You know you are a Shiner when…

when you understand what people are talking about when they use these acronyms: DWWG, UJSM, BOP, WPOSW, BWSW, FFMW; and when words like strike temp and azeotrope no longer confuse you; and when you understand the difference between dunder, lees, mash, wort, and backset.

And you've learnt more about chemistry in 6 month than you bothered to learn in your entire school career

When you show every time on poker night with clear glass bottles of hooch with no label, and all you can do is give them a blank look and shrug your shoulders.

When you go into your "wine cellar", pull out a bunch of wine you've been aging for about 4 years, and run it through the still cause you just can't wait any longer for your wash to clear.

My step dad is a first generation Italian/American. His father (was) and Brother is a very very good wine maker for a really long time. We usually can't wait for Uncle Salvatore to make the Christmas trip down with the case of goodies (we love uncle sal too mind you). Uncle Sal still has equipment in use in the celler from when his father was alive................ I will never share that omission with my step dad's family members for fear of................ahh well. Wine was prolly vinigery any way.

Dawg gone BD, thats kinda hard core

Post by **blind drunk** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 6:49 pm

Uncle Salvatore ... I got one of those. But uncle Mimo makes the best wine

. Cheers, bd.

I love this topic!
I spent a lot of time convincing my wife that I need a boat.

Now, I think of reasons to leave the boat in the garage and 'try another recipe'!

Post by **goinbroke2** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 9:42 am

This happened just the other day...

You know when, the old lady is making strawberry jam and needs pectin, mason jar lids and "4 bags of sugar because we're out", and you go to the store and buy all of it although you've got four packs of lids and sixteen 2kg bags of sugar hidden in the garage that she don't know about.

You know when, even though you hate her garden, tilling, hauling compost, etc you get all excited seeing rhubarb coming up for the first time. (and answer "no reason" when she looks at you questioningly).

When someone offers you a fifth of Crown Royal and you graciously decline and in a drunken lapse respond that you have gallons of better stuff at home.

Post by **Barney Fife** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 1:46 pm

when... you overhear someone say -anything- bad about ;shine or 'shiners, and you jump-in with hard facts about how it isn't so.

when... you drink store-bought because you ran out of yours while on vacation, and awake with a headache, which makes you realize your product doesn't cause headaches!
