You know you're a home brewer when?

[DrunkleJon]

When you walk through the store and see air pumps and before you can say anything your wife says, "I know it can be used for beer, no you can't have it"

Awww... no offense intended to your SWMBO, but... That B****! Deny you toys... One of these days Alice, POW!!! Right in the kisser!

I kid, I kid. One day...

When your wife's friend asks for a beer, and is offended when she sees you pull out a bottle you haven't de-labeled, because she thinks you're giving her a commercial brew.

Or your brewing software is set to automatically startup up on your computer.

When you stay up till 3 am on a weekday brewing because you are going Camping the following day for 4 days and have a hefe that needs to rack to a keg JUST so that you can use the yeast cake for another hefe.

Or maybe that just means im a cheap-ass.

Seems like sound planning to me:rockin:

When you bottle 15 gallons at a friends house, it takes 4 hours with setup and cleanup, and as you're leaving the host's wife tells one of the other brewers to wish his wife a happy birthday.

My Beersmith has a permanent Win7 tray icon. Always interesting when I'm hosting a LiveMeeting presentation and a coworker (or customer!) asks what the icon is ;-)

 

[unionrdr]

Ha,lolz. I'd like to see that. I only have two rows of icons on my desktop. And Beersmith2,browser & antibullocks icon are dead center.

 

[Hank_McGee]

You have 150 bottles of beer ready ... Another 10 gallons in primaries, 10 gallons in secondaries, 3 more 5 gal recipes planned and you're thinking what else should I make?

 

[beaver1992]

When you finish reading a 203 page thread and now your sad but you remember to rdwhahb and feel much better.

 

[HellBound]

Obviously you're a homebrewer, if you have beer fermenting. Jeez

 

[Billy-Klubb]

when someone asks what you do in reference to make a living, but you reply, "I brew beer." instead of the job that pays the bills. you pros aren't allowed to agree with this.

 

[Channel66]

When you read the fake troll titles thread and seriously consider turning a concrete mixer into a MLT.

I use mine to make/stir my yeast starters. Fermenting in a swimming pool just got way easier.

 

[beaksnbeer]

I used a small Harbor freight one that was just a bit bigger then a 5 gallon pail. I used it to wet condition grain before milling. They had a recall on it and ended up with a gift card and haven't seen them in the store since.

That's just crazy. There's no way to seal a swimming pool! It's only good for wild fermentations....

When you are moving, and your bros want to take you out... but you propose hanging out at your LHBS instead for an 'extended tasting session'.

 

[TangoHotel]

The intense panic felt when there is nothing fermenting. Just felt this recently for a day, and quickly mixed up EdWorts Apfelwein just to give some yeast a home.

Not sure of why I feel the panic, there's only 250 bottles that are ready/conditioning at the moment...

[jonmohno]

When you look at your empty brewpots/carboys that have been resting for a period of time and feel sorry for them like your neglecting them.Then you go to your basement and look at your pipeline and begin to feel like a horder. Then you just shrug it off and go back up to procede looking through brewing catalogs.

 

[Komocabo]

When your alarm goes off in the morning and you sprint to the fermentation chamber just to see if it kicked off. You rejoice with the burping happy yeast, then head back to your room for a shower.
