You know you're a home brewer when?

[biochemedic]

I support my LHBS with the purchase of specialty grains but buy everything else in bulk or online. I usually choose my vendor by the selection and price, so if one has everything but is a bit more expensive I'll still bite. Shipping can be a huge factor too!

When wifey gives the toddler on daddy's birthday a shirt that says "Homebrewed"

When you've gone from, "What can I brew that tastes like what I buy?" to "What can I buy that tastes like what I brew?"

Wow. Just turned this corner .myself!

When you wake up in the middle of the night because you have been dreaming of all the different types of hops that you can use for your next brew.

When you get robbed and check on your beer to make sure its okay first.

You got robbed? Was the beer okay?

 

[postalroger]

When you have 2-3 cases of commercial beers but prefer your homebrew to them.

When you have 2-3 cases of commercial beers but prefer your homebrew to them.

And you can't stop saying (when you're drinking your own homebrew) this is the best frigging beer I've ever had!

 

[Craigmn]

You got robbed? Was the beer okay?

Yeah. I know who did it. All he did was steal my laptop and about 100 bucks. I'm really Only mad about losing pictures of my sons birth. God and the police will sort him out because I can't risk "dealing with it myself"

Family comes over for dinner, and leaves with more beer than they brought!

 

[mysteryshrimp]

When you open a fridge, smell rotten eggs, and smile.

 

[Cathedral]

...when you have the first nine digits of your ups tracking numbers memorized because you do so many trades... or you can tell what is coming from whom and where just by the numbers...

[TAK]

When you spend 4 hours moving a couple used fridges from house to house, just so you can put the oldest reject fridge into you're basement, where you already have another fridge.

 

[zzARzz]

When you get irritated with your non-brewing friends because they don't rinse out your empties, no matter how many times you've asked nicely. What am I, their mother?!

No beer for you!

 

[TangoHotel]

When SWMBO uses the 'you can spend 5 hours doing _______ for your beer, but you can't was out the wok/take out the garbage/fold some laundry/(add additional extraneous jobs here )'

That really grinds my gears. Especially when it's HER hefe, and I don't drink wheat beers...

 

[larrydcarter]

Yeah I called SWMBO on that one one time. She got mad at me for spending to much time on the beer and then hours later asked me to make my black cherry ale (her favorite) again some time soon.

 

[TrustyOlJohnson]

No beer for you!

Thats how I roll! "Here, have some free beer! Jus tell whatcha think, and can you bring the empties back rinsed?" If they dont, no more free beer.

 

[grasshopperfirestarter]

I just opened my fermentation chamber to smell inside and my 2 1/2 year old daughter asked, Daddy are you making beer?!

 

[WilliamSlayer]

Yes! Mine told the babysitter the other day. "These are daddys wine bottles." Proud poppa I am!

 

[baltaperales]

I just opened my fermentation chamber to smell inside and my 2 1/2 year old daughter asked, Daddy are you making beer?!

My four year old Son asked me once, Dad, when I get older, can I make beer also? My response, of course you can, we'll do it together.

I've had this same thing with my 2 1/2 year old son.

Hey biochemedic, sorry for the late reply. My wife got it on etsy: http://www.etsy.com/listing/1010256...clothing_low&gclid=CP_msKmXjLkCFYyd4AodLXsANQ

My 4 year old proudly tells anyone who will listen, that dad does not drink beer, he only drinks homebrew!

That's funny. Last year at parent/teacher conferences my daughter's teacher told me when asked what thier parents hobbies were, she said "my dad likes drinking beer and eating pizza". I was proud and embarrassed at the same time. I had to explain that my hobby goes much deeper than just drinking beer... We all had a good laugh.

That's actually why the wife ordered. She also had some real cool coasters with integrated bottle openers with my brew logo custom made for me. Will take pics and add a link! :rockin:
