You Know You're A Dedicated Homebrewer When...

[stux]

Ironically, I saw this yesterday afternoon as I was driving to Craftbrewer to pick up my ingedients to make an IPA.

"It's a sign!", I thought, "I'm on a mission from God!"

It's currently mashing...spooky.



...responding to your own post feels weird.

I saw one the other night, think it was "IPA 068". My thoughts were "6.8%... sounds about right"

Your 11yo daughter and 9yo son want to take a sip of your beer at dinner to see who can guess correctly what style of beer it is.
And they both argue over who will be 'filling' and who will be 'assisting' on bottling day.

.... you start planning what type of beer might best be enjoyed 6 months from now...

..LOL..I cop it from SWMBO..."Your obsessed with beer, If only you cared about me as much as you care about beer......"

Yes dear...

They are all sisters!!!!!! Same here.

....when your $40,000 boat becomes a holding vessel for tallies and empty kegs.

.....when your fishing tackle room in the shed is renamed "the brewroom" and $700 rods are displaced from their home to make room for 1 more fermentation fridge.

.......when you decide another freezer is needed to house hops.

.........when you go to the bar and it takes 5 minutes to decide which one of the 6 kegs you should start on.

...........when the Mrs actually understands.

:chug: :kooi:

Your garden is "mulched" entirely with grain.

Your washing machine runs a full cycle just for a single hop bag.

You crack the shits when you go to a free-piss function and it's Corona.

You have a near mental breakdown when you find out your missus used your brew spoon to stir spaghetti.

You nearly lose your dog to the RSPCA after the yelling you gave her from farting near the fermenter just when you were about to seal it up.

You agree to attend a research marketing meeting for the $70 just so you can get more brewing stuff

...when SWMBO starts explaining the origins of IPA to her workmates due to the amount of subliminal learning she receives from your constant beer-ramblings.

I took SWMBO to Absolute Homebrew a while ago, she had the shits and got huffy.
Up until she saw the AirStill stuff and proceeded to write a Christmas wishdemand-list.

[Ducatiboy stu]
