…A line forms behind at Wal-Mart while you’re filling up 20 gallons of RO water at the filling station.
“Sorry… I only have about 13 more gallons to go!”
I get the strangest looks at Kroger walking in with 2, 3, or 4 5 gallon empty bottles, and stranger looks while filling 2 at a time. Love that store, all the others only have room for 1 bottle at a time, even if 2 spigots
Yeah. My Walmart has a terrible design flaw. Two spigots but can’t fit two 5 gallon jugs in.
The stores I buy from (with low TDS water) have only one spigot on their machines, so customers really love me. I can fill 10 gallons in just under 5 minutes. Not much consolation for the people behind me, though. ;D
Yeah, dont think I have had anyone waiting on me, just odd looks as people passed through the produce section. And dont even mention the employees coming out of the stock room right next to the machine
Bring some hose?
C’mon, who has extra hose sitting around? Oh wait a minute, what’s the name of this thread?
You wake up and check your fermentation before you make the coffee.
…you check the extended weather forecast to see if you’re okay to brew the lager that you have planned.
You video the bloops and send it to your friends
Just heard this one today on Basic Brewing Radio and lol’d:
“When your wife asks you to mash some potatoes, and you heat up some strike water.”
Is there anything possibly more gratifying? I open fermented a saison recently and the lack of the “bulb blubs” was somewhat of a let down!
You might be a homebrewers if you know what (airlock) bulb blubs are!
…you remember the other Michael Jackson was a singer…
Your family name is Irish so you carry a pack of Irish Moss in your pocket for St. Patrick’s Day. Happy St. Patty’s Day and don’t forget the wearing of the green. 8)
…, you calibrate your homebrewing spreadsheet using Denny’s NOTI Brown Ale.
This happened to me the other weekend at the Northwest Homebrew Conference. They announced a raffle prize winner as Michael Jackson (and supposedly it was a member of the OBC, but we weren’t sure who it was) and my wife was like “Michael Jackson is in our club?” and I replied with “Michael Jackson the beer book author?” and she just looked perplexed and said “Thank you for busting out Michael Jackson the author…” Sadly I had forgotten in the context that Michael Jackson the author had passed away.
The AHA forum is bookmarked on your laptop.
You get both Zymurgy and BYO in the mail.
You haven’t bought commercial beer in a while.
Cheers Everyone! My Friday starts tonight… 8) ;D
You drink a Guinness on Saint Patrick’s Day and think to yourself “This is the BJCP Classic Example for Dry Irish Stout…”
Nice.
