Yea, I think it's pretty much official. I've got 5 gallons of Russian Imperial Stout, 5 gallons of a New Belguim Frambozen Clone (basically a raspberry brown ale), and 2 gallons of hard cider brewing. That's 12 gallons of booze folks. But is that enough for me?? I guess not, because I can't stop thinking about my next batches. I just ordered enough ingredients for 3 more 5 gallon batches!!! It was just gonna be for two batches, but in order to get free shipping I needed to get my total order to $59. I was at $55, and I said, bah, what the heck, and ordered some more malt so I can do one more batch. That brought the total order to $68.
I also find myself hoarding hops. I had 7 oz in the freezer, but that wasn't enough, so last week I jumped onto freshhops.com and ordered another 12 oz. AND I NEVER USE MORE THEN 2 OZ IN A BATCH!!! I can't help myself though.
Oh, and I have some plans in my head for some wine once the cider is done brewing.
So, yea, my name is John, I'm addicted to brewing, and I'm loving every minute of it. Now if I could just drink it as quickly as I made it..........oh well, that's a problem I'm more then happy to have (and my freinds are happy with that problem as well cuz it usually means free brew for them).
