You know you're a home brewer when?

[chisena]

When you have grand delusions that you could open your own brewery.

I think anyone could open a brewery using only recipes found here - and be successful!

You should do that.

 

[gometz]

Eh, you need a lot more than good recipes to be successful. You need a solid business plan. Hell, even with a solid business plan and not great recipes you can be successful (look at No Label in Katy, TX, their beer really isn't that good but they seem to be doing well).

 

[JunkCatsOnThePorch]

Friends or family come to stay and ask if you have sugar for their coffee and you give them dextrose.

 

[slym2none]

You should do that.

No, you should do it.

I didn't say... meh, nevermind.

I bet DME may add a little extra something if you put it in your coffee. If I added sugar to my coffee I would try it.

Sorry, I was being too literal.

Speaking of which, here's a lol from the drive-through...

 

[TAK]

When you go to the grocery store and buy a $20 bottle of beer and a $9 bottle of vodka.

Why does someone buy these two things? Because good beer is important, and airlocks are getting dry.

You forgot the oxi clean free, regular non scrubbing sponges and lint free towels. Gal though I was house cleaning and the vodka was to make it more enjoyable.

replacing regular sugar with DME in any baking recipe sounds pretty tasty

probably not a 1:1 substitution

Well now I'm just waiting for the inevitable "HELP! Same weird taste in all my baked goods!? Possible EXTRACT TWANG!!!??" thread to pop up.

Or "Is my food infected?" threads.

When everytime you go to specific...um...bargain hunters grocery store in a less than upscale neighborhood, you grab a bulk 10 # sack of quick oats even though you don't eat oatmeal.

Or just say "body" without consequences and be done with it.

Did I mention I drive a $1000 beater and do not lock doors because I leave nothing of value in it...except there. They sell also sell cocks, defeathered on order with a propane torch while you wait.

Will they deflower on order as well?

This one time, at band camp, I got my cock defeathered with a torch.. Never again!

You have 20# of hops in the freezer and convince yourself you need 10 more pounds.

When you're still finding tiny shards of glass in your storage area from a bottle bomb you had 4 years ago.

 

[BrerRabbitBrew]

When you run straight through the screen door to avoid a boil over.
