You know you're a home brewer when?

When your wife gives up and let's you have an entire shelf in the fridge
When your wife steps up and buys you a beer fridge!

when you spend every free second you have at "work" looking at homebrew forums :fro:
When you contact your city's water treatment plant laboratory to inquire about concentrations of a variety of ions in the city's water supply.
You know your city's water treatment plant laboratory supervisor is equally as large of a home brewer when his reply includes, "I can tell you from personal experience that the City's water is fairly optimal for the majority of common beers"

An Ode to Beer
But did he give you the report?
You know you live in a home brew city when your city's water report looks like this. Notice it even includes average ground water temps for chilling.
when you replace the f-bomb with flocc on a more than regular basis at work.
You're in a craft brew shop listening to the sales person tell you about beer and just knodding your head and smiling thinking... I'm well aware of that, and that... oh yes... and that. Only to finally get a word in to let them know that you're a home brewer. At which point, the instruction completely stops and you're left wondering why they won't offer any more information. It was really good information... very helpful... very informative. I've actually stopped letting them know that I'm a home brewer actually. There are so many beers and so many styles that I still haven't tried. I really would like to get the info from them.
For me the first was having dreams after a brew day where I'd dream having forgetton stuff. Like I'd be dreaming and say, "Oh no... I forgot to clean my mash tun and brew kettle.". Or, "Oh no, did I pitch the yeast? I forgot to pitch the yeast!!!!!" lol. I don't have those dreams anymore of course. So now it's pretty much actively looking at the weather report daily to see if the weather will allow me to brew as planned on my weekends/days off. I can only boil outdoors, for several reasons, but mash indoors. So if the weather report says rain or high winds my day is ruined. I often even check 2-3 different weather report websites. So sad lmao.

Been there, done that.
Spoiler alert: It's a great way to discover your new boss is also a homebrewer.
Surprised you didn't say "when you take 3 Chubs at the same time".
Great video.

When you go to the Doctor and have the same reaction to liver damage as you would the common cold.... Sorry... I am Irish..... I will go out with a beer in my hand, the taste of hops on my tongue and a smile on my face!
I'm guilty of not taking an FG every now and then. Particularly on repeat batches. 3-4 weeks primary and keg it. I suppose kegging has made it more feasible to do so as I highly doubt I could package anything so early on that I create a keg bomb. Bottle bombs are scary.

When you try to use beer styles as way to describe someone

When you're telling your grandmother how to clean a pot.

When your wife periodically asks you to clean her ceramic coffee mug (because a 24-hour soak in PBW will clean just about anything).
When you're going away to a cottage with your friends for the weekend, and you're embarrassed to be bringing 2 growlers of a local microbrewer's craft beer (along with 4 bombers of homebrew), because you know people will be expecting you to ONLY be bringing homebrew. And your wife talked you out of bringing your own crystal tulip beer glass, because you just know the cottage will only have plain old drinking glasses.

When your wife tells you: "My family will expect you to bring at least a case of homebrew to Thanksgiving dinner." And they aren't even all beer drinkers. And they are not getting a whole case. Maybe a 12 pack.
Sounds like my family. I included some of my Jalapeno wheat at easter as kind of a joke... Never expecting that one to be a huge hit with the family. The whole 4 pack I brought was completely drank (and I know they drank it cause they were talking to me the whole time they were drinking it)
When you're a middle-aged home brewer on here, & you can find an off-color joke in just about anything!...
