.5 gallons less of what ever the government limit is.
Actually about 120 gallon's or so. Get invited to way to many parties and it's always gone.
 
70 gallons since February 2010. All 5 gallon batches.

You have to add this to the total. Ill do it for you, and add my 10 gallons of Munich Helles from last night.

Cheers!

Solaris79's 70gal + my 10 gallon + 34,023 = 34,103

Can somebody please brew 2 gallons to make it end in a multiple of 5?
 
I started on Aug.27 this year. Looks like I'll end the year having brewed Oktoberfest, KC Pale Ale, ESB, Bavarian Dunkel, Doppelbock, Saison, and Phat Tyre; 5 gal batches each, for a total of 35 gallons for me (good lord; what does that extrapolate to for next year?)

So grand total would now be 34,225 + my 35 gallons = 34,260
 
think i'm done for the year - unfortunately not going to be much time the next few weeks, for obvious reasons.

37 gal this year for me!

total = 34308
 
I have brewed 10 gal. Amber Ale, 10 of Stout, 10 of another version of Amber Ale, 10 of a Blue Moon clone, and 10 of an American Brown Ale. The last two are still in primary and secondarys. 50 gal. in all.

That makes the total = 34,393

Sooo what are ya? A Brewaholic? You are brewing 2 out of every 3 weeks, you, must have a ton of 5 gal containers, as you have several batches in primaries and secondaries at any one time. More power to ya! Keep it up. You must have parties all the time.
 
I often brew 2 batches in a a day or two consecutive days. I have something like 7 6.5 gal, 3 3 gal and 10 1 gal fermenters and a few 5 gal corny kegs. This was my first year brewing just picked up my brew pot in Jan and went nuts. Every one seems to love it so it goes quick. But my wife wants me to chill out a bit because it is starting to take over, but I just make her more sketter pee to keep her happy.
 
Some one was talking about it and directed me to this site Skeeterpee.com where i got the recipe. I made it for my wife and she really liked it, and so does everyone else. they drank 5 gal in two weeks and wanted more which takes 6 weeks so I made 2 more batches and one every two weeks now until i get ahead of them if that is possible.(i think i need to make more) It is more like a lemon wine but it tastes like lemon aid so it goes easy. I changed it a little by adding 10# sugar and pitch double the yeast and it was even better and stronger so it can be dangerous, probably would be banned like fourloko.
 
I have been experimenting with some other strains but the first couple batches were Red Star Premier Cuvee. i have one kegged and and ready with Red star champagne yeast but i have not tried it yet. i started out using sugar to back sweeten it but have been using splenda since my third batch. I have not made grape wine so i have not had a slurry to try and that is another reason I rehydrate 2 packs with the energizer before pitching. my first batch I could smell a slight hint of sulfur which no one else noticed but now using this method I cant detect any now.
 
You folks form California think you can show up and have a little chit chat anywhere you want huh? Not on my clock by golly! HERMS? Do a search!

Welcome to the forums! :mug:
 
Actually I have. Seems like a lot of trouble to go through.

I completely agree.

It seems like way too much trouble to avoid an extremely difficult flaw. "Scorching" that is. Keep the heat down with your RIMS system, and problem solved. Infact, during some testing, I ran wort through huge temperature swings at low flow rates and had no change in color or taste in the beer. This was with a 70k Btu burner and a Blichmann kettle. I think you have to try to scorch beer to succeed.

Never had a problem with scorching since I got my double wall steamer kettle. Practically don't have to stir. I thought the HERMS though was more about the mash. Something mostly you would use to control a step infusion process easier.

Never mind all of that, I guess I've taken the topic off course, sorry. I'll butt out.
 
I just stated brewing in september and so far I have made:

5G what I call Ridgecrest Crud (My first try)
3g Mr. Beer wheat ale
5g Procrastinator Bock (Which end up being 4G lesson learned about evaporation)
5G Strawberry Blond
5G German Pilsner
5G Pumpkin Ale

Not a bad start for only brewing for 3 months. 2011 will be a good year.:ban:
 
5G Hellgate Porter
10G Cascade Steam
10G Graff Cider
5G Deception Stout
1G J.A.O.M.
