PBW is great for cleaning canning jars people sell on garage sales or give you!

When you find that Starsan is great for cleaning a glass desk. And PBW for cleaning sudden stains in the carpet. PBW solution can work better than carpet cleaner...

PBW is great for cleaning just about anything. Including the plastic internal vacuum cleaner parts!

They know your wife at the Homebrew store because it's so close to her office that she always gets the distinguished task of picking up orders. Today mama rolled in there, baby in tow, to pick up a pound of Citra. You know, she parties.

Your fingers look like you were eating cheetos because you were out harvesting your hops.

When you're soaking a fermenter, cleaning bottles & finishing a gunstock all at the same time while still feeling the effects of the beer & tequila the other night...
