Just hit 50 gal/ 10 brews this year. (Slacking - 2020 lockdown was very very good to me…)
With luck, I‘m going to try to sneak in another brew on this week!

Got it! Experimenting with Dark Candi syrup and Imperial Napoleon B64 yeast.

9066
+ 5.5 gal Saison Noir
9071.5

9071.5
+ 170.5 gal
9242
 
9242 + 6.5 gallons AK bitter with Manchester yeast

=9248.5

Can we make 10K this year? Still one more brewing day left. I've got a Beamish Stout on deck, so the rest of youse need to stand up as well.
 
I was going to update but am now thoroughly confused about the correct totals. Why are homebrewers so bad at basic math? 😂
If anyone wants to figure it out, my final entry for the year:
5 gallons of Roggenbier
 
well, i purpose a challenge to see who gets yeast into wort first next year/tomorrow....i racked up 3 pages of posts in this thread this year!
 
Well, it's been an eventful 2021 here, and not conducive for any personal production records.

I managed to crank out 90 gallons of home brew - before I injured my lumbar spine two days before Memorial Day in a stupid lift-and-twist move that I should have known better to attempt. Was 100% laid up until the S1-L5-L4 spinal fusion operation in late October (which from all appearances came out well) but I'm not allowed to lift more than 25 pounds for many months which pretty much rules out brewing :)

Anyway...

9382.5 + 90 = 9472.5

Cheers!
 
@day_trippr, sorry to hear about your misfortune but glad to hear the surgery went well. Hope all goes well with your rehab and you get back to brewing soon. Somewhere on HBT is the bad back brewers thread, seems to be quite a few of us.
 
So if I would of waited until after midnight to pitch the yeast would of that counted?

9472.5 + 4gal of Best Bitter = 9476.5


by the gov'ment it would, lol....i don't know about HBT logic....wait a second....there's a post missing? what happened to the guy in georgia that said he pitched at 12:10am?

edit: sorry if that's a reply to a snarky comment i made..... 🤞
 
My first year as a home brewer: I made at least 80 gallons. I say at least because the recipes called for 5 gallons but I often got 6-7. Boil off isn’t great with Brewzilla.

I just keep an extra few pounds of DME on hand, so an extra 1-2 gallons becomes a good problem to have, whether just a bigger batch or partigyle a second batch.

Going to add 80gal to the group total 9476.5 + 80 = 9556.5
We’ll, this was my first year of home brewing. I started with my first batch last March. In total, I brewed 47 gallons in 2021.

9556.5 + 47 = 9603.5
 
Add another 10 gallons for 2021
--- Five gallons Irish Red Ale in August
--- Five gallons IPA in October
Group total 9,613.5
 
Had to look back at BeerSmith - easy to find since I name my beers YYYY-MM-DD - Beer Name. I try to avoid brewing in the summer - nailed it in 2021:

January 6 - Double IPA
February 23 - Oatmeal Stout
March 31 - Irish Red Ale (my 10th brewing anniversary beer)
September 6 - Golden Ale
October 20 - American Strong Ale
December 30 - Scottish Ale

9,613.5 + 30 = 9,643.5 gallons
 
9,613.5 plus

3.5 gallons Helles
5 gallons American Pale Ale

= 9,622 gallons

(edit to remove 2022 brew)

should be 9622 + 30 - 9652
 
Barrel Aged Belgian Quad
Triticale IPA with Columbus, centennial, and simcoe hops
Voss Kveik with simcoe/Amarillo
French Saison
Belgian triple

9652+25=9677

a few years back the total was around 30K, close 1000 barrels of beers. I wonder how many days it takes the commercial guys to dump 1000 barrels down the drain.
 
Got back to the farm today so I could add up everything in my brewing log. I had 30 brew days in ‘21, totaling 136.5 gallons.
APA-20 gal
Brown Ale-4 gal
Weissbier-10 gal
Golden Ale-4 gal
Altbier-16 gal
Cream Ale-10 gal
Blonde Ale-17.5 gal
American Wheat Ale-2.5 gal
American Lager-10 gal
Hazy Ale-10 gal
Spiced Bourbon Stout-10 gal
Mosaic SMaSH-5 gal
California Common-2.5 gal
Citra SMaSH-2.5 gal
Robust Porter-5 gal
American IPA-7.5 gal

9732+136.5=9868.5
Edit-missed a 2.5 gal batch of Altbier at the city house. 136.5 gal in 30 brew days is correct.
