How much do you brew in a year?

[Jester369]

Well, I'm at 45 gallons in 4 months, but I just got a 25 gallon brewpot, so the pace might pick up a bit

Researchers have recently announced a direct link from consuming hops and lowering of cholesterol.

Is this serious because I thought beer increased it!

By that logic, most of us should be cholesterol free!

Well, you can tell any fitness freaks you know that by being a hophead you are "working out".

Seems to be some truth in this. See these:

I started dong this 7 weeks ago. 7 X 5 = 35 gallons. I am planning on buying more buckets and another big pot so I can do 10 gallons@week. Even brewing beer the easy way, I can make better beer than I can buy!

look if we were just drunks we'd drink cheap liquor. Beer is like fine food! it must be consumed in appropriate quantities but can be part of a healthy life. I f#%@n' love beer man and i love brewing. i brew 5 gallons a week so 260 a year.

Very true -- most beer drinkers, those who consume five or more a week, other health issues aside, rarely have heart problems, cholestrol problems and generally do not consume a lot of "sweets."

Oh and I brew about 50 gallons a year, my favorite being raspberry porter (recipe from Austin Home Brew).

Hops are versatile. Organic chicken farmers are using hops as a replacement for the antibiotics chicken factories use. And it's been known for decades that heart problems decrease in the bible belt during the summer, just as beer consumption peaks.

I brew about 12 batches a year, used to be more before I moved to Oregon, but it's all for me now. I may not brew for two months, then do three batches in a row.

Holy Monkey! There's a 200 Gallon limit in AZ? OOPS! I drink more than that....there's no saying how much I brew!

 

[EdWort]

Today makes 60 gallons of beer and 36 gallons of Apfelwein. I don't think the 200 gallon limit will affect me, plus I think the Apfelwein falls into the wine category which is another 200 gallons (that's my story and I'm sticking to it)

In Texas the legal limit is 100 gallons per year per individual living in the house who is 21 or older -- or, in our house we can legally brew up to 200 gallons a year. But think about it --- who's going to tell on you? The supply store where you purchase your supplies? I don't think so!

 

[brewerdave]

30 gal so far this year, but I just started brewing in February. I've been brewing a 5 gal batch every weekend for the past 3, and I can forsee that trend continuing for quite some time!

 

[Ridge Runner]

I'm at 36gal so far this year, my first. If I ever get my Keggle together that # will shoot up pretty quick.

 

[kb9vzh]

So far 45 Gallons since Dec. 07. This don't include the 10 gallons or so in the Mr. Beer Kit.

 

[feedthebear]

I do about 45 - 50 gallons a year. But I don't drink a lot and some of my beers take a long time.

 

[BierMuncher]

Just passed 200 gallons this weekend with my Orange Kolsch.

Guess I’m done for the year.

 

[98EXL]

yeah, I'm sure it's not hard for you to do 20 batches a year huh?

 

[BierMuncher]

I just moved to 10-gallon batches about...12 batches ago so with 5-gallon batches each of the other weekends this year....tis about 26-27 brew sessions.

 

[Ó Flannagáin]

I had to take a 3 month break over the summer..... not by choice, moving overseas, but if I kept the same pace all year that I had going before the summer I'd be really close to hitting 200 gallons this year.... probably will next year.

 

[Reverend JC]

Sitting at 65 gallons year to date. Most likely will be somewhere around 120 for the year, unless i get some new cornies to store the beer in. I refuse to bottle anymore.
