I posted this on my blog more targeted towards general beer drinkers but wanted to expand on the homebrewing portion with you all:
15 Achievements that Make You an Ultimate Beer Geek
For homebrewing, I wrote of a few possible achievements:
Personally I would like to start entering competitions and winning medals. Not only for the thrill of victory (which would be nice), but because having a beer judge critique your beer is a great way to improve it.
I'm also going to make a serious attempt to brew more styles. Going back through my brewing journal I've noticed my IBUs skewed towards the high end. oops!
Do you have any goals with homebrewing? Are you happy just brewing great beer and doing it as long as you enjoy it, or do you have more specific goals?

For homebrewing, I wrote of a few possible achievements:
1. Earn a medal at a competition and eventually medal at the National Homebrew Competition
2. Brew every style in the BJCP Guidelines, using the book Brewing Classic Styles for recipes if you need them
3. Graduate from the Siebel Institutes Advanced Homebrewing Program
4. How many batches can you make in a year? Can you reach the federal limitation of 100 gallons?
5. Quit homebrewing and become a professional ; )
