When you have more freezers / refrigerators for beer than for food.

Guilty!!

How about a book entitled Beer: It's What's For Dinner.

You would seriously consider buying any of the fake book titles listed, if they ever get written.

When you get all your buddy's over to help empty a keg so it will be open for the batch that almost done fermenting

 

[Cheesy_Goodness]

I feel sure this has been said before but...
When you have a commercial beer that you used to love and it's extremely disappointing compared to your own homebrew.

When you're in the kitchen and your 4 year old son walks in and says "Daddy...are you making beer?" And your reply is "no buddy....just making dinner".

When you see this in a news story about Washington's legalized pot law...

...and you think "dang, looks like my kitchen table on brew day... the gloves are a bit anal, though, hops are a hot-side addition, they'll get sanitized in the boil."

 

[finsfan]

:rockin: niiiiiicccccce!

 

[unionrdr]

Gee,I hope yer not busy for about a month!...

Actually that photo was taken of me during my last brew. I made a Trippel Belgian hopped with pot...

I dubbed it "It's a TRIP ale"

It's picking up steam in the brew world... Mauie brewing co. Wants to do a collaboration brew... "Mauie's wowie winter warmer" going to be a seasonal for Christmas.

Or maybe a sour deisel doppelbock?!...:cross:

I would just feel its a waste and those beers will probably be expensive

Sounds dank.

I once ran across a strain called "white-boy Bob Sagat".. I giggled for quite a while, naturally.

It's only expensive if you outsource ... Not too bad if you harvest your own.

The prob is thc is fat soluble. Fat in beer won't work, so I came up with a process similar to left hands nitro in a bottle. I won't paten it since I don't want to release my secret.

Well that and after one bottle I forgot how I did it.

 

[GrogNerd]

as much as we love it, the topic is a no-no.

and by we, I mean you guys. I never touch the stuff

 

[DrunkleJon]

Well played. lets not get another well loved long lasting thread closed.

 

[SPR-GRN]

you know you're a homebrewer when - You adjust the temperature of each room in your house to an optimal temperature step for lagering..
I'm running four stages for my lager..
stage 1 - kitchen @ 62-65 (about 24hrs)
stage 2 - Den @ 55-58 (2 days)
stage 3 - guest bedroom @ 52-54 (7 days/until gravity stabilizes)
stage 4 - basement @ 45-48 (7 days under pressure)
stage 5 - keezer @ 38 (until it's gone under pressure)

by stage 5 I'll probably be drinking it.

Also my wife doesn't think I'm crazy, so I've got that going for me too.

When you have 4 different beers bottled up for Christmas carbing & conditioning in the man cave where you can see them piling up. Warm front ahead of a huge storm they say can drop temp 50 degrees coming. And here I am in need of supplies to make use of the new 3rd fermenter...

 

[WilliamSlayer]

When the wife says to you 'What do you want for christmas?' then stops and says' Nevermind, the gift certificate from the home brew shop will cost me enough.'

Yup... I'm anxiously awaiting Christmas Day to get my beer faucets to get my kegerator and portable kegerator finished.

 

[geek_chaser]

My husband bought me a recipe for my birthday for a honey brown nut ale. Mmmm can't wait to brew!!!

 

[Face Eater]

Might as well get another brewing tattoo.

 

[insanim8er]

When your friend says, "I'd tap that," but you fail to see a keg anywhere in sight... I guess those girls were blocking it.

When you order an orange juice at a diner for your 4-year old son and when it comes he looks at it quizzically and asks, "Is this beer?"
