Things a Homebrewer Thinks

[Hawaiibboy]

Might as well buy everything I could possibly ever want before internet tax kicks in...

Living in Hawaii and fearing this will adversely effect my brewing habits!

 

[BoBoBenton]

Why do some people not like to hear about homebrewing? Am I... Boring?

Oh god yes! My girlfriend threw a party yesterday and I was providing the beer, now every one is more than happy to drink it all but if I want to talk about it, at all, then Im boring and obsessive?
How is that fair?

Suppose that is rant over now.

Had a date the other day and my sister told me explicitly "Do not talk about beer. Whatever you do, do NOT talk about beer! Do you hear me, do not even think about it."

How can I convince my wife I need a 3rd fridge for beer?

 

[sudsstud]

Brewing is like my right brain and left brain having sex!

It's easier to ask forgiveness than get permission.

 

[fuzzy2133]

Where can I stash these empty bottles so my wife does not find them till they are full...

 

[plumber_bob]

How can I convince her to let me move the kegerator beside my chair in the living room?

Make it into a pretty side table.

 

[triskelion]

-In well stocked beer section of supermarket and sees many highly rated beers for the first time "I should buy all of these for research so to help me decide what to brew next"

True story, tried weihenstephan, blue moon, punk ipa and dead pony club for the first time.

 

[DrunkleJon]

Just found myself asking myself out loud when i realized i was out of dish soap. "I wonder if I can use StarSan to clean my (eye)glasses"

 

[unionrdr]

Yeah,it works pretty good for that. I'm wondering if I can reproduce the mistake I made in my light hybrid lager? Turned out prett darn good for an oopsie!

I was thinking last weekend when I was brewing about setting up a cam corder. I figured I could watch later for any mistakes I may be making.

I've been trying to find my old tripod so I can do just that with a PB/PM BIAB for my youtube channel.

 

[drakerebel]

"why didn't i wear gloves when washing up a dry-hop bag" when taking it out of a secondary. i swear that smell sticks with you worse than cutting onions...lol. wonder what my coworkers think of my new hop-cologne?!?!

"I wonder how much more difficult it would be to make meth?"

Get a Go Pro and use the head mount! POV home brewing...

Get a Go Pro and use the head mount! POV home brewing...

And other uses too! Think of the disturbing possibilities!

 

[HomebrewNate]

"It would be so much easier to distill whiskey"

 

[HomebrewNate]

"I'll give you all the beer you want... just return the bottles"

 

[Hawaiibboy]

"Now where'd I put that six pack of homebrew to age, so that I couldn't find it?!" When the pipeline goes dry...

 

[ArkotRamathorn]

"I'm not drinking this week. I mean it. For real this time."

I stopped saying that months ago after I got a promotion and suddenly I had responsibility at work. Now I just say, "I won't get black out drunk this week, till at least Thursday, maybe."

That's my current dilemma.

 

[unionrdr]

My problem as well. I wanna get a 2nd fridge for the man cave/brewery. Not getting a lot of positive feedback on that one...

I'm lucky there. She's got her own income, and mine is good enough that I can buy just about anything I want. As long as all the bills are paid first. I am a resourceful tight wad though.

She keeps her money for herself. I know that don't sound fair,... but she never says a word about anything I drag in, doesn't even ask the price. The most I hear is, "what's that for??? Brewing?" And not in a bad way either.

pb

ETA: But having a kegerator by my side is banned!!! She says I get too drunk, too fast! And she can't get frisky with an old drunk! hehehe

I wonder if I can make hop cologne by dry hopping it. If it adds aroma to beer, it has to add it to cologne.

I wish I had CAD at home so I didn't have to design all my brewing gear at the office.

When I'm 2 weeks overdue bottling my Red Rye'Der Pale Ale

"Let's not call it Lazy, let's just call it extra dry hopping."

&

"If I didn't already have 8 varieties of beers on hand this would be a tragedy."

 

[cluckk]

My son is coming to visit for the first time in almost two years and today I asked if he wanted to brew a batch of beer with me while here.

 

[unionrdr]

Boy,I wish. First my wife becomes a type one diabetic,then my son gets a medical condition where he can't drink anymore. I'm the last man standing. Damn...

 

[high5apparatus]

"I can't believe a fellow home brewer would return my bottles with science projects in the bottom."

 

[geoffm33]

"I can't believe a fellow home brewer would return my bottles with science projects in the bottom."

Damn. On vaca last week I rinsed a case of empties as I drank them. As good as if I were keeping them. Only to leave them in the recycling bin.

 

[isleofman]

"I can't believe a fellow home brewer would return my bottles with science projects in the bottom."

That is all kinds of wrong...

 

[StroudCreek]

I bought a $9.99 watch, took the battery out and set it for 5 o'clock. Now every time I look at my watch it's always time for a home brewed beer.

I stopped saying that months ago after I got a promotion and suddenly I had responsibility at work.

I know the feeling. Two weeks ago, my wife and I started Paleo, so I knew I shouldn't drink [lots of] beer. That same day, I learned some major stuff was going down at work, and being a manager means a whole bunch of it was dumped on me to figure out how to make sure my guys had a future with the company as well as myself. But to do it in the midst of a major transition that we'd all have to support too.

My first thought was the movie Airplane: "Boy, I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue."

(A lot more apfelwein and Scotch were drunk that week than usual.)

"Monday. I'd rather be brewing"

 

[RedOktoberfest]

"Monday. I'd rather be brewing"

I'd rather be bottling...

 

[high5apparatus]

I'd rather be bottling...

Did that yesterday, leaving me with 4 open fermenters and my phobia of empty glass making my skin crawl.

 

[DrunkleJon]

hmmm... I get off work at 3:15. I dont have to be at work until 6:30 tomorrow morning. I have time to brew. I dont need sleep. I can sleep when I am drunk.
