You know you're a home brewer when?

[divrguy]

When your pregnant wife tells you she can't wait until I can serve her a true sampler on the paddle of all the beers I've been making while shes been unable to drink. Turns out I will have six samplers to give her so it will be the paddle +2![/Lol

Wow.... That's quite the sampler!


Cheers!

When you come home to this and you're not worried. Because it's positive pressure....

 

[BadDeacon]

Btw, that is as blow off that brew off.

I think you need a wider diameter tube, or a bigger vessel.

Now I see why it's called a widow maker black ale... Your wife is going to murder you if that got on her carpets.

Had to cut the tip off the bottom of the 3 piece airlock. Fermenter is in the garage. So the wifey is ok.

Haven't read the previous 387 pages, but... "when you read and post on Homebrewtalk.com"

When your favorite author writes, "It would be like putting a cork on a bottle of wine that was still fermenting." and you have no need to read the explanation of the metaphor.

How'd that banana wine turn out, BTW?

When your room smells like hops from a vigorous blowoff on primary of ipa. (Happening as I type this, waiting for the cyser to kick up so I can have cinnamon apple+hops smell. Haha)

When you insulate, dry wall, paint and decorate your entire garden shed to turn it into a brew house and all your yard tools, mower, snow blower, power washer, weed wackier etc have to go in your garage and your autos have to be parked in the driveway and ... This springs project is to paver the path to the brew house. We are so sick.

This is taking place at my house to my "brewery" lol. I even have my SWMBO calling it the "Brewery" when she says "Take this beer stuff off the counter and out to the Brewery!"

I turned my kids nursery into a pirate room. I didn't do a wine barrel crib, but I converted a wine barrel into his aquarium stand. Does that count?

Link to more pix while I was building it

 

[sammy33]

insanim8er - Awesome! Captains quarters.

 

[ChugachBrewing]

Very cool! Mine is in the works. Currently all the staves are in clamps to straighten, so will be a couple months before they go through the planer. Sorry, the only photo I have is of them in the clamps... not too exciting.

When you decide to use your sons nebulizer machine for his asthma to aerate my wort, did it this morning with sanitized line worked pretty good gave it 10 secs of air guess we will see if it was a success or failure

 

[1fast636]

Here is a pic of the nebulizer I used it has a hepa filter inside of it so figured it would be good lol

 

[insanim8er]

I hope your kid didn't need it while you were using it... That would make you more than a home brewer

 

[1fast636]

Nope he gets it at night now and only when he needs it, winter months are a bitch with him being sick with day care and getting upper respiratory problems so they got him on so asthma meds and this thing that might just come in handy for me lol so at least this bill can be counted for brewing and not just medical charge lol

 

[DrunkleJon]

Dont let your insurance know. They might decide that if it is partially for recreational rather than medical use that they will not cover all of it.
So, what are you calling this brew? Asthmatic Ale? Nebu-cyser?

10 seconds is what you do when you have pure O2 and a stone. In the future, I would go 5 minutes or until it is threatening to froth over the top of your vessel.

You go to a fast food restaurant and when they advertise "we're brewing all day" the first thing you think of is beer, not coffee.
