You know you're a home brewer when?

[unionrdr]

...when you simply cannot walk past the baking needs isle. Too many brewing possibilities down that isle not to look for new stuff...

 

[Krovitz]

Your gf says she needs barley from the supermarket for some recipe and you say, why don't we just go to the homebrew store?

 

[DRonco]

When your wife starts finding spent bottle caps in the children's dresser drawers. And she says "They're starting a collection."

 

[OhReally]

When your company offers you health insurance that's 90% cheaper than your current plan, and you start thinking about what new piece of equipment to buy with all the money you're saving...

When the only time you clean your kitchen is before brew day

when you look at copper and think about turning it into a chiller

when you rate a beer and try to break down its recipe from taste alone

 

[Komodo]

When you text your wife in the middle of the day, and ask her to go sing to your yeast.

 

[jethro55]

When you turn the thermostat down (in winter!) To maintain fermentation temps...

It just has to be done !

 

[RandomBeerGuy]

When you watch brew videos on youtube just to pass the time between batches

 

[unionrdr]

When you start the mash,& come on here to pass the time. Or right after brew/bottling day is done with some shots & beers.:rockin:

You remember when something was brewed/bottled but not your kid's birthday

 

[RainyDay]

When you're a guy and have had a yeast infection.

When you walk into your LHBS an everyone yells your name like you're Norm from Cheers.

 

[1GR8DA]

When looking for a new home, insufficient brewing space is a deal breaker.

 

[chipsah]

This happens in your kitchen/dining room and it's not even half of your gear...

 

[Silentnoiz]

You pass a semi tanker hauling CO2 on the interstate and wonder how many kegs of beer it could carb.

 

[RandomBeerGuy]

When you celebrate the day you first brewed like its your birthday and many years later your still excited about brewing.

The day I first brewed was my birthday!

You know you're a homebrewer when you spend your birthday brewing.

You know you're a homebrewer when you spend your birthday brewing.

I brew on my birthday every year. The exact same style too - lambic. That way I ALWAYS remember to brew a lambic every year, and thus have all the ages I ever need to blend.
