How long have you been brewing

[sorefingers23]

How long have u been brewing, and how often do you brew?

Ive been brewing for 2 years, and try to brew at least once a month.

 

[Shizog4]

2 years, wish I brewed more but I do a batch every two months.......time is an issue

 

[Nugent]

I made my first post about a month after my first batch.

So, about 3.5 yrs. I brew about once a month.

 

[strambo]

About 6 months, 1-2 times/month.

 

[ahawks9er]

Started about 1.5 years ago. I average a little over a batch a month, but accelerating! Keg/keezer setup is in the works and now I feel it will be easier to up the quantity of brews.

 

[djfriesen]

7 months, and I try to get in a batch a month, but I've fallen behind since the New Year.

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

6 1/2 years... Try to brew once a month, 10 gal batches. I usually hit about 10 batches per year rather than 12.

 

[wSelwyn]

Started brewing myself (other than just visiting friends when they brewed) about 1.5 years now. My brewing varies, depending on available time and income. The last 3 months, I've been lucky to brew 3 times a month. Though, I expect that this will slow down once I build up my summer stockpile...

12-13 years

I try to get 2 wines, a pressed cider, a barleywine and
a beer for st. patricks, 4th july, halloween and christmas every year.

Occasionally I fit something else in.

I started in 1996; that's 16 years. But I think I have to subtract 4, as SWMBO'd and I were in a tiny apartment for the last 4 years and thus I didn't brew. I'm back up to 1-2 batch(s)/month, plus wine.

I started a year ago next month. I try to squeeze in at least a batch a month. I didn't brew over the winter for some reason.

 

[The_General]

6 years

Over a year, I average about once a month or so but most of them are when the weather is nice.

 

[prsman]

10 years... Damn has it been that long? Typically brew once a month. Been unemployed for three so that has put a damper on things.

 

[Varmintman]

Stopped ten years ago and then started up again 5 months ago.

One batch a week. Got to keep the pipe line full

 

[captwalt]

6 years, last year I made about 35 gallons. I do a lot of 2-3 gallon batches and a few 5 gallon batches, I try to brew about once a month if circumstances allow. This year I've brewed about 15 gallons already but I slow down in the summer.

 

[TBaGZ]

1 week... 1 batch

 

[fspinale]

I brewed my first batch in 1995 and other than a couple years while i was renovating my house I have been brewing continuously since then. Even after 17 years I still find myself experimenting and learning something new regularly.

 

[Gussymo]

26 years. I currently brew about once a month.

 

[WhineinAlbany]

1 year. I try to make 2 batches a month, but this will increase to 3 now since I just bought another 6.5 gal carboy

 

[HawksBrewer]

4 years. I usually get a chance to brew once every couple months and do two batches at once to maximize time.

 

[CidCitrus]

a little under a year, i've recently been brewing 2 batches a month

 

[ReverseApacheMaster]

Close to three years. Sometimes I brew 2-3 times a month, sometimes I go a month or two without brewing. It depends on my schedule and the weather. I don't have temperature controlled fermentation space so when it's 100F out and my AC is struggling to keep it 78F in the house I try not to brew too much. I might get a Belgian going as long as I have the time to keep a water bath in the mid-60s for a day or two. But I usually have several sour/funky beers or mead going so there's always something in the works. Right now I have seven fermenters working on 13 gallons of beer so lots of small batches and all but one gallon of that is a long term project.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Since 1/08. I haven't brewed since June of last year though. Hope to pull everything out as soon as the basement gets put back together after a flood and remodel in week or two. I don't care to brew when it's cold out.

 

[TheCatman]

About 10 weeks :rockin:

 

[Mungale]

Almost 2 years. 30 batches last year. 10 batches so far this year.

 

[Channel66]

Been brewing for 3 years now, I try to average a batch a week, sometimes more sometimes less.

 

[LKABrewer]

Been brewing almost 4 years now. I brew every other week, usually.

 

[thetragichero]

since new years eve (got a kit for christmas)
so far i have 4 brews in bottles, another 3 in fermenters, and about a million waiting on a fermenter to open up
this weekend i'll start getting the equipment to step up from stovetop boils (3 gallon batches) to outdoor boils on a turkey fryer (5g batches)

 

[Subsailor]

Started in '84 doing a brew a month, gave it up in '95 for few years, did alot of moving around trying to find a place to call home. Started back up again almost 2 years ago, a brew every couple of months, got 3 meads/melomels done, a hard cider and then several sodas for the grandkids.

 

[thepartsmancometh]

Always helped my dad brew when I was growing up (so lets say 1990 - 2001). I started on my own in 2006.

Not sure why, but I waited until I was 21!

I generally brew 10- 12 times per year
