Must agree Sky was a pain. The only other character I have wanted to see disappear from a show that bad is Carl from the Walking Dead. Man, that kid gets on my nerves like off flavors.
Run then beer.

Your wife and kids walk by and say  "Still reading about beer?" .  Multiple times every day.

Or worse, they say, "You're still on the AHA forum?"  ;D

That's pretty funny. I think my wife would vote for AHA in that case.    ;D

When your weekend revolves around your "production schedule."
What? Non travel weekends are brew weekends!

I'll add: when you keep a hydrometer on the kitchen counter. How many of us do this?

^^^I'm guilty of this. I'm also the only one to wash the beer glasses, because only I "can do it right".

...when you bring homebrew to a party. And glasses. Three kinds of glasses. Because you brought  porter, IPA, and  saison.

Do your dishwashers not clean well enough or am I doing it wrong? We just put the Spiegelaus in the dishwasher and run it. Dry with microfiber and done.

We currently don't have a dishwasher. We are putting an addition on to expand our kitchen starting in a couple weeks. I'm going to install a dishwasher and a tap system. Psyched.

Mine cleans pretty well, but if I take the glasses out and rinse them in super hot water then hand dry, I've noticed head retention is definitely better.  My beers all have good foam, but I guess I'm kind of OCD about it. Or I guess I should say CDO.

You've fired up the 10-gal with false bottom for the whole-family pasta dinner. Lifting heavy pots is for suckers.
