Freezing sweet corn is so much easier now that you can blanch 3 dozen ears at a time.

And because you already have a FoodSaver for your hops!

And your FoodSaver is sticky and has yellow crap all over it

you segregate your beer drinking guests into who knows the difference and appreciates great beer and so-so beer. the so-so class always drinks from the keg you want to get rid of (guilty) ;D

EDIT: admit it...you've done it  ;)
Haha. SO GUILTY. This is exactly what our outsourcing parties are. We have older beer on tap and have a fresh batch waiting in the wings. Solution? Invite friends over who accept the challenge. :)

...you've mopped the ceiling.
...the only time you clean up the dishes is when you need to use the kitchen sink for beer related activity.
...the "door beers" are only for special occasions and guests.
... your kids drink their juice from pint shaker glasses because that is all you have room for in the cabinets, (and they have their favorite logo/brewery).

You nag the wife that the bleach is getting low and scold her not to get "lemon scented" when she picks up more.   :P

...your significant other asks why the bucket of sanitizer is blocking the pantry door and you respond, "because blocking the fridge is just stupid."


Me last night in kegging in our dinky apartment kitchen.

...you don't have a washer and dryer in your apartment because the kegerator is where the washer should be and the jockey box, Star San and brew kettle is where the dryer should be.  Oh, and the dart board is in between.

Your wife serves a new dinner dish and catches you gazing into space after the first bite and asks "so what do you think?"  To which you respond "I am just thinking which beer to pair with this...."

SWMBO is working and you have the day off and you're tanked when she gets home and tell her you are taking her to her favorite restaurant as she walks through the door....of course she doesn't mind driving.  :P

Every time a brewery puts something strange in their beer. Everyone asks if you've heard of it and when you will try making it.  (Just brewed an 80 shilling with an invasive algae) coworkers' idea

You've fired up the 10-gal with false bottom for the whole-family pasta dinner. Lifting heavy pots is for suckers.
In this same vein: using your old boil kettle for crab legs. What? Who has a pot big enough for crab legs outside of a boil kettle? :)
Yep, my old boil kettle now handles crawfish and seafood boils.  Plenty big enough for that, but not brewing!

You rinse the shampoo off of your dog and you feel like you're sparging.

You do anything that involves rinsing and think of it as sparging. :D

You tell SWMBO that she needs to cut back on expenses but, you just ordered 200 bucks worth of hop oils!

My old kettle is also now for crab and lobster.

Also if your three year old calls pots kettles
