You know you're a home brewer when?

[Yeastieboy]

+1 had a couple of days to use up in 2016 and did this. It was cold outside but nice and warm in my garage brewing. Was able to take the little man to daycare and have about 9 hours to my self.

amen.

Wife is talking about buying a good commuter bike.

I said that sounded like a great idea.... all the while I was planning what brew equipment I would get to buy to keep things 'even' in our budget.

Hope she gets a nice one!!

Yeh... until she comes home with 2 matching bikes and then hints that you could use a little exercise. She'll say it's something fun for you two to do together. She'll be so excited, and then you'll have to agree.


See ya later, conical.

Or you could flip it around and see it as she spent twice as much.

 

[soccerdad]

Get her a stationary bike and hook it to your grinder

 

[Bosh]

When you do a great job of cleaning out all the drains because every so often you clog something up with something homebrewing related and don't want SWMBO to know.

 

[DU99]

when mega brewery wants to buy you out

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

When you watch an episode of Moonshiners on Dicovery channel and think to yourself that branch he's using to stir the mash isn't sanitary.

 

[BikerMatt]

when mega brewery wants to buy you out

:rockin: for reals? Man that's something to pursue and then being able to decline!

 

[PADave]

When your stop in a local brew pub for the first time, try their Double IPA, and sit there thinking about how your own IPAs taste better. Then proceed to only have one and head home to drink your own beer.

 

[willy_mugobeer]

When you go on a business trip to Germany, see all the swingtop bottles they sell with no extra premium, and start thinking about how many can fit in your suitcase (and what you'll say to Customs when you get diverted to secondary).

 

[Black Island Brewer]

When you are out for dinner at an upscale place and see Westy 12 on the menu for $75 and think "**** that, I'll make my own!"

 

[Newsman]

Lol!

 

[Incongruent]

When you buy a local beer because it it has a shrink wrap label that's easy to remove so that you can reuse the bottle (with no regard for the taste).

 

[Yeastieboy]

When you know it's only a matter of time before you burn the $hit out of yourself.

 

[Yeastieboy]

When you burn the $hit out of yourself...

 

[GrogNerd]

when homebrewing is the only situation in which you burn the sh!t out of yourself.


when I don't have to guess twice what the first thing that pops into your head is, when you see this

 

[pshankstar]

When you keep staring at your yeast starter on the stir plate because it's hypnotic like a lava lamp.

 

[curtisbrewer]

revelation i had today...

when taking out the brew system is just as rewarding/exciting as being able to put it away clean at the end of the day !!

 

[BikerMatt]

...when you're a 30 year old guy spending sunday noon with the kids... circling local flea markets for a cheap cooking pot (doing it now )

Meh, people are asking near new prices from beat up ancient stuff... thinking bout going eBIAB.

 

[hagar]

Easter is NOT the first thing that jumps into your mind when you see this:

 

[GrogNerd]

That what they mean by triple-hopped?

amazon scratch and dent...another HBT put me onto it. got a giant 20 gallon AL pot with strainer basket and lid for like $48.

 

[labcor]

When I do not drink more commercial beers, and my friends invite me to all their barbecues, just so I bring them beer.

Sure did! Putting mine on its maiden voyage this weekend!

Yep, me too! Also got a warehouse deal kab6 for about $50 😁
Paired with a Wilserbag and I'm good to go!

 

[Mathomson75]

When you have over 200 bottles but don't bottle anymore but are running out of kegs! Oh well time to buy a bottle straw I guess!

 

[BikerMatt]

The dealbreaker for me is ridiculous carriage to Finland... Germany would be somewhat feasible but then again why would I buy a cooking pot if for the same amount of money I could get a Klarstein Beerfest.

 

[catdaddy66]

When your first thought in the am and also when you get home is "don't forget to switch out the ice bottles in the swamp cooler"...
