30 Gallons of beer in the house

[BendBrewer]

6 5-gallon batches. All in process

I had to go buy beer to drink last night.

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

30 gallons on tap. Wife is in another country. And no stripper.

I has the sad too.

 

[BendBrewer]

You're my kind a guy Gila.

 

[Whut]

That's awesome BB. I had 30 gallons but I've been drinking it. I'm now down to my last 5 gallons that was brewed on 12/5. Guess I need to stock up again!

 

[BendBrewer]

Thanks. I brewed my first batch on January 16th and my first 3 batches are GONE.

You didn't even give the poor beers a chance to peak!

 

[BendBrewer]

Yes, I know. Hence, why the bottles are stacking up now.

 

[MasterWan]

nice man! I have 20 gallons conditioning and I have been drinking store bought too. I have a Big Cream Ale 5.5% that should be ready mid month as well as a Fat Tire clone. Then I have 2 different wheat beers, one honey and one Apricot that should be ready in April. I will be brewing up my first partial mash this weekend! I have a 5 gallon keg of 2 Below (New Belgium) in the kegerator ATM. I used to like it, but now it just turns me off. Kinda like Fat Tire but more nutty and malty. At 6.6% alcohol it just wears on you.

When you guys start throwing around this type of quantity it makes me wonder how much you guys drink on average. I usually have a single beer at night during the week and then on the weekends I'll have a couple if I'm doing chores and whatnot. Then there is the guy's night where I'll have five or six.

How much beer do you guys drink on an average night?

Including the 2 stops on my way home? I really don't want to do the math.

But between me and the little lady, a 6-pack a night at home is nothing.

I don't drink soda. It's either water or beer. My signature tells it all.

I have 55 gallons going right now if you count apfelwein and hard lemonade and I will brew an IPA this week yet. I drink in an AVERAGE night 0 beers. I drink rarely. Almost never more than 2-3. I just really like making it!!

 

[Corkster]

I'm similar to ohiosteve here.... If I was to average out my drinking over the entire year, it'd be less than two beers per day.... I enjoy the heck out of drinking it, but I enjoy brewing it even more...

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

2 a day. But lately I have been nightcapping with stronger elixirs.

 

[FallsDamBrewery]

I usually go for a six pack a night...and that depends on how I feel or what I am eating...sometimes a little less...mostly a little more...:-D

My wife and I enjoy our back yard garden so we tend to drink a little more in he summertime than in the winter...

We are brewing our Strawberry Wheat Blonde entitled "Rita Haywood Strawberry Blonde" as we speak! Cheers!

 

[BendBrewer]

I am guessing that I have a problem.......

Don't you guys get thirsty?

 

[Neonsilver]

I drink about two a day and have 20 gallons in process. I'll be purchasing two more fermentors so once this 20 comes out I can fill them all with another 35. It is much more difficult for me to brew during summer (temps too high and no air conditioning) so I'm doing as much as I can now while temps are almost perfect.

I do but, I'd rather lose weight.

 

[FreeM80s]

I do. The nights I drink, not every night, but almost, I'll have between 2-6

I'm playing a game of chicken between trying to lose weight and trying to drink all the beer (and wine) that accumulates in my place. With the pending wedding the weight loss is winning(and the beer growing), temporarily, but barely.

Did you pour it from a ladder so it would have some head?

Care to share your hard lemonade recipe...PLEASE!!!!

 

[BendBrewer]

Did you pour it from a ladder so it would have some head?

No, actually after 2 weeks (I did wait that long at least) it had a great head.

(sadly something my house hasn't since I got engaged.)

and poured gently. My first!

Now I'm thirsty.

It is yooper brews recipe. I believe it is in her profile.
I used
10 cans of minute maid frozen lemonade concentrate

4 pounds sugar

Yeast nutrient( her recipe calls for more than I had)

Tsp potassium metabisulfite

I started red star pastuer red yeast in a small amount of must and built a small starter. I pitched it tuesday and the hydrometer hasn't budged.

Hehe. I have to agree. For me its beer, wine, coffee, tea or water. I usually have a couple beers or a half a bottle of wine a night.

 

[Memnoch]

I have 15 gallons conditioning right now, all last week was all store bought (60min IPA, Two Hearted and Hopslam though!).

I have two brews that have been bottled for three weeks tomorrow so I finally have more HB to drink! Of course, I only have two that are ready to drink, another week before I can bottle the others, I think I'm going to run out of HB again!

Of course, mentioned to the SWMBO last night that I either need to go get kegging equipment or *gulp* more bottles to keep up. Her definite answer was NO MORE BOTTLES! I guess she's tired of cleaning them for me

Of course, I need more carboys too, three is just not enough anymore... Maybe a trip to the LHBS this weekend if I can get the blessing...

 

[fatguy-littlecoat]

i have 25 gallons in the house. i only drink about 6 beers a week and all on the same day.. im on the body for life diet, no weekday beers for me.. I probably wont brew for another year or so i just hope the 6 cases of IPA's I have dont fade too much with age..

 

[android]

just kicked my last keg last night... man that went fast. got some more in the pipeline!

 

[rwinzing]

I currently have two on tap, One batch in the bottles (will be ready in another 2 weeks), another two brews in primary and ingrediants for four more batches.

Plus SN Bigfoot, Pale Ale, Bock,, ESB, Rouge Dead Guy Ale

Seems everytime I get close to getting my pipeline built up I have people over and all more resources are depleated :rockin:

 

[osagedr]

Let's see...11 gallons of ale fermenting; 10 gallons lagering; 18 gallons bottle conditioning and 35 gallons' worth of ingredients waiting to get started in the next month or so. But once spring hits I won't do much active brewing.

I give lots away and tend to drink it very slowly. I doubt seriously I would average more than a 5 bottles per week.
