You know you're a hophead when...

[mcbaumannerb]

while waiting to add it to the boil kettle, you stick your whole face in the hop bag and inhale as long and deeply as possible! :rockin:
(True story from last night with my UK Kent)

 

[Billy-Klubb]

when you add Citra whole hops to your Mt. Dew because you got a jones.

 

[BrokenArmBrewing]

[Zamial]

you grow your own.

 

[BrokenArmBrewing]

Or you realize that bud light forgot to add that last ingredient

 

[nukebrewer]

When you stop caring about much hop character there is and care more about the infinite variety of intense hop characters that can exist. It's the natural evolution of the hop head.

 

[45_70sharps]

When every commercial beer you drink leaves you thinking about popping the top and dry hopping a few bottles then re caping to see if you can improve it.

 

[bscott1011]

You have seriously considered using the coffee pot and a couple ounces of hops to make "tea" during brew day

 

[Billy-Klubb]

[jperry]

When you only make small batches, but you buy your hops in bulk... and when your second batch, is a double dry hopped ipa 90+ibus.

Sucking on the hop sack after the boil or draining it into a pitcher of lemonade or iced tea to drink after your 6 hour brewday.

I heard this is how Budweiser "hand-picks" there hops.

Gee Golly!

 

[BBL_Brewer]

When brewday yields more weight in wet hops than it does wort.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

even after showering, you have the distinct smell of Nugget on you after a brew day.

 

[turvis]

You buy hop soap to have said smell on you every day.

 

[45_70sharps]

even after showering, you have the distinct smell of Nugget on you after a brew day.

That's called Cologne. Any women not attracted to that smell isn't the right woman anyway.

 

[shelly_belly]

When you have a "pinch" between your cheek and gum.

 

[nukebrewer]

Done that before. Mostly just to get an idea of the flavor a hop will contribute, but I tend to leave it in a little too long.

When you think Pliny is just "kinda hoppy".

 

[Billy-Klubb]

I'll hold onto them for you and you can come get them if you really want them.

I'll tell my boss I'm gonna be late for work by a few days.

 

[DrunkleJon]

...when you carry a baggie of leftover 'mystery' hop pellets with you to the bar to drop in the fizzy yellow beers that are bought for you.
