You remember why you rarely have guest. As soon as I opened the fridge, seeing what food I have buying most things fresh and keeping little around, the first freaking thing I tend to hear is "And it´s mostly alcohol". No. No, it´s not even half. Yes I do store some beer in the fridge, but most of what you see are yeast cultures, thank you very much. I could make bread out of those too!


Plus you think this is a lot? One of those jars is around 40 times its volume in actual beer!!!
Then again I never raise that point for some reason.

Somebody visits your apartment. Has a look in the fridge asking what you have for food and then they say "it´s mostly alcohol". No, half of that is yeast cultures. And yes, I don´t like to store, and thus usually waste, a lot of food and therefore only buy what I need at the time, save for staples like rice which don´t go bad.

Still, that look it got...

Well, then I made creamy scrambled eggs with tomato, red onion, fresh chives, tellicherry pepper, and pink Himalayan salt on homemade sesame buns within 10min and that person shut up. xD

Did you have a few before the second iteration of the same post? ;)
 
I get the same reactions. Some people think my fridge is glorious. Others think there is something very wrong with me. I just need another fridge to hide my obsession
 
...when you actually begin to hope your hydrometer breaks so you can go to the LHBS. And buy a new one. And probably a bunch of other stuff.


SWMBOs can't go to Target and get just one thing, we can't go to the LHBS and get just one thing.
 
The awkward fridge visitor moments can be alleviated by keeping one of these in the garage:

when you realize you just learned something new with a foopah with the latest batch. Just when you think you got it figured out, the beer Gods decide it's time to humble you again...
 
Foopah?

Faux pas?

Fupa?

I think you meant fupa..


The urban dictionary defines foopah as.
The really discusting stomach-type thing you see fat people have that cover's they're whole entire groin area. Often referred to as front butt or front vagina. May also be referred to as Foop.

I think our self proclaimed author of brewing books meant Faux pas. But then again we never know what goes on in his mind. Maybe it was fupa...
 
That is awesome... Mine was at my Mormon parents property...

And you parents have not disowned you for home brewing?

I had 2 Mormon missionaries stop by mid brew once. The guy born and raised wanted to leave like I was the plague, the other guy wanted to stay and learn. I am probably a jerk but it was the most interesting 30min I had in a very long time.
 
When you see chest-freezers/refrigerators for sale in Lowes/Home Depot and your first thought is "I wonder how many kegs I can fit in this"

most-likely already mentioned but I'm not doing to scroll through 568 pages to check :)

There's a chart somewhere on HBT that maps out how many kegs or carboys fit into various freezer models.

Yeah, I meant faux pas. Forgot how to spell it atm. A small slip up where I should known better sooner. I had my mind on trying to remember the sections of a couple books that disappeared & wasn't focusing on the IIPA so much. I just write about my experiences, both good, bad & indifferent along with history & such for the masses to enjoy. I know I'm not a self-proclaimed expert or anything. But I do have my moments...also good & bad. It seems Father Time will not be denied?

My parents told me this: "We may not always agree with what you do, but we will always support you"

Needless to say they have put up with a lot of crap from me in the 14 years I stopped practicing the religion.
