how many batches?

How long have you folks been brewing? How mant batches?

Me, 12 batches in 8 months

3 batches in 2 months.
I'll be brewing batch number 4 (Guinness clone) this Friday.

Never knew what I was missing before, but I'm glad that I found it!

107 batches in 4 years

Been brewing for the last 3 years but only started getting more serious this year with 12 batches in 12 mos. And another schedualed for MLK day

looking back through my note books, about 62 in 5 years. some where w/ brew friends, most alone for my own consuption :~)

on batch 6, been brewing for 3 months.

Just got a commercial grade 8 gallon stainless kettle, and wort chiller, so I expect to be doing much more soon (especially since i have 2 kits on order)

Six years. Don't know total batches, but I've done eight this year.

Don't know. I've lost most of my recipes during a hard drive crash and had to get the HD's replaced...

I've been brewing since '93, but didn't brew for 5 years (Feb 99-Feb 04) because I was living in Bamberg, Germany (Maisel's, Mahr's, Greifenklau, Reichelbräu, not to mention Tucher, Franziskaner, Paulaner, Spaten, St. Georgenbräu, the REAL Budvar, then there's the beers from the dozens of countries I've vacationed in, etc.).

Why even try when the best is down the street?

I've brewed 19 batches this year and have a starter in high kräusen right now.

13 in four months... and plan on doing one on tomorrow.

Noob here... 3 in 2 months. Fat Tire Clone in secondary.
Hefeweizen last 12 bottles in fridge.

25 plus this past year... i don't know if i wanna count some of the early extract batches cause they didn't all get drunk, and i was temporarily closed between the months of august through december due to a house move.

we've done three in december since i re-opened the basement brewery in the new house...

Been at it for about 5 months and have 9 batches under my belt, have 6 kits sitting in closet ready for a carboy to free up.

Yep I went a little overboard when I started. I believe I did 8 in 8 weeks, then slowed down... b/c I didn't have enough bottles

I am doing extract w/ some grain, so really it only takes me about 2 hours a batch or so.

Needless to say a lot of people like to come over now and at around $20 for 5 gallons its hard not to give it away. Main thing I ask for is a little help cleaning b/c that to me is the biggest pain of homebrewing.
