How much do you brew in a year?

[cormi3r]

I plan on brewing as much as it takes.

 

[z987k]

on pace for 140 gallons.

 

[dblvsn]

With my current setup I've been brewing once a month and doing 5 gallon batches, so that equates to about 50-60 gallons a year. Hopefully I'll be doing 10 gallon batches by mid-summer and that'll double that number. Just have to talk the wife into letting me invest in a few more toys.

 

[98EXL]

10 gallons bottled, 10 gallons in primaries, 10 gallons in secondaries, and I started April 1st.....so who knows

 

[uwmgdman]

Too much, yet not enough! Seriously though, somewhere between 75-100 gallons.

 

[revrand65]

i brew about 200 gallons a year..i'm the only drinker since i have my kegerator locked down really good....hmmm can you say dad loves his beer!!!even got the cholesterol down from 320 to 153...go home brew!

 

[Torchiest]

I brewed 30 gallons in the last three months of last year, and I'm up to 55 gallons so far this year. I guess I'm on pace for about 150 gallons or so. Once I move into a house and get some refrigerators set up, that number could increase. I've got a stockpile of about a dozen cases in my closet that I'm maintaining at a pretty steady level, between brewing, drinking, and giving away.

4 ounces less than the legal limit

 

[ohiobrewtus]

I've brewed 40 gallons since I started a little less than 2 months ago and I'll be brewing 10 more next weekend. I predict that I'll end up at exactly 200 gallons for the year

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

1 drop less than the limit... ;P

 

[EdWort]

Tomorrow makes 35 gallons of beer and 31 gallons of Apfelwein.

I'm guessing the Apfelwein is a different count from beer in allotments.

 

[cclloyd]

My first brewday was 01/27/07 and tomorrow's batch is number 6. Looks like I'm on a 60 - 75 gallon pace... gotta pick it up!

 

[BierMuncher]

Someone asked me that question the other day..."how much have you brewed this year?"

I calculated that I've brewed 105 gallons YTD. Since I just started doing 10-gallon batches, I figure that'll pick up the pace a bit and I guess I'll be around 250 for the year.

Problem is...I only have 45 gallons on hand so....where the F has all that beer gone?

Sometimes it just doesn't pay to do the math.

 

[EdWort]

Hmmm. 60 gallons in 4 1/2 months. That's about 3 gallons a week or 4.5 beers a day. Sounds normal to me.

 

[FlyingHorse]

Brewed 55 gal so far this year (11 x 5-gal). Dumped one of those (a misguided attempt to rescue a Mr Beer Kit that someone gave me 3 years ago).

Got 25 gallons of that on hand still (baby due next month, so I'm the only one drinking the HB so far this year), and my next 8 recipes all lined up. Aiming for 2 brews a month, or 120 gal for the year. May cut that back if we decide to move, though...don't want to worry about moving a bunch of full cornies.

 

[Desert_Sky]

and I guess I'll be around 250 for the year.

no man, you guessed around 199 remember?

because going over 200 breaks some law......

 

[Jaybird]

Jeez, if I'm lucky I'd get 30 gal (5 gal batches) done a year. I just don't have that much time to brew. I think I need a bigger pot!

or just more pot

Are you sure you haven't been using the telphone as a calculator again when you've been drinking?

 

[Drunkensatyr]

Of course I would NEVER go over the 200 gal limit, but lets see, 52 weeks a year, that is 52 saturdays, saturday = 5 gal... i guess I must have mis calculated my sizes. it must only be 3.8461538461538461538461538461538 gal. per batch. Guess the glass carboy shank when I washed it with warm water.

 

[JacktheKnife]

An interesting question,

According to my records I brewed near 300 gallons of ale 2007.
Dern, thats a lot of ale.

Oh yeah, no I didn't, it was only 200.
I am bottling up the last two batches of the season today and tomorrow.
1,000 bottles, was my brewing 'goal' this year.
But I only achieved 500.
The final count was:
{510 + 7-8 in the fridge, I called it a good '500'}

'500', full, washed, green glass,
'Bavarian' beer bottles with Grolsch caps on-em,
all in the same place and at the same time was my brewing achievment for the year.
But with 60 gallon a month capacity,
and brewing for 6 months,
I must have brewed bottled and drank:
3,000 bottles or more!
Dern!
That really seems like a lot of beer.
Hmmmm

But the homebrew hoard is already going down,
and in two months it will be all gone, sniff.

I am however into 'Dundee Honey Brown', and even though it is expensive and not as good as 'Mein Acht Pfund Hammerbier'
it will do, till my birthday in mid- November when I can get to brewing again

Y'all,
bottling is slow
and you need the paitence of a zen monk
to bottle 3,000 bottles of beer.


But then,
you have 3,000 bottles of beer!

Oh yeah.

Well, my name is on my daughters lease at college, so does that get me an extra 100?

 

[Torchiest]

Well, probably SHE brewed those extra 50 gallons, and left them at your place.

 

[Bigfoot]

Im only in my second year but I'm on a pace to brew about 48 gal. this year. I only do small batches so thats about 2 per month. Guess I'm really hooked on this now.

 

[BrewFrick]

I have been doing one 5 gallon batch per weekend since I started brewing in January, that schedule will put me at like 260 gallons by end of year. I doubt that I will keep up the every weekend thing since I will run out of fridge space here in about two batches. I will squeek in at just under the legal 200 for the year I think.

 

[2nd Street Brewery]

Well I've done 9-5gal batches since the begining of the year, but the easy answer is 'not enough'

 

[bull]

im on ten gallons to date,im a newbie ,and ,pulling newbie mistakes ,ouchhhhhhhhhhhh.

 

[Cable Guy]

I've brewed a 5gal batch every Sunday since I've started so I am at 35 gal right now and plan on keeping the Sunday brew tradition.

CHEERS

 

[Whelk]

Since the end of Nov 2006, I've done 8 batches, so that's 40gal. I'm headed to grad school in the UK in mid-September though, so I doubt I'll make it to 100gal. But I'll be relying on all you UK HBTers to help me find a nice LHBS in either Sheffield or Oxford.

 

[Melana]

I'm at 35 gal now... I'm new to the hobby and am already thinking ahead to my next 4 or so batches.

i brew about 200 gallons a year..i'm the only drinker since i have my kegerator locked down really good....hmmm can you say dad loves his beer!!!even got the cholesterol down from 320 to 153...go home brew!
