I like that. With the upscaled brewing volume (now 15 gallons), I'd be more than happy to bottle a few and send 'em...as long as I get a few bottles in return.the_bird said:More beer swaps.

Baron von BeeGee said:Yeah, let me see where the spreadsheet I made is. Might be at work (!). I think there's quite a bit more than more individuals could brew...you have to pick and choose. Also, I'm not opposed to a stout in the summer and Hefeweizen in the winter if need be!
Never found the spreadsheet, but here is the data I used that someone else posted from a book (I don't agree with all the times, but it's something to start with):olllllo said:BvBG:
Did you ever find that spreadsheet.
I want to do something like that as google calendar mashup with the 2006 style guide.

olllllo said:I have been extract brewing for many years now brewing every so often without alot of purpose or direction. I've made good beers and I also made some klunkers.
In the short time that I have been on this board, I have:
I don't think that this was a coincidence. Thank you all for the part that you have played in my beer education.
- Brewed a better quality beer;
- Become more knowledgeable about equipment;
- Become more knowledgeable about brewing techniques;
- Learned more about beer styles.
In 2007, I hope to continue with my learning experience further. Among my goals:
Thanks again for 2006. Looks like we all have some work to do in 2007.
- Do more brewing outside of my comfort zone; Partially
- Decide if going AG is for me; Yes
- Appreciate and be able to describe fully every new beer that I sample; In Process
- Network with local brewers in AZ; Just 1 brewout with DeserBrew I can do better.
- Try to make 2 appearances at a HBT gathering outside of AZ (you have been warned); VAgraNCy, NHC, GABF!!! maybe one more before year's end!
- Recruit 1 new brewer to our cult er... hobby; In Progress, he has yet to brew.
- Bring at least one brewer over to our board; Not Yet.
- Attend GABF 2007; DONE!
- Start Lagering; Scheduled for NOV.
- Bottle more; FAIL
- Always have at least 3 beers on tap; Success!
ETA: spell mo' better In Progress
ETA2: and the grammer thing. In Progress

Well I entered one beer and did fairly decent. It's a good thing I didn't have any other expectations for 2007 because I've barely brewed.RichBrewer said:I'm thinking about putting a beer or two into a competition. I don't expect to win but it might be fun. The National AHA conference will be here next summer so maybe it's a perfect opportunity.

Brewpastor said:Have less evening meetings so I can be home more often to enjoy the fruits of my labor and thus creating the need to brew more often and thereby providing me with the opportunity to brew a greater variety of beer.
Bring about world peace.
Find more DIY brewing projects.
I'll get there. First up would be the mash tun.Brewsmith said:For me, I'd also like to start entering some competitions, This year I got my ag system dialed in and upped the production. I also built a kegerator and duh, started kegging. I've found a few recipes that I really like and are great starting points to perfecting them. If I had to make a list it would look something like this:
1. Enter homebrew competitions - I did, and won a few awards!
2. Get/Build 15 gal. brewpot - Still on the list of stuff to do, and the year's not over
3. Build CFC of some other method to chill wort from above mentioned pot - ditto
4. Build 10 gallon mash tun - Ditto
5. Perfect a few recipes - Getting there, i have a couple

- Stay on my current schedule of brewing a new batch every other weekend.
- Get another 6 gal carboy, a 5 gal carboy, and a 3 gal carboy.
- Build up a good collection of larger bottles to supplement my already large supply of 12oz bottles.
- Buy the equipment to make a small carboy chilling tank to get my ferment temps into the 60s.
- Move into a house so I can really let loose with this awesome hobby!
