You stop at a local and try the ESB and think, “man, I can’t wait until mine is ready to drink!”
You know you're a home brewer when?

You get a yeast infection.... and think about making a starter.
When you pull 5 month old yeast slurry out of the fridge on brew day, notice blackish crud under the mason jar lid, but pitch it anyway. Without a starter.
In my defense, I intended to pick up a new pack that day, but the LHBS was closed. The crud was due to O2 exposure above the beer line and (likely) never came in contact. Good news is it kicked off in 24 hours and continued with healthy fermentation.

You, sir, are in luck. It's posted in the recipe database under the less conspicuous name "Chinooklehead Porter".

While waiting for mash to finish and you are planning the recipe of your next brew

British - apparently some US company stole my name
You're watching a serious news item about the breakdown of global free trade and the possible resolution of the world's longest-running war, and yet all you can think of when you see the car picking up the US President from his hotel in Quebec is :
"Hmmm - Urquell and Fuller's, that could work as a blend."

This happened in a nearby country and I can't help but think, gosh I could use some of those empty crates...
I wonder how many bottles survived...
Oh man as soon as the sun went down I'd be rummaging through that mess for crates and a couple of unbroken bottles.

you know how to enjoy a Breakfast Stout....with your pancakes
In haiku form:
You borrow from your 401K to build a keezer.
Now I'm paying myself back, with 3% interest.
Still not proud, but I gotta have them Perlicks.

Someone forgot the 5-7-5 rule...
When you soak a stinky (but new-ish) sponge in leftover PBW then StarSan and it totally works!

This is a great tip! Im always looking for a use for the 3qt or so of starsan left over after bottling. Up until now I've been using it to shine up my mauviel copper cookware. Sponge indoctrination is a great idea!

When non-homebrewing bosses believe you are an alcoholic because you post pics of your brew and bottling days on social media and brings it up in a department meeting. So, I deleted FB and Instagram accounts and now I refuse to talk about homebrewing at work. Bunch of candy asses...
Unless you miss a lot of time, which would give them that idea - educate them. My bosses think it is neat that I brew my own beer.

F$!# those guys...
That's what lists are for on FB at least, if co-workers are aquantinces, then you post those pics to friends or family the judgemental ones won't even see them (I think for now). Post something nice and fluffy publicly now and then, and the boss will think you are just a nice guy. Because you are a nice guy, I'm sure, you have the patience to brew beer!
Haha classic. I'm always posting beer porn which most facebook friends don't understand and probably just assume is alcoholism.
But I found once you win a couple of awards the tone changes and everyone is more supportive of it as a legitimate hobby. As opposed to a way to get drunk cheaply on cidery strong nastiness which is the default perception of homebrew.
When you impulsively shout a string of expletives through the windshield at a passing inbev truck just a split second before remembering that it's Sunday morning and you're driving a bus full of bible school students to church.

is there such a thing as a beer calendar? If no, can we make it so?
Amen, brother. Jesus is the reason for the saison.

As a seasonal brewer, I watch the calendar.
For the past two years, my brewing season usually started after we got out first frost on the East Coast. Now that the Nord yeast strains have hit the markets and a fridge got purchased, those dry summer wheats made with kveik and real lagering opportunities should change the schedule a bit.
