How many batches of home brew do you have under your belt

[scottedk]

Brewed batch #4 just tonight.

 

[brewmaster89]

Just 1 so far, batch number 2 will be this weekend and then 3 hopefully 3 weeks after that.

 

[Cpt_Kirks]

I'll have to check my log book, but I think I passed 70 a few batches ago.

 

[AngerManagement]

7 batches, 35 gal, with my first 10-gal batch planned for this weekend.

 

[Camride]

Started in January and I've got my 3rd batch fermenting now. I'm keeping all my notes in One Note so I'll be able to keep track of anything without worrying about paper.

 

[brandonhagen1]

[Doed]

15 batches

 

[justabrewin]

[Golddiggie]

No idea...I originally used a hand-written journal and there are 14 brews in that. I switched to tracking it on my laptop in 2009. Unfortunately, about 4 months ago my harddrive crashed and was deemed unrecoverable by my local computer repair shop. Since then I've been tracking on my iPad and I have 12 brews in there.

What I'm really upset about losing my harddrive was all of the recipe development I did...I'm mad just thinking about it...I should really just go back to the journal

 

[BasementBrewmistress]

19 brews in 6 months. I think 3 of those were small batches though.

Good suggestion on the paper backup. I'd be PO'd if I lost my spreadsheet or BeerSmith.

 

[wells11]

20 Beers and about 15 wines.

 

[DonutMuncher]

6. Five of those were Mr. Beers though, which I think is only worth partial credit.

 

[beerhound28]

about 100 gallons

No, what you need to do is consider how to back up your data. Two things that are certain: 1) EVERYTHIING is digital nowadays, and 2) Hard drives will eventually fail.

Digital records are far better than paper ones for many reasons, but you must have a solid backup plan. (my paper brewing records are long gone, eaten by bugs - literally)

 

[MikeWI]

7 batches in 3 months. I'm averaging one about every 2 weeks since I just have 2 fermenters. I'm going to slow down over the summer since my beer reserve is high and I'll be doing other outdoorsy stuff (gardening, travel, etc).

First and last batches were kits (Brewers Best Cream Ale and Northern Brewers Caribou Slobber) and the others I put together with BeerSmith and by looking at other people's recipes.

i've been brewing regular for 16 years. i have no idea. some winters i brew a lot (this winter i think about 180 gallons- but i filled a barrel), some just 8 or nine beers. i hardly ever brew in the summer- it could be deeper than logistics, but something in me just doesn't feel like cooking when it's hot out. i took like a two year hiatus when i restored a bungalow in 2000- 2002, and had no kitchen. maybe 150 - 200 batches?

39 batches since March 2010. I use Google docs as a brewing log, access anywhere, even from phone, won't lose my data, and I usually start a new one each year, as the old one starts to get too long

 

[jhorgan1]

I'll be brewing up batch #9 friday for my 5 gal series and I've "brewed" about 7 or 8 Mr. Beer kits. Still no AG yet although my friday batch is a 11.5lb grain mash with 2lbs of DME. Barely a PM haha

 

[SkiSoloII]

Filled up a steno pad. Then got lazy. Just started doing the recipe development on the computer. Not really comparing old to new. I just save each recipe as I make it, and write a new one, even if I rebrew. That way, I have a date record of the last edit. I do mostly 11-12 gallon batches now. Probably 140+ batches. Not sure how many gallons over time.

[bbrim]

I think I'm between 70 and 80. Time sure does fly.

 

[two_one_seven]

I started in 1996 and stopped in 2002 ish. I was a pretty heavy brewer probably 20-25 batches a year.

I just started again at the middle of January and have 6 batches bottled or in progress so far this year. Doing AG this days but was an extract guy in the 90's.

If I had to guess it would be somewhere in the low 100's.
