stick a sparge in that giant collander of a wash drum.

When you are trying to sell your house and part of you thinks it would be better to hold off, because what are you going to do with that Imperial Stout in the fermentation chamber when you have to move your ****!?
When you're happy to give all your friends beer, but if they forget to return the bottles, they are no longer your friends
When the waiter at the BYOB takes your empty homebrew bottle and its takes your whole force of will not to interrupt polite conversation to demand your bottle back...
When your buddy shows up to BYOB restaurant with commercial beer and you wonder, "didn't he read the sign?"
Your boss catches you pulling bottles out of the office garbage and wonders if you are getting paid enough... then when you explain he offers to trade you empties for full bottles of homebrew at a 1:1 ratio :cross:
When flocculation stops sounding dirty

This is where you say "oh I was simply thinking about how gorgeous you are, and was wondering if you'd like me to make you up a special batch of (whatever you want to brew) to show my appreciation"
When you can tell who's been drinking on this forum, and who was sober bob. Me for instance, was sober Jim! Well, I guess I still am. But anyway, enough of that, next!
the moment when you start going outside the laws of fundamental physics, and reap reward for the troubles involved.. such as only drinking half a beer, to top the rest up with another kind. Yes, this was and is rewarding, for me anyway! Included both coz I can't remember if I've finished it yet or not
The moment when you make a homebrew beer slush puppy..

Confused. What does this have to do with brewing?
to keep a heated fermentation chamber. I think?

Fluorescent light skunks beer.

That could be it. But I just didn't think of it. In the south it's hard to have a reason to warm the fermentation chamber.
I thought all light skunks beer. Maybe fluorescent more then others?

... you realize that you can clean everything in the house, and make it look like new, with the same chemical agents used for your brewing grear.
... you get yelled at by the neighborhood gardeners association for attempting to rent community garden space, which sole purpose is to grow hops.

When you stall the waiter on ordering your dinner because you want to make sure your beer is gone first. Food may kill the flavor of the beer.
When you stage your evening of IPA drinking so that you have the one you havent tried before, first. You need to make sure you are smelling and tasting on a fresh palate to give it the fairest review.
When you know you'll get fat if you drink beer and eat food around the same time (your body will prioritize the beer and store the food as fat) so you eat a 100 calorie salad, wait an hour... Then drink!
When the above plan fails and you're getting fat anyway.
When you put your home brew in the back of the fridge for fear that someone will hit the bottle and rustle up the yeast.
When you yell at your wife for putting your beer on the door of the fridge for the very same reason.
When you come home from a long day of work to find the beer you were about to enjoy on its side in the fridge and you instantly give said roommate or wife an earful and a lesson on why they can't do that.
When you just realized you told your wife exactly how to get you to drink less in the evening.

This used to be my problem, but now it's the other way around...
You know you're a home brewer when you have enough boxes of empty bottles to stack a full pallet!
I finally scored a couple corny kegs last week. All I need is a fridge now. When I start kegging I'll be donating some of my 500+ bottles
