When you teach your children to crawl by enticing them across the room with a pint of ale (Just taught my second child this week, a pint of ale was the enticement she needed).

I taught my eldest to put caps on bottles when she was quite young.

When you have pics of your home brew equipment hanging on your wall and on your computer desktop

... when you find yourself looking at the missus's tupperwear and planning which you'll snaffle for hops and which you'll snaffle for crystal.

When you look at anything in Bunnings and think if you can use that on brewday.

When anything starts looking useful for brewing...

That happened at work the other day- there were some shelves in the store room, and I was wondering aloud whether they could go towrds making a brewstand... then my supervisor told me to stop coming up with ways of using everything to brew with!

This quote came up when I was recipe-ing (is that even a verb) on Tasty Brew tonight.

You know you are a homebrewer when: you spend more time thinking about beer than drinking beer.</I>

I thought that was pretty spot on.
(The link is to their set of you know etc quotes, it came up when I pasted the quote...)

You know you are a brewer when...

You are cooking porridge for breakfast for the family and you give it a protein rest and a decoction!

[petesbrew]

When your only souveneers from a Euro holiday are various beer t-shirts, 150 beer coasters (which you lovingly laminate to preserve them for re-use) and a stolen "Slug Jug" from the Slug & Lettuce pub in London.

When you cannot decide if you are lagering or cold conditioning your soup.

When you consider starting a poll, "Do you lick your refractometer?"
