you find yourself looking out the window wishing you could catch a whiff of a BK getting a big hop addition and giving it a good stir.
 
When you get your new 20g kettle setup and wonder how many #s of hops you could add and still net 10g into kegs.(one way to clear space in the freezer)
 
When you leave the LHBS, which has a small micro next door and...upwind you recognize the sound and downwind you recognize the smell.

(They were making a small batch outside on the patio.).
 
...you got a sweet tooth but there's no candy in the entire house so you end up eating carbonation drops straight from the bag :D

My son and nephew would always ask for the carb drops as they helped on brew day. They were insistent little rascals!
 
I don't have quite the "hop problem" that you guys do! However, I will say that it doesn't get any easier as the kids get older and have more and more activities!

3 words for you: Early. Morning. Brewing. I've often got flame to strike water at 05:00 in order to squeeze in a brew day...

3:30 AM for me last time. Had the yeast pitched by the time the kids woke up.
 
When it's not strange to have 3 fridge's in your garage.

(Beer fridge, kegerator, and ferm chamber)

When you try to figure out where to stay that has the best access to local breweries when you travel. Then you also drive an insane distance to hit some places that you may not be near again... I might have done this. ;)
LOL! 12/24 - 12/31: Russian River, Moylans, North Coast, Mendocino, 21st Amendment, The Hop Grenade, Woodfour, Crooked Goat, Hopmonk, Petaluma Hills. I have an amazing wife.
 
When you've been home brewing for 17 years and started out with all grain and your buddy who got a Mr. Beer kit for Christmas calls and ask if you can help him brew a beer and you have to read the instructions, twice!
