You know you're a home brewer when?

[fj605]

You know you're a homebrewer when you're looking at buying a house but start eliminating houses because there's no room that can be dedicated to brewing.....

Sadly, I'm still going to be stuck in the garage.... until I build a shed in the backyard! Think my wife will mind?

I sat there in the jury assembly room till near 11AM today, since about 7:50AM. Then the judge, bailiff, & another guy walk in & tell us new evidence came up & they'd be dismissing us to review it a couple days. Another hurry up & wait situation. Not all trials are criminal, exciting, whatever. They can be pretty dull drama-wise. But a necessary part of the system. So it's back to brew related stuff...for now...

I sat on a jury through a wrongful death suit once 20 or 25 years ago; two cops shot an (apparently) mentally unstable immigrant. I think the take home message for me was how unprofessional the attorneys and expert witnesses all came across.

 

[unionrdr]

Oh, man, tell me about it. It's been some 35 years or so since I last served. But the lawyers I've seen have asked what I considered some dumb questions. This one was interesting. All I can say is the company in question did fine by me. And next time I'll park right by the door. didn't drive down the street far enough between the old courthouse in pics of Elyria & the new one on the other side. I hobbled so far, I almost thought I couldn't make it.

When you make a starter and find yourself whistling the intro to Edvard Grieg's "Morning Mood" to your yeast as you place them on the stir plate.

You notice the two 2.5 gal kegs mounted sideways in the plane in Fast & Furious 7. And immediately think, "Da fuq!? Can't dispense beer... Wait those aren't qui... What's... Just WTF!?"

 

[unionrdr]

What were they being used for, I wonder? Haven't seen that one yet...

 

[Psylocide]

What were they being used for, I wonder? Haven't seen that one yet...

For movie props, would be my guess.

 

[unionrdr]

Well, yeah, but I wondered what were they supposed to represent? Some sort of pressurizing system?

 

[WI_Wino]

You guys are giving f&f movies way too much credit. Some dude probably thought "hey these look cool!" And that's the end of it.

 

[unionrdr]

Maybe. But until you read the script or story, you never know for sure what it was intended to represent. Since i started writing books, I can see where that kinda thing happens.

I highly doubt the script said 'pan to Vin D. menacingly doing pull ups next to an advanced pressurizing system. It consists of two pressure vessels that are mounted sideways and are used for injecting nitrous straight into his arm.'

I'm thinking more along the lines of 'car go fast, tough guy is tough, car race, bang girl, another fast car race really fast, splosions. The end.'

 

[unionrdr]

Lol. Likely anyway. Just that being a writer, I know books, stories,etc have more details than a movie portrays. Cool stuff, money, cool cars, wreck cars in big explosive cool guy-type ways, get girl, bang girl, get in trouble again, the end.

Funniest damn thing I've seen all morning.... "sarcasm is just one service I offer"

You forgot to include strategically placed shiny objects that look expensive.

 

[Mrin]

When you buy a bomber at the liquor store - for the bottle.

I thought the girl was the expensive looking object?

 

[DrunkleJon]

I thought the girl was the expensive looking object?

Naw, the shiny is used to distract the girl from the terrible acting, and maybe get her somewhere that you can bang her.

 

[unionrdr]

...while doing crazy driving stunts in an expensive tuner on route to said place...

 

[Onkel_Udo]

I thought the girl was the expensive looking object?

Only from 30'. Up close, a cheap tart in heavy concealer.

 

[MarshmallowBlue]

You name your beer after posts on the forum.

Wasn't the main Government guy a beer advocate?

You know you're a homebrewer when, while playing the annual Autumn game, "How cold can I let it get before I start a fire in the woodstove?", you end up caving in, not because your wife is complaining, but because you're concerned that yeast in the cider fermenting in the corner will stall out from getting to cold.

...when the smell of 10 lbs. of freshly crushed grains is making you salivate in anticipation of brew day tomorrow.

 

[JonM]

You live in Wisconsin and it's October and you type "Green Bay" into the Google search bar and the first autocomplete suggestion is Green Bay Rackers Mash Calculators rather than the Packers.

That means you're doing it right.

Unless Mississippi State is playing.

 

[unionrdr]

I see some Uinta Hop Nosh bottles in there...

 

[twisted-brew]

You know you're a homebrewer when any bit of stainless steel you come across from ice machine scoops to tables can be used somehow within the process...

 

[GHBWNY]

You know you're a homebrewer when... your main coffee table book, "100 Places To See Before You Die", has mysteriously morphed into, "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing".

Or are those Sweetwater IPAs? I already see SW's 420 labels in there...
