You know you're a home brewer when?

[TrustyOlJohnson]

Dallas Car Boys..... Not carboys. Hence why on a plate cover. Yeah took me a long minute too

Now I get it!!

... you make sure to re-hydrate during the day so you can drink more beer at night.

The brewery/man cave is the first thing you clean when company's coming.

Grandmas boyfriend asked when my beer goes on sale tonight. He's 95 and I'm the only one in the family that likes him.

Including your Grandma?

When you go to Home Depot for some brewing gear (and you tell the people there you're all set because the employees have no idea what you're asking for) and you figure you should probably pick up one or two things for the house as well...

When you get tired of questions when you're buying stock pots, and you just say "Yeah... they're for soup. A whole lot of soup.."

Lotsa cheese-free beer cheese soup

 

[unionrdr]

Malted barley soup...

 

[Onkel_Udo]

You happen to be near a Binny's (insert whatever store you have that does mix and match) for other reasons and all you can think about is "why just make your own 6-pack...why not make you own case?"

I mean I hate paying IL taxes but I picked us 18, 12oz bottles and cans not available anywhere in IN that I know of...I was afraid to look at the bombers.

When your AC dies in the wee hours of a South Carolina spring morning and your first thought is your beer (no fermentation fridge yet)

Happily everything is past the primary stage

the only time worrying is allowed in homebrewing

but only a little

 

[zippybasher]

... On the radio commercial "Oh, Oh, O'Reilly auto parts"

and all I really hear is " Oh, Oh ,Oh Really? Rhino Farts?

Yeah I know... I'm weird

 

[fuzzy2133]

Whole Foods has a 20% off all beer promotion and you grab $75 woth of expensive beers. And frown on people grabbing stuff that is frequently on sale.

 

[unionrdr]

When both fermenters are full, one close to bottling, you've got plenty of grains left in storage to brew something, but you've got one more complicated old style to brew for a book/article to do first. What to do? What to do? Ain't it fun having these sort of problems?

 

[Baja_Brewer]

When all you can think about is the batch that hadn't started fermenting yet even though you pitched a day and a half ago....

 

[unionrdr]

Been there a year or two ago. Yeast can be stubborn lil critters sometimes. Makes me wonder if they're related to donkey?

 

[wbarber69]

Give her a little shake

 

[unionrdr]

If you shake'r more than twice, you're playing with it. When you see an old poster advertising Savage ale from the saloon Hickok was shot in & decide to try & reproduce it.

When the first thing you install on a new phone and tablet are HBT.
When you make your daughter cry since you installed HBT on the tablet she thinks is hers.

Give her a little shake...no, wait, DON'T do that!

Pissing me off. Pitched the
Oher half the packet (its 3 gallons and low OG so it should have been fine)

Give her a little shake

Did that too... Guess I'll pitch another pack if I don't see anything by bedtime (itll be 50+ hours at that point ) or rack another bath and pitch half that cake.

You have more refrigeration dedicated to beer than food.

Your food fridges have things from 1993 in them but your beer fridges sparkle.

 

[Snowden]

You know you are a homebrewer when you are on a flight and the cloud tops look like a pellicle.

 

[vwmasstransit]

When your watching Alvin and the Chipmunks and you think Dave's refrigerator would make an AWESOME kegorator!!

 

[Kirkwooder]

When the dishwasher gets your glasses plenty clean enough to drink water out of but you need to wash your pint glasses by hand just to be sure they are clean enough for your beer.

 

[Cheesy_Goodness]

When you get pissed at a batch of beer for getting a lower hydrometer reading than expected (meaning I can't bottle and can't brew again until its ready)

...but then immediately forgive the beer after trying the sample because its fvkn delicious

 

[Kharnynb]

You're drinking a perfectly acceptable commercial lager and your first thought is that you can't reuse the bottle because it has a short and thin edge.

 

[GHBWNY]

...your vacation plans revolve around whether or not there is a craft brewery nearby.

 

[unionrdr]

When the airlock has been bottomed out for nearly a week, but the day's FG sample still has funk suspended in it, gravity is already 2 points lower than BS2 estimate, but otherwise looks & tastes ok.
