You know you're a home brewer when?

[Renegades_Brew]

When SWMBO decides that "brewing" gets it's own category in the finance tracking software

Mine did this. However she takes part in all processes of the brewing process too. And it was because of her that i now have 5 more items on my list of "Upcoming Brews" She bought the kits.

When you refer to dish soap foaming up in the sink as krausen.

When you have all the bottles you need, but just can't bring yourself to toss out a newly emptied batch of craft bottles. Das ist mein kampf....

The pic looks like the crime scene at Dr Sam's house over in bay village they knocked down.

Seriously? I get 2lbs of oatmeal at the grocery store for about $ 1.50. You're looking at the wrong brand or wrong packaging, friend. If only my local Aldi sold malted barley. ..

Maybe I need to make him stop brewing or stop sharing with her!

Look for a French Press at yard sales and second hand stores. The paper coffee filter absorbs some of the hop oils, while a French Press uses a stainless steel plate to filter.

 

[Teromous]

Your farts smell like hops. You know it's true. Don't deny this...

 

[unionrdr]

HA! More like rotten pumpkins stuffed with dead carp & laced with hops...

You sound like my wife.

 

[BreezyBrew]

Haha dead carp... awesome.

 

[rockbasementbeer]

When you ask people to guess what you've been drinking based on your farts..."yup, thats a RIS right there. You can smell the roasted barley right after the rotten egg hits you!" That may go into Messing with SWMBO if i can pull it off later.

 

[unionrdr]

In that case, read my post in that thread. It's old, but a good one! ...when you get up in the morning & find empty bottles & stuff to clean after bottling or brew day.

 

[joey0214]

When you try a new beer and all you can think is, I can clone this

 

[unionrdr]

Or, conversely, when you brew a good batch & it reminds you of a craft beer you've had...

 

[BreezyBrew]

Or when you think to yourself, I can brew a beer better than this!

 

[dobes]

When I tell my wife I'm going to the beer store and she says "I thought you just picked up yeast yesterday?"
I reply "I meant I was going to go pick up a case or two."
She replies, "Why don't you just brew a batch, yours are so much better?!!"

Well dam I didn't even think about using our French press lol next time will be with that and I might add some hops to the grounds as well before brewing to see what comes of it lol 12cups of hoppy coffee yum
