Afflictions home brewers suffer from...

My back and feet hurt by the end of the brew day.

 

Terminal Impatience - Patient is unable or unwilling to wait for their beer to reach terminal gravity. May, in fact, be terminal for said beer.

Empty Wallet Syndrome - "Sure, it costs $200 for [brewing gadget], but think of the money I'm saving by making my own beer!"

Full-basementitis - "Do we really need to keep all these family photos? I could probably get another carboy in here..."

 

trench foot if you get your shoes drenched early on brew day...

 

I burnt the tip of my nose once whiffing the kettle too closely and had a bright red circle on the tip of my nose for three days.

 

Not very flattering for a lady en vogue!

 

burned my foot bad last year with hot wort.
i also know for a fact that home brewers are white males with facial hair,but that isn't always an affliction.

 

Goes along with some others already mentioned, but:

-Chronic impatience - packaging/drinking yourbeer before it is ready or in its prime because you just can't find it in you to wait any longer.

-brewing addiction in conjunction with
hoarding - being compelled to brew so
frequently that you can't possibly drink all of
the beer that you've made so You amass a
huge collection that will sit in storage for years

Yeast infection (Haha had to slip that one in)

Diabetes (this one is unfortunately too real to be funny).

 

Cellar Blindness. Sadly most cases go unreported.

 

Smellortastethis - repeatedly asking your spouse/SO/children/dog to smell or sample your beer/wort/grains/hops/yeast. May result in strange looks and/or ridicule.

 

consumption

 

Beer Belly. You can't find a pinch of fat on my chicken legs but I got a beer belly that will contend with best of them.

 

besides the common aches pains and occasional burn, I suffer anxiety while waiting for the finished product!

I have an APA(my first all grain from scratch recipe I call no training wheels) and Belgian strong ale bottle conditioning and I cannot wait to drink them!!!!!!

 

Competition Fatigue: Sitting around the tasting table with a half dozen beers trying to figure out a) which beers are best, b) comp worthy?, c) actual style (not what the recipe said), d) how's it gonna taste on judgment day, and e) whose turn to buy the bubble wrap.

 

And of course Palate Fatigue to go along with it... homebrew judges sitting around the tasting table with a half dozen beers trying to figure out a) which beers are best, b) comp worthy?, c) actual style , d) how'd it taste on judgment day, and e) whose turn to clean up the bubble wrap.

 

Well I'm male so you got one part right

 

LTS - lupulin threshold shift

 

Can you blame them? What with the sulfuric acid and all..

 

I suffer from finding too many beer recipes and not having any more room to store the beer I make. I also find myself being a bit of a beer snob (as much as one can who loves everything beer) and giving the bar tender tips on how the brewery could make the beer a little better.

Also it's a little harder to keep the body of a god. Well I still do have the body of a god, Buddha.
