if you guys just figured that out I wonder about you. Anyway what I am currently drinking is about 12%. And you see where my cat is so you know what they are into. Anyway what I am saying is that I have done such HB that the equipment is all my cats know for toys.

Really? You all suspected that Haer was right in the head? Haven't you been paying attention? What would he be doing here?

When?.... You stop at a friends house and he is trying to be sociable and keeps bringing out the BMC's and all the while you would rater be drinking one of your own homebrews and want to leave. It is ok though if the friend is into good beers and then you might stay awhile and help him delete his stockpile.

You Know You're a Homebrewer WHEN:

You watch a football game, see shots of the sidelines, notice the big Gatorade coolers, and think: "oooh, mash tun..."

At least in my case - when 90% of the time you look at beer at the store and think ... self... I can make twice as much (or more!) beer for the same price... and it will probably be better... and then walk away from the beer shelf.
This, and you plan your weekends off according to the weather so you can brew a batch outside, no matter how cold it is! :D

I'll let that sink in a minute....

Your city announces emergency water conservation measures and you immediately do a mental inventory of how many bottles need to be washed.

"Filled with mingled cream and amber
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain

Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."

Man! Am I glad that I'm not the only one that does that. Another I catch myself doing when I'm pouring a commercial beer is pour it real slow so as not to overly disturb the trub at the bottom of the bottle.
Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into
Are awake through years with transferred touch and go on glowing
For long years.
And for this reason some old things are lovely
Warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.
