You're Not A Real Homebrewer

[Kleiny]

when you can't walk past almost any shop to see if anything they sell might be handy in some way for your brewery.

Like a irrigation store with a special on filters

drink an infected brew........ :beerbang:

Or tip a 19l keg of infected brew and shed a tear

Maybe its when you realize that in the shortest time possible you went from telling your friends you where brewing beer from kits to expanding to a full blown all grain setup and then taking their whole weekend to explain why and how. :lol:

When someone yawns while you're talking about beer and you realise that you're actually really ******* boring to most people who drink to get pissed not to chat about cohumulone and its effect on apparent astringency. Geek.

.................Reach over a toppling... and almost full cube of IPA at 11pm after 15 beers to grab the handle and prevent the loss of you hard work to the garage floor. Then, after righting the cube and realising about 2 liters of 95 deg wort just ran over your arm and hand, you run to the laundry to cool your fast blistering hand. You look at your wedding ring and think......mmmmmmm if my hand blisters to hell, they will cut that off, so you try and remove it, peeling a large amout of the skin from your finger in the process.

At this point............ you realise the cube is still filling so you abandon cold water and return to the cube......... chuck a towl on the mess, screw on the lid, grab a bottle of scotch and spend the next 2 hours consuming it while dangling said burnt hand under cold water.

2 am wife returns from work and askes WTF HAPPENED?

I made a killer IPA is the answer!

LOLOLOLOL that's a seriously awesome response. Thanks for the chuckle. An early video of the The Who would be my reply.

You're not a real homebrewer unless you have three fermenters in the bathtub, roughly wiped clean and filled with a heavy dose of napisan. And when the bathroom's been like that for the last 10 days.

I have had a few "DAMN YOU" PM's on that one over the years!

Even got one from a home brew shop owner (cant remember who now) saying he had a laugh at customers asking for Rice Gulls

Been part of or organised a bulk buy.... shame on me.

Why bother putting fermenters in the bathtub when you use the bathtub as the fermenter???? When it has finished fermenting don't waste your time bottling or kegging it just scoop out some with the old jam jar. That how real homebrewers do it.

This bought back memories of when I was a kid in the early 80's the bloke next door to my best mates place used to open ferment his brews in plastic 60lt rubbish bins out in his shed. Got to love those crazy dutch...!!!!
