44,405 + Hmmmbeeer's 10 = 44415

I keep track of my femto brewery using Microsoft Project, and with today being most likely the last brew session of 2011 (and an epic two batch day it was!) decided to review the year to see just what I did.

It came to 34 batches averaging 5.5 gallons for a total of 187 gallons of brew. Mostly IPAs, followed closely by Pales, then Wheats/Wits/Weizens, then Stouts, with some ESBs, Dopplebocks, Porters, Reds and one Marzen thrown in.

Aside from the 11 gallons brewed today, I have six kegs on tap and four more carbing. Guessing the kegs on tap average half filled, that's roughly 61 gallons remaining from that 187 gallons brewed in 2011. Meaning somehow 126 gallons of beer mysteriously disappeared along the way.

The only clue I have is all of my belts seem to have gotten shorter...

Cheers! ;)

44415 + 187 = 44602
 
I brewed 24 gallons of beer plus 2 gallons of apfelwein In 2011. I made 10 different styles of beer.

Last brewday of the year was my first partigyle (5 gallons of Wee Heavy, 5 gallons of 60 shilling), which put my total output for 2011 at 60 gallons.

45,340+60= 45,400
 
125 gallons as 5 gallon batches. I HAVE to do bigger batches. and plus JP171's 50, that brings the total to

45,575 gallons brewed this year.
 
I am brew 10 gallons at a time on my all grain system and year to date is 9 batches but I am going to brew one more this week. That is a total of 100 gallons. My buddy that I brew with brewed 3 times on his 10 gallons system he got in October. We split the beer we make. Each of us takes 5of the 10 gallons back home. So I guess together we brewed 130 gallons.
 
45,705 plus the 4-5 gallon batches i've done since starting = 45,725

my mentor split several 10 gallon batches with me while i was in "training" but I have no idea how many gallons we brewed together!

Love my new hobby!
 
Brewed my first two batches this year - used a darn green garden hose (Doh!) for the water, so they have a distinct aroma, but hey it is still beer (and I know why it didn't turn out right)!

American Hef - 5
American IPA - 5

Total = 45,735
