You know you're a dedicated homebrewer when...


1. ...the first thing you do in the morning is "double drop" the 1968 ESB you put down yesterday arvo - even before getting dressed properly and/or doing your early morning dump.

2. ...the first drink you have (after a quick sip of water to cleanse the palate) is the case swap beer you have lagering in the fridge to convince yourself there are no funny flavours (there aren't).

3. ...there are dishes from two nights ago in the lounge room next to the PC but the mash tun, kettle etc that was used yesterday are now spotless.

4.

5. ...

etc

6. Your 5 and 3 1/2 year olds get a 20 metre headstart on you, and you still beat them to the door to see what "beery stuff" the postie has brought you this time...
