This is a noob thing to do so I'll post it here... 100 Gallons!

[dfc]

I have just made my 100th gallon of beer. 20 batches, 100 gallons, almost 1 year. I celebrated by making my Eternal Darkness Imperial Stout. I settled on that name because if I ever start a brewery it will be called Bad Christian Brewing Company.

Ooooooo. Before you know it you'll be bumping up against the maximum legal amount of beer brewed in a year.... 200 gallons!!!!!

So its okay to brew 2,133 beers in a year as long as they are for yourself. Thats basically a six pack per day! Woo hoo!

It looks like your first beer you made was an Oatmeal Stout. Was this extract or AG? I'm just wondering because I haven't taken the leap into AG and I've heard to make a proper oatmeal stout, AG is the way to go. Just hoping you reply with "extract" and that it tasted awesome. Congrats by the way!

Me thinks you are no longer a Noob.

My cousin and brewing buddy made oatmeal stout with extract. Look into a partial mash though. It will get you there

There's an APP for that!

Haha just read your "I smell my airlock". That's hilarious!

I am wondering a few things... 1, what are the punishments for making over 100 gallons a year? And secondly, how would they possibly be able to catch you? Because I started in march and I am already 45 gallons in. I am going to be making a huge 25 gallon batch in the next week or so for my sister to give out at her wedding, which will give me 30 gallons for the rest of the year, since I live by myself. Congrats on hitting your 100 gallons mark!

I've heard the police make you turn in all of your brew equipment and give you a one year supply of Busch light

I have a wife who lives with me so I get 200 gallons per year. I don't know what the penalties are for going over that. I suggest not parading that fact if you go over your limit.
