I won't argue with you on that one...

When you rush to the UPS with handfuls of repackaged WL vials of a yeast strain you cultured up from the bottle, to ship to your BN brothers' in Arms.

The look on the ladies face was pretty priceless. "This is yeast? Really?"

... if the guy who owns the homebrew shop in a city a few hours away calls you up one morning just to chat for a half-hour... and you can hear customers in the background.

When your wife's biggest complaint is that you spend more time cleaning the brewery than cleaning the house.

When you give your friends a list of beers to bring when traveling from out of town.

When you factor the price of a hydrometer into the price of brewing a batch.

When all Holidays are, by default, brew days.

and last but not least ....

You know you're a home-brewer if you pay your babysitter in growlers.

... you've spent more than one afternoon sitting on your kitchen floor.

I've been kegging for so long, I forgot the fun in bottling day - while brewing 30g yesterday I managed to bottle up 4 cases.

... you installed a vent hood in your shed for winter brewing and use snowdrifts as wort chillers.
... you spend more time cleaning your brewing equipment than you spend cleaning yourself.
Prost!
