How many beers do you have going right now???

Keg 1 : Shiner Bock Clone

Is the Shiner Bock clone a kit or a recipe available somewhere?


Just bottled my first BB Continental Pilsner (that will be more of an ale since the temps were low enough for lagering) and I have a Cream Ale I may bottle next weekend. Need to get to the LHBS and get my next two.

I can't help but be shocked by the amount of beers you guys have going. That's incredible, and I'm jealous. I just brewed my first beer two weeks ago and I'm waiting to bottle them, maybe another week or so. I would like to start brewing more often, so the only equipment I need in order to do this is another primary? I have a 6.5 gallon plastic fermenter. Maybe I will just get another one that way I can have two batches fermenting at once. Also, I am very limited due to lack of bottles. I thought saving up for 50 bottles was tough. You guys must have what, more than 150 bottles saved up lol? And yes, I know I can buy empty bottles, but where's the fun in that? I'd rather drink my way to the finish line.

I apparently don't drink enough beer as compared to you guys. I have 1 in bottle conditioning and 1 in primary. I only decided to do this one in primary because there's a competition coming up and I figured I'd try my hand at it (if it tastes good), and the one that is bottle conditioning doesn't fit with the styles being offered in the competition.

When I used to bottle, I had like 20 cases. Beyond what I drank because I didn't have enough homebrew, I had friends who helped me out. Sometimes on craigslist you can find people giving away cases of bottles if you don't live in an area with bottle deposits. I got sick of bottling though, now its all kegs. I recommend getting a keg setup, even if you can't commit to an expensive setup, a small cheap one is pretty awesome.

Yeah, a second carboy is good. Bucket fermenters are a lot cheaper. If you do go with kegs, you can move beer out of primary a little sooner because the keg is, in a away, a secondary vessel for continued bulk aging/maturing.

I have two going right now. Can't find the time to start the third, partial-mash RyePA, even though I have the space for it and the ingredients already

What does a basic keg setup go for? I am interested in getting into kegging eventually as it appears to be much more convenient. Not sure what I'd need to buy in order to keg. I'll have to look online. Thanks

First post. Glad I stumbled onto the forum. Just bottled an oatmeal raisin stout and a brown porter on Saturday. Planning on getting 2 or 3 more batches started either this weekend or next. A graff and cream ale are for sures but haven't decided on the 3rd yet. I'm open to suggestions

That would be about normal for me too. Right now, I have four in bottles (one of which is still carbonating) and that's it. One of my bottled beers is pushing a year old (it's a strong ale), so that pads my numbers.

10 right now in fermenters. I need to keg and bottle a few of them though. Half of them are ready to go.

6 in kegs.

 

[Hawkeyebrewer10]

I have IPA in secondary and a Nut Brown in primary. I will be making a DIPA in the coming weeks. These are my first three batches and I can't wait to have a couple of homebrews this summer.

 

[BryceL]

I've only got 2 going right now. My IPA is kegged and ready to tap into any day, and my Oktoberfest is going on two weeks in primary. I plan to get an amber ale going in the next week or so, but hope to get a pale going soon also. I plan to let the Oktoberfest go until the late summer/early fall so I need to get some summer brews going!

 

[EarlyBirdBrew]

Just finished up bottling a porter I had sitting on oak cubes. I the AHS 20th ANV Pale Ale fermenting now as well as 5 gallons of Apfelwein. My pipeline is stocked full since I have bottles of Blueberry Chocolate Stout, British Mild, and Piloncillo Brown Ale. Of course that doesn't usually stop me from brewing.

 

[Wakadaka]

Perfect timing most, most I have ever had going at once.

Primary
5 gallon AHS anniversary IPA
5 gallon AHS anniversary Blonde
2.5 gallons of Edwort's Apfelwein

Bottled
5 gallons of AHS Double Chocolate Stout
5 gallons of AHS California Common
2.5 gallons of my first IPA recipe

Coming Soon
5 gallons Hefeweizen (starter)
5 gallons Dunkelweizen

wow, reading these posts, some of you have your major brew on.. 10 beers in fermenters! That is awesome. I might be able to pull of 5 or 6 in the next few weeks.

This really is going to be the summer of beer!

 

[KevinW]

Oh yeah, I just bottled my 1st attempt at a belgian pale, bottled a stout last weekend, have less than a case of my brown (due to comps) and now have 5 empty primaries!

Hmmm, I am thinking I need to brew next week, maybe even this weekend!

 

[Carter1932]

My signature says it all.

Come this weekend I'll have three actively fermenting.

Sure do hate leaving a carboy empty.

If you have space in your fridge, a simple single keg setup could be done for well around/under $50. If you want more kegs on tap at the same time, prices start to add up quick. Try looking for used stuff.

I also have five 1-gallon bottles of apple juice each fermenting with a different yeast strain. For science.

 

[mlg5039]

In the summertime it's hot as hell outside so I try to only brew once a month then and make saisons, or the like since its hot. But Fall/Winter/Spring I usually have two fermenting all the time. It's usually one beer that's ready quickly at a time and maybe one or two bigger beers in secondaries.

 

[mlg5039]

On deck

Oktoberfest

Reminds me, I need to get that going soon.

 

[EO74]

3 kegged 3 in primary, brewing this weekend a terrapin rye clone,i hope one of my kegs kicks soon?It's an ADDICTION my friend!!

 

[JuanKenobi]

My sig's up to date. A couple of those are ready to keg. I've been waiting for come stuff from kegconnetion to refurb my set-up, which came today :rockin: Got a starter going today for an Ordinary Bitter, and have everything for my first Hefe of the year. I'll hopefully be putting in an order to restock ingredients tomorrow. Once May hits, it'll be 1 or less sessions a month for a while, so I gotta get the pipeline to max capacity. Up next are a kolsch, APA, another Bitter (special perhaps), a couple more IPAs, and Enkel (a starter for RIS) and the RIS w/ 3787. Who knows though. I'm sure that'll all change. So long as I've got a stockpile I'm happy.

[drkaeppel]

Bottled:
EdWort's Haus Pale Ale

Primary:
Hefeweizen

Secondary:
Oatmeal stout

The pale ale is going away wayyy too fast. I have two six packs left so I'll probably end up having to buy a couple to hold me over till the hefeweizen is ready.

[mrk305]

I have four primaries full, usually from four to 6 weeks till kegging.

I have four kegs, and one just kicked so I can brew this weekend.

I will eventually get two more kegs, and that will max me out at 10.

I also have a nice stash of 22's for camping trips. About out of 12'rs. Giving away alot since Christmas.
