You know you're a home brewer when?

[Whattawort]

When you're really excited to brew something new only to find you don't have the intended ingredient and you spend 4hrs between 3 grocery stores and a health food store for a suitable replacement. And no, clover honey is NOT the same as sage honey!

 

[BrewerBear]

When you see a sign for foam insultaion with FOAM in big letters that stood out you thought it was Fellowship of Oklahoma Ale Makers sign.

When I can't use my second bathroom and tub because it is filled with fermenters and secondaries.

SWMBO would "like" this.

 

[brieuxster]

When you decide today is the day your washing empties, and you find one that Is full, and you keg your beer.

 

[duckredbeard]

Your daughter has to take to school a few things that begin with the letter F and all you can come up with is Fermenter, Fuggles, Fermcap, Ferulic acid, Funnel, False bottom, Faucet, and Fittings.

 

[KeyWestBrewing]

If she actually took some fuggles into class that's just cool as hell. Needless to say she was the only that brought hops to class.

 

[jkendrick]

When you're trying to fit in bottling in between feedings for your 10 day old twins!

 

[kybar]

You have had to pound beers till sloppy drunk because your kegs are full and your short on bottles for the next batch.

Is that even humanly possible? I'm impressed!!!

 

[MikeM]

You get in a fight with you wife becuse the tea set she bought for your daughter is not food grade.

i've just converted. too bad my children will never be considered truly brewish...

They can be converted too. Just monitor the pH and don't overshoot your strike temp. The tincture of iodine test will tell you when they are converted. Don't mash them for longer than you need to.

 

[alpha224]

When filling out your facebook profile you enter "Brewish" for religion.

Would the proper name of that religion be "Brewdaism" ? Because I would love to help establish that idea... Considering I am ordained and all.

How about the Church of Fermentology? We could hand out pamphlets.

On another note...
Back on topic.

When you trim back your beard, because you don't think you're worthy as you havn't brewing as often as you think you should.

 

[duckredbeard]

You have widgets on your Android device that list your brewing needs and hop inventory.

 

[biohaz7331]

When you drive the car to work Instead of the truck to save money for more fermenters and brew kits.(The truck is so much more fun to drive though). When half your fridge in your apartment contains 2 kegs and a co2 tank. When you die a little inside when someone asks if your brew tastes like Natty (toilet water brew for cheap college students)

 

[jbaysurfer]

When you have 3 fridges and 2 are beer only

When you have 6 fridges, and 4 are beer only and SWMBO says you have a fridge fetish.

 

[Erroneous]

What app is that?

[BrewWhat]

When you have started kegging and you end up hauling a pickup truck load of bottles to the recycling center.

 

[BBL_Brewer]

When you brew in the basement and wait eagerly for your dog to start growling at the floor register. A sure sign that primary has begun.

 

[Effingbeer]

When you have started kegging and you end up hauling a pickup truck load of bottles to the recycling center.

I just did this this week. What a great feeling!

 

[jperry]

When your a guy who mops the floor, after bottling, to avoid the wrath of swimbo.

That's just common decency and ensuring you retain use of the kitchen later.

 

[jperry]

That's true, but I don't know many guys that will mop a floor, unless they are a home brewer.

 

[wuilliez]

When you try, and fail, to convince your SWMBO how awesome it was getting a ton of grolsch bottles at a dollar/bottle.

 

[neko]

You play Words With Friends and are surprised when they don't accept "Trub" "Krausen" "Vorlauf" and other German brewing words.
