You Know You're a Homebrewer When...

Post by bluenose » Tue Jan 31, 2012 9:57 pm

In the spirit of Jeff Foxworthy:

If you enjoy the the uncarbonated leftovers from bottling day more than the beer you can buy from the big breweries...

you might be a homebrewer.

Let's see what y'all got

(by the way, I'm enjoying the uncarbonated leftovers from bottling day right now, and it kicks like a mule :spilly: )
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

You're favorite birthday gift is a tub of no-name oxi-clean that your daughter bought as a "joke-gift"

Your winter coats live on the floor in the hallway cause there's no room in the closet due to the brew gear.

You pass by a grain silo and think what a huge conical that it is.
Or when someone mentions beer, Coors Light don't come to your mind.
