You know you're a home-brewer if:

[baltobrewer]

You have more iodine-based sanitizers in your house than the average hospital ER.

[Brew Engineer]

You have more beer in your basement than the local grocery store has in its giant walk-in cooler. (The fact that it's better beer doesn't really need to be pointed out).

[Oregon J]

You've ever picked up a glass of beer at a bar and bitched about how you could make five gallons of beer for less than you paid for this round of drinks... and you're beer would taste better too.
-- Gary F.

I was thinking this exact thing when paying my tab at the Rose & Crown in Palo Alto just last night.

Only it was ten gallons. . .

[Oregon J]

- You actually understand what the hell Jamil is saying.

And so does your wife.

[ApexBrewing]

The owner of your local home brew shop knows what kind of car you drive and will come out of the front door to greet you.

He also happens to know what kind of car your wife has since you at times drive it instead.

[Mylo]

I don't know if it makes me a homebrewer - or a drunk BNer...


... when listening to the First Anniversary show on a random Friday afternoon - Sully convinces YOU to join in and shotgun a craft beer in a can. I didn't have a 21A, but I did have a Dale's Pale.


... when you overhear your kids watching Sponge Bob Square Pants - who mentions riding a unicorn over the rainbow - and you think if Justin and JP.

Your wife walks out of the spare bathroom (where my hefe is sitting in the tub fermenting away) waving her hand in front of her face to blow away the smell....and makes the comment, "that's not a bathroom, that's a brewery!" and it stinks in there.

[dkrel]

Your wife asks if she can have her robe back and you tell her that she can have the carboy cover back when you hit your final gravity.
