You know you're a home brewer when?

[dkwolf]

you know you're a homebrewer when:

you paint a room in your house? you get a new piece of furniture?

I couldn't make the connection either.

Don't forget the cat pissing on the Christmas tree.....

Don't forget the cat pissing on the Christmas tree.....

I was trying to, so, thanks

I don't have a cat, so I'll never have one piss on my Christmas tree, which, I guess means I don't know I'm a homebrewer

I filled, sanded, primer sealed & just got done top coat painting 2/3's of the brewery/man cave. Got wait a bit for the paint to dry, then assemble my new wrap-around the corner desk. Gonna have a crap ton of boxed bottles goin' in the garage till I find a good way to save the labels. Then put the room back together. Still have the inside wall section to fill/sand, etc yet. Some other warm day. Darn cats liked climbing the tree, batting the thin glass ornaments, then finally whizzed on what was left. Had to replace the tree, ornaments, etc, besides paint & supplies I didn't have already. So being the brewery/man cave, it had everything to do with it. In the physical sense. I got the monitor on the bottling table in the center of the room, the keyboard & mouse on my wicker magazine table. Can't wait for the paint to dry...

Its Uniondr... What do you expect... He's like the rest of us with ADHD, somehow, somewhere, theres a logical connection...

 

[unionrdr]

In point of fact, I think you're right. A couple of my sons have it, & they get it from my side. It's starting to make sense nowadays, after some due consideration. As some of my older work buddies used to say of me, " the wheels are always turning". Spinning a bit fast sometimes, however. What you read are the results. Yet another series of unfortunate events in this case...again. At least the paint's dry, desk is up. Be able to get the Mumme' going in a couple weeks. Takes a while to get all the dried plants, spices, herbs, etc together with grains for that gruit...

When you no longer care which craft brewery was bought by what global brewery entity or what the price or selection of craft beers at the grocery store is or what changes with beer distribution means because ... YOU BREW YOUR OWN BEER AND YOU LIKE IT!

 

[poptarts]

Seriously I buy beer only a few times a year outside of grabbing one with a meal when I go out to eat.

 

[TurnipGreen]

You hide Christmas gifts in your brewing equipment because you know your fiancee won't look in there.

Ha! I did that same thing!

 

[JonM]

That's a great idea!

 

[unionrdr]

And it seems to be working great so far! She knows that's my domain, & doesn't mess with the fermenter stand/storage unit unless directed to by me.

 

[GHBWNY]

...when every present under the tree for you looks like it's in the shape of some kind of brewing equipment.

 

[BrewerBrad82]

When you inexplicably dream about the origin of Wyeast 3787, even though you have not recently used it in a batch.

Hope sure springs eternal at Christmas time, doesn't it? :rockin: When you finally get to the end of all the painting, assembling & rearranging of the man cave/brewery in time for Christmas. SWMBO likes the idea so far. Now if they'd just learn that dad's parts of the house are not a dumping ground!... dad's restaurant massacre, with full orchestration...

 

[TexasDroughtBrewery]

Ha! I did that same thing!

Your signature just had me rolling on the floor laughing.

When you're annoyed to find that you had MORE hops and grains than you thought you did as that gets in the way of the clean out the leftovers amber ale you had planned.

Lol clean out IPA?

Well just dumped in all the extra victory malt and cascade hops that appeared from somewhere and cut back on the summit and crystal malt a bit. Should be fine. Has just a bit of roast barley so is the right color anyway and victory malt is good stuff.

Am paranoid about keeping open bags of hops around.

You should get a food saver and vacuum those hops!

 

[Terek]

you shovel the 6 inches of fresh snow so you can get out to the brew room and check the starter for tom. brew day...... At 4:30 in the morning .......

I should. Just so many things I`d like to get and annoying to get them in Korea. The heating stick I need to supplement my crappy stove comes first.

Mason jars and a freezer work well for me.

IMO, you arent doing homebrewing right if excessive grains and hops arent a good thing

 

[brewcat]

You periodically take pictures of your pipeline/inside of beer fridge.

When you start having "beer reduction" parties for the sole purpose of burning through your inventory so you can brew more!

Snow? What's that....It's been freakishly Charlotte-like in Pittsburgh this year!

Try moving from Woming to Texas...

 

[fatherdan]

I started brewing 8 weeks ago. I have 65 gallons brewed so far and just tapped my first 2 kegs.

It was liquid gold if I must say. I actually enjoy double 10_ gallons days..,

I once made a kitchen sink IPA. Cleaned everything out.
