I wish i could figure it out, lost here about this. Between the suggested times i hear for conditioning and whatnot, i cant keep even one 5gal batch around long enough to have different beers around my place.

There is a very simple solution.
Let X be the greatest amount of beer that you would go through in a given amount of time (t).
Let Y be the the amount of beer that you brew in time t.
Whenever Y > X,
Whenever Y = X,
Whenever Y < X,
For example, let's say that you go through 5 gallons of beer in two weeks:
X = 5 gallons
t = 2 weeks
Y must be greater than 5 gallons.
Therefor, you must brew more than 5 gallons of beer every two weeks.

The most expensive kits I get with tax are right around $60. That $60 makes 2 cases of beer, sometimes more. That same $60 kit that makes two cases of beer is the type of beer that bought in the store would run you $10 or more for one bomber.
Check out the recipes on here plenty of extract ones 33Lbs. of LME is 72.00 by me add some seeping grains, bulk hops keeping yeast cultures and you can brew for 2/3rds of a kit. My most expensive bath is a Barleywine at 23# of base grains...Or go all grain and save.........my.02
There was a post about this yesterday.. get more fermentors and keep them full. Brew bigger batches if you need to. It's pretty easy if you have the time to brew. Heck, a new bucket fermentor only costs a few bucks if that's all that's stopping ya.
I try to keep a few extra pounds of grain on hand.
If space is the issue, how about Corneys as fermenters. I have been thinking of doing that. The footprint of a corney is smaller, but they are taller. I could put 3-4 in my fermentation chamber, but just 2 buckets.
Remove a post, insert airlock with appropriately sized stopper.I've been thinking about doing this myself, but how do you get an airlock on a corney keg?
