You know you're a home brewer when?

While making oatmeal in the morning, you let it soak at 153F for 60 minutes. Then you proceed to filter out the oats and drink the remaining liquid.

When you think up brews to match holidays, birthdays or other events. For example, I just brewed my ESP for the Mayan apocalypse and named it The Bitter End.

When you post on HBT on Christmas Day.

Hahaha this! I couldn't wait to show my presents to people who would care about home brewing stuff.

 

[Effingbeer]

When you can't wait to patrol Craigslist for homebrew stuff that people got for Christmas and don't want/need.

how many out there like to brew a special batch for each holiday, even if you make one for Hanukkah but you're not jewish?

Do you make your own Manesewitz too?

ive never heard of this, but upon investigation, it refers to kosher wine. doesnt kosher mean it contains extra garlic? or just being jewish tradition?

It's Jewish dietary laws. It gets a little complicated. But no it has nothing to do with garlic.

Then use the spent oatmeal to make dog biscuits!

When you lay down to sleep thinking of your next brew, but suddenly come up with a change to your recipe so you are unable to sleep until you get up and enter the change in BrewSmith. Happened to me the other day.

 

[AerationStation]

The sound of a glugging airlock is music to your ears

Several ingredients cannot be used, for instance certain flavorings and finings are not considered kosher. So those and any equipment that has come in contact with them cannot be used in the making of a kosher wine/beer.

So for example, Isinglass could not be used since it comes from the swim bladder of sturgeon--a fish considered unclean.

When using a new water filter, you first perform a vorlauf.

The directions pretty much tell you to.

 

[bwirthlin]

Your tv says 1080p and you immediately think about an OG reading.

Oh, that's that new hippy bread at the walmart. Don't want any of that multiplegrained stuff. Yuck.

meat and dairy must be kept separate also, so no Bratwurst Milk Stout

Is the lactose derived from milk products or is made another way?

 

[luke_d]

You know you're a homebrewer when you hear/read "EKG" and you don't think electrocardiograph. You think East Kent Goldings.

You know you've spent too much time working in a hospital when you know they mean hops and still think electro cardio gram

So, if I wanted to make Kosher wine for a friend, i'd need all new equipment? Bummer...

 

[DRonco]

You "whirlpool" your french press so the grounds don't stick to the spoon.

 

[unionrdr]

When you're lookin forward to an ale that fermented while the house is a bit chilly.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

when most of your weekend plans involve beer. and not just drinking beer.

 

[CTR08]

When you buy a mill, 50# sacks of two row, and start thinking about roasting your own special malts... And check this forum several times a day even before joining...

And you get sad without a fermenter with an airlock or blowoff tube bubbling for more than 2 days haha, you know it's Time to brew again at this phase

Yeah and when you house hits 60 degrees and you kindly ask living mates to please not touch the heat dial...

Or when you know your girlfriend hates beer but new batch you try you say to her, "oh my god baby you gotta try this batch I think you would love it!"
And she says, "I Donno... Smells like beer.."
Oh yeah... More fore me
