I just took stock of the pipeline.
The pipeline is full. We're getting close to our household yearly limit.
I took stock of empties today. I have enough empty bottles to bottle in excess of 10 batches. I have exactly 11 kegs that are EMPTY!
I only have 7 carboys, so an increase in production will be hard. I drink what I want, when I can. I have 7 different lagers lagering now with a target date of bottling @ Christmas.
Anybody else have this problem? The first 10 batches, I was drinking like a mad-man to obtain bottles, begging friends for bottles & hounding the bars in town for empties. Well, they all came through for me. I have enough bottles.
My storage space is nearing full & I'd rather use it for full bottles rather than empties.
The more I type, the more this is not a problem, just a good reason to rip off a few 2 week batches real soon. Only problem is I was planning a Lambic, a mead, and some more aphelwine, so that'll tie up carboys for months to a year. I guess that'll only leave 4 carboys for some quick batches!
Thanks ya'll.
