SMSH 60 minute IPA. Foolproof.

When the mrs stops complaining about you looking for good beer when you're on holidays and actually starts planning your trips around good bars/breweries/homebrew shops...

When you read a list like this to SWMBO and she 'gets it'.

Ha! Yeah, the other day I was talking with my wife and mentioned boil hops vs whirlpool and she said I should add more whirlpool for aroma. I hadn't mentioned aroma. She drinks solely sweet Riesling.

So when does one stop being a noob and become part of the furniture?

1. X years as a brewer?
2. X amount of batches of beer?
3. X amount of time you have been a member of this forum?

Pick your number and your reason as to your choice.

Part of the furniture?
Answer: 3.

but as for being a noob I think is another question.
No matter how much I could possible brew I would still think of myself as a learner.
$0.02

28. X When it becomes "piss a pint time" one pint, one piss; one pint, one piss ...........

 

[Judanero]

When you find yourself crossing the lines you always said were too far:

"Learning about water chemistry is taking it a bit too serious, I'll never do that"
"Different glasses for different beer? I'll never be that ******"
"Who needs more than three fermenting fridges, that's just excessive"
"I don't need stainless"
"I'd know when someone isn't actually THAT interested in brewing, and would stop the conversation at a respectable point"

 

[Stouter]

When Tidal Pete bloody well says so.
I think I've got a few years to go.......
