    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Jalapeno Cream Ale

    How much do you brew??

    Being a freelancer I have a bit of an odd schedule. I just brewed 62 gallons in the last 4 weeks, 60 of which were 10 gallon batches. I brewed only 2 10 gallon batches in the 3 months leading up to that. I'm probably hovering around 150 gallons on the year.
