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.

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…
