8363.5+10=8373.5
 
8436

+5 dark hefe
+5 belgian blond
+5 north american alt bier
= 8456
 
Question: what do y’all do with all this beer? I drink my fair share, and with re-starting brewing in late may, I have about 25 gallons brewed with 5 batches. I would be doing good to get 100 gallons in a year.
Do you have that many more friends that drink so much??

How does one go through 8,000+ gallons of beer in a year?

This is the total for all brewers posting.

If you want add your 25 to the latest total you too will have the 8K problem.

Well, aren’t I dumb...
I thought people must have way more friends than me to go through that much...
Carry on
 
i get cussed out here too, no worries...angry alcoholics and all that...lol

just brewed my first batch of beer with my new 200ohm resistor modded oven for a kiln...came out light, and hoppy. added gluco, and had to wait till today to get my US-05 yeast but it started bubbling over night, so it's probably going to be 'tart'....but good none the less...

i believe the total would be

8456+10=8466

I don't think anyone is angry in this thread. We correct mistakes when they are made, but it is not out of anger, just a desire to be accurate. And alcoholics go to meetings; i'm a drunk. [emoji4]

Not to feel dumb – I thought the same thing when I started following this thread. You were smart enough to ask the question. I know there are some insanely commited brewers on these sites, but 8,000 gallons?
 
Brewed a week ago today.
5 gallons IIPA
7 gallons Bourbon barrel Porter. It was supposed to be 5 but my borrowed pot didn't boil much off and I over sparged. Added 1lb DME to make up some gravity.

This being the first year with a 4-tap kegerator, my brewing increased exponentially.

I’ll try to remember it all:
10 gallons Flanders Red
10 gallons Cascade IPA
5 gallons Three Floyd’s Zombie Ipa
10 gallons Denny Conns Rye Ipa
5 gallons Yoopers oatmeal stout
10 gallons Vanilla Bourbon Porter
10 gallons NE IPA
5 gallons mango sour
5 gallons Farmhouse Saison
5 gallons Bee Cave house ale
5 Gallons ‘cream of three crops’
5 Gallons Citra Citrus IPA
10 Gallons Dogfishhead 60min clone.

I think that’s all but I could me missing something. Before the end of the year i’ll have an Imperial Porter (fermenting now) and probably another IPA.

Total not including future brews = 8573

i think according to the gov'ment, once you add yeast it's beer. and as far as future brews, this is a running total, i think. the year is still young and i plan on brewing at least 120 gallons more this year! i'm only up to 320 so far and need more beer! kegs ain't going to keep themselves full! lol
 
I thought the federal legal limit was 100 gals per year for an individual and 200 gals per year for a family with 2 or more adults, and states can make lower limits. I recall seeing someone mention their state had a limit on how much you can have on hand.

It is either in someone footnote thing or it was a post but it was something like "you are ok to post whatever you want here, the feds only monitor facebook"

There was a guy in Portland that was running bar type thing in his basement that served homebrew at no charge, but there was a donation jar. He got TV and news coverage which got someone's attention. They closed him down using the 200gal limit.

just added yeast to a brew 20#'s sprouted barley dried then kilned at 150f for 12 hours, and 2oz's dark crystal blend before my oven mod, 1.5oz's jarrylo hops for ~60min, .75oz jarrylo for ~15min
