you know you've a brewing obsession when...

[dad_of_jon]

you go to a retail park to buy a couple pairs of tidy trousers for work and come back with 2 x 1.5kg cans of muntons pilsner for a fiver each :lol:

my local lakeland were selling off their HB stuff cheap. I think they're going to jack it in as a wilkos is opening up closeby to them.

what comfirms your brewing obsession?

p.s. I did manage to get trousers but spend the afternoon carrying 3kg of lme around :-?

When it's recycling day and you fill your cycle paniers with other people's stinking bottles on the way to work...

When you're sitting on the pot enjoying HBF posts....

When your girlfriend asks rhetorically " You're reading about brewing aren't you?".

Oh and when you're looking at buying a house and one of the criteria is that it has a shed large enough for brewing :whistle:

I still wish I'd moved to a different house a few miles away, but we didnt because my wife didnt like that one. It had a huge double garage as the ground floor for my gym, brewing equipment and a games room. And it overlooked Newhaven harbour , although the views directly out to sea were blocked by next door which was sat further forward. And there is a decent pub about 100m away.

I feel for you. I try to sell it to her this way;

If I have a room for it then I don't have to clutter up the house with it. Otherwise there are going to be brew fridges, pots and tables taking up space in the house :lol:

To be fair, we're probably in a bigger place now. A bungalow with a big garden and an orchard. Apparently 3 fruit trees is the requirement to call it an orchard and I have 4 apple (for cider), 1 plum, 2 cherry and have just added a 2nd pear tree. Well I say added, what I did was cut the one I had which was getting too tall in half and plant the top half I had cut off. Look to be taking with the first signs of life showing. Im probably better off here in reality, its just the double garage I want. My single one is a bit too packed with my various gym equipment, treadmill, brewing stuff, fishing stuff, project motorbike, bikes, tools, etc. I will be getting some extra sheds built this year though.

But I think the real sign of addiction to brewing for me is the amount of time I spend on here.

Sounds amazing, I'll be making a hop garden. Though I can only dream on such a property at the moment.

erm... something that's NOT denim? - business class I' 'suppose

Hmmmm I actually only own one pair of tidy trousers...and they're with a suit! The rest are jeans or combat/camo for outdoors stuff..I suppose if I don't need tidy trousers no point in getting any!
Wife's read this and said I need to smarten myself up a bit. ...no way am I putting creases down the front of my Levis!

Cheers

I sadly I still panic when I only find two CML yeast packets left,,
My pants happily are in the wardrobe, as I mainly wear shorts! Life is good:-o

 

[Shaun-O]

When I realise that people are glazing over round the bbq as I talk passionately about how to steal yeast from the bottom of bottles.... Laughing aloud at the thought like I'm 8 years old!!!!

 

[Linalmeemow]

Sounds familiar, I've become quite the brewing bore. Bollocks to them though, I enjoy myself!

 

[GerritT]

I knew brewing got big for me when the missus, junior and juniorette all three heartily agreed I should go on a brewing course. And gave me books about hops and recipes for my birthday.
I think that's a big YES :thumb:

+1 for yeast and i must always have hops in the freezer. They ward off evil spirits you know. :grin:
