you know you're a homebrewer when...

[BierMuncher]

When you get an invitation to a party 3 months in advance so you have time to brew the beers and you damn well better not forget to bring this.

 

[dataz722]

When the local party store calls and asks where you've been...

Maybe its just different here but what does a party store have to do with anything.

 

[TexLaw]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

You know you're a homebrewer when you can tell what hops are in a fart.

[BrewBrain]

You can suck a turkey baster like nobody's business.

 

[JoeMama]

Christ, you know that you are a homebrewer when you have to go home from work sick, but still contemplate brewing. (Between trips to the bathroom)
-Me

 

[FxdGrMind]

You know you are a homebrewer when...

You contemplate taking a sick day to visit the LHBS or a new one further away.

You Take a Sick Leave day... just to brew that new recipe.

You make excuses to leave work early so you can get home sooner so that you can take your recordings and look at your beer bubbling.

You make excuses to have just one more beer from your HB tap.

You no longer worry if they will like your beer... but worry if they will leave you any remaining when they leave....

 

[InfernoBrews]

You Have a Buddie over to brew a Batch and end up having to drive him home cause he was hammered from drinkin your Hombrew!

( This Happened last night) He didnt think i would post it!

 

[Hikeon3]

When you're more afraid of a yeast infection than your wife is...

 

[Fat Guy Brewing]

When you tell SWMBO you are stopping at the beer store and she asks 'yours or mine'.

 

[mattmcl]

When you're more afraid of a yeast infection than your wife is...

Brilliant. LMAO.

 

[hammer1]

adjust your work schedule around brewing .

 

[Jim Karr]

When every screen name you use has "homebrew" or "beer" in it.........

 

[tony4444]

When the term "good head" has nothing to do with sex....

 

[hopsoda]

When you dream about Beer and wake up in the middle of the night thinking about a beer recipe.

( I think I need a break)

 

[chefmike]

You have used most of the items in the house in your brew process at one time or another subsituting for that piece of equipment that you will buy NEXT time you go to the LHBS, but then you buy ingredients instead, because really that system with the hairdryer, the pasta strainer and the coffee maker worked fine....

 

[enderwig]

When you go to a restaurant, they have BMC and maybe a Sam selection, and you say, "no thanks, I'll take a coke."

 

[chefmike]

you think about what coke would taste like if fermented....

and Mountain Dew.

And try to design a beer like Dr. Pepper.

 

[llazy_llama]

When you've got 20 gallons in various stages of fermentation in your living room, and you've never tasted any HB that didn't come from a wine thief.

When you've always wanted to try mead, but instead of just buying some, you brew it yourself.

 

[Long-Haired_Brewer]

When "sampling" store bought ales with friend and the label at the back has the type of malt etc. your friends ask you what it means.

 

[5gBrewer]

When you brew beer... at home

 

[Stef1966]

When you're doing the groceries and you pass in front of rice, Honey, Corn sugar, coriander, fruits... you don't think of these items as common food, but more like adjuncts to try on your next batch.

 

[CheerfulHeart]

my husband offered to remodel his workshop so I could move my brewing equipment out of the kitchen He is even going to insulate the ceiling and install a small air conditioner so the temperature will be more constant in Summer. (For the record, I am a female ).

Happy Brewing to all!

 

[Noxiousbrews]

When Chuck Norris doesn't even scare you..

 

[unionrdr]

When the damp cold ruins what's left of your joints, but you brew on anyway. Then make brunch for 3 the next morning while cleaning up from brew day.

 

[flynavy03]

When you need a blowoff tube . . . for your starter! It's on its second stepup for an IPA, and I think it wants to eat the kitchen.

 

[unionrdr]

The starter that wouldn't die! Spawning the blob!

 

[treacheroustexan]

When you work in blow molding, and you see the preforms of bottles and imagine using them as vials for your yeast.

 

[phug]

When you wake up from a bad dream in which all your entries to the local competition were lost or presented to the judges as the wrong category or you get a scoresheet back that was for someone else's entry. In my dream I got a scoresheet back for my common cider saying "why did you submit a Labbatt Blue as your entry?"

Judging is tomorrow night, let's hope I don't get too many more of these.

 

[str1p3s]

When you have a dream that the keg setup you are using has a hand pump to pressurize the keg.

 

[Redtab78]

your wife yells from the other room "what are you creating now???"
