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

[Truman42]

When any suggested holiday destination is followed by searching out all brewerys within striking distance of said destination, and making sure you can visit them all before you agree to go there.

Yes but most importantly making sure you dont let the missus know about it before hand..My missus will crack it if I base a weekend away on a brewery visit. But if we just happen to see one shes all for going in and trying their beers.

"Oh look honey they have a brewery here apparently that does a nice lunch. I didnt know that."

When you put off having your first kid because you don't want to give up your brewery room. :kooi:

When you duck home from the hospital shortly after your first born pops out so that you can keg your first keg of beer.

...

I got into kegging and built my first kegerator in the late stages of SWMBOs pregnancy . The beer was ready as the bub was ready! Which happened to be NYE
