You empty your pockets at night and find a CO2 cartridge in there........
-
I disagree. Bicyclists use co2 cartridges to quickly pumped up fixed flat tires...
-
Un-milled kernels of malted barley fall to the floor as you take off your shoes and socks

Your 4 yr old walks into school monday morning saying she is going to a brewpub that night for a beer meeting and she was brewing the day before.
--that was yesterday actually.

That's if you can find your pants.
-
you thought it might be cool to give your kid the initials: IPA, ESB or APA -- I can actually do the middle one, hmmm....

When you go to Home Depot to get some nuts & bolts and walk out 2 hours later with enough parts to totally redo the liquid & gas plumbing on your brew rig.

You have a collection of old computers in your basement that you plan on turning into stirplates.
-
you think about pushing your 17 year old to specialize in Chemical Eng instead of Civil Eng at college next year so he can help you with the math.

....you have a freezer dedicated to storing hops.

Ok, when you can't fix your flat because you charged the keg instead ;)

hey, i did that with one... it was a mini one in a clear box. it works great and looks cool too...
-
when you look at the washing machine and think, i can make a mash tun out of that ;D
-
When the coolest thing to happen to you in the past week is finding out that a new acquaintance is interested in hearing about your brewing ... and actually listens when the others at the table say "Oh-oh, here he goes..." ::)

That's just silly. If you are going to turn your washing machine into anything it would be a centrifuge.
-

You sure those weren't nitrous?
- When your basement family room starts looking more like a grain room or tap room.
- When you start looking at ventilation units to turn your storage room into a brewery.
- When you consider a different electrical panel size, to accomodate your 220V needs.
-
When you tell your wife "since Winter in Central Iowa has gotten so mild anymore, you should close in the garage to make it a full time brewery and the cars can just sit outside."

My buddy just turned an old drum washer into a chicken plucker. It's rather amusing to see the feathers fly...

...you can swaddle your carboy better than you can your baby.
-
to be more realistic, if your baby weighed 50 pounds it would be much easier to swaddle.

You get super excited when Wally world has a sale on coolers and you buy a 150 quart without thinking it all the way through because "man, it's only $80!" (Oh and you avoid Wallyworld like the plague to begin with)
-
When you walk through the grocery store and say to yourself, "I can ferment that, and that, and ohhhh that would be good in this kind of beer."
-
you haven't actually done any plumbing repairs in years but you still have pipe cutters and a MAP gas torch you use at least once a month.

I was SO close to pulling the trigger on that one...
You know you're a homebrewer when the freezer on your fridge has virtually no room for food, just hops.
....you have a freezer dedicated to storing hops.
Well, I do need more frozen storage. Alright, where's my checkbook? ;D

Hey Speed, is this you?

no but i heard about that.

When you wife asks "how much are you spending on ingredients and how much on equipment" each month.
When your wife says "another UPS package?" as much as "you're having another beer?".
When your wife asks, "so what are you brewing this weekend?"
AND +1 to when you look in your back room and start imagining how to get the air vent and shield installed so you can make it in to a brewery....... ;D

You have a collection of old computers in your basement that you plan on turning into stirplates.
AND computer speakers are a great source of 12V power supplies, variable resistors, and power switches.

Your wife asks "When are we brewing agian?"
Your wife asks "Did you get the West Yorkshire Ale yeast? When can we make the Landlord Bitter knockoff?"
Your wife asks "Should we go North or South/before or after the NHC in Seattle?"
Your wife asks "There is a Founders beer dinner in town, want to go?"
My wife really does ask those questions. She does!
You spend the day making a beer you have never had an example of, because it is extinct. Recipe for a Graetzer on page 192 of Radical Brewing by Mosher. That is after several sessions of smoking the wheat malt, all of the grist, and then you toast some of that. It went well, did an hour at 122F, and the gummy mess then converted and was easy to work at 149F for an hour. 2 Lbs of rice hulls for 10 gallons, and no problems with the lauter.

Hmmm, I must not be a homebrewer then. None of what you guys said applies to me...guess I should just look and see if there's beer in my kegs and fermenters, that might give me an indication of whether I'm a homebrewer or not...

Just because these things indicate a homebrewer does not mean the lack of these things indicate a non-homebrewer.
all widgets are either Blue or Purple
All purple widgets are type A
Is a type A widget always purple?

You go to a flea market, see any large kettle, and know from afar the capacity......in quarts.

Haha, that was funny! I know, I admit I am filled with "negative waves" more than I care for.

Love that movie....

Apparently, I have quite a ways to go before becoming a true homebrewer...
