Whats up with your map man, hope that's not your house

I hope not also, otherwise his property values are dropping like a rock! That house sold in 1991 for over $3M and in 2003 they could only get $425,500! That sucks....

...when you stop thinking of winter as "cold dark wet snow shoveling season" and think of it as "crisp clear lager brewing season".

When you complain about warm winter days because you have lager in your fermenters.

Heck, my wife won't let me change out the sink faucet, because the stylish one we have on it wont take a bottle cleaner or wort chiller adapter. I actually find the two sink method doable in winter. While one side chills, I fill up the other sink with cold and ice, and when the water gets too warm, I swap sinks. Beats having to drain and refill a single sink. Would like to have a basement sink installed, but plumbers aren't cheap tho.

Where do you live, maybe some bartering is in order?

I was watching a local PBS food show last night and they profiled some local artisan jam makers. The guy was steeping a large amount of loose tea to use in the jam and, when the tea was ready, he ladeled the tea and leaves out of one pot and poured it through a strainer so the leaves stayed in the strainer and tea dripped into another pot.

I kept thinking, "Man, a mash tun with a false bottom would be a great way to do the same thing!"

 

[okiedog]

Good thinkin', JonM. When I start thinking like that, my wife tells me I'm obsessed with brewing.

I am obsessed with brewing.

 

[GrogNerd]

when I'm not brewing I'm thinking about brewing.

or reading about brewing. or posting about brewing. or thinking about reading or posting about brewing, or listening to podcasts or watching videos about brewing

but I am NOT obsessed with brewing

When you now know that water boils at 212F, but could never remember it during high school science classes.

To be fair, we weren't making beer in high school.

Which of course in and of itself is just not fair! Senior year chemistry/biology classes should do brewing!

Funny I was in traffic Friday and sat there watching a cement truck running, thinking what way to dough in

 

[unionrdr]

Yeah,things that make ya go hmmmm?! Or when a thread comes up on ancient ales,& you can actually discuss it...

My high school advanced chemistry class actually did distill alcohol. But then, a LOT of our experiments would give the average school board nervous fits -- and this was in the late '90's. (iodine 'bombs', playing with thermite, determining the ideal mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gas for the most powerful explosion....) My chemistry teacher ROCKED.

Yeah, Mr. White, science!

when you are standing in front of some scrap metal and you are thinking of a way to use it to improve your burners efficitncy

Then you go home and the idea works

 

[okiedog]

When you keep walking around your back yard, trying to determine the best place to build a brew house, even though you don't have the money or materials to build one.

.....when you look at the line of water bottles at the office and think " I wish those were all full fermenters in my basement".

 

[finsfan]

Probably been mentioned before, but when you buy more and nicer beers for trades then you do for yourself

It's hard for me to believe that, that's only 85 gallons!

But when you think of it as, a "tad shy of 2.5 barrels", then it sounds about right.
