Did we do this already?  I have one batch in 2020 so I just went back and looked at my brewed batches for 2019... 33 batches.  That's a batch every 11 days or so.  Anyone else got some stats?

not sure on the distribution but I made 10 10 gallon batches = 100 gallons of sweet, sweet brew-ha-ha.

Posted this in the 2019 thread but here we go .. time to hang my head...

 

Looks like my 2019 brewing ended a few months back.  Never got that batch on Sunday but have it planned for new years day.  Not a great brewing year, 6 maybe 7 batches and a few were duds.  The one I liked the best was a no boil extract NEIPA.  Hoping to get back on track in 2020 with at least one batch a month.  Fingers crossed.

Tallied that up a few days ago.  40 ten gallon batches - I didn't think I brewed that much

It's a funny thing and I know we've talked about this:  It takes awhile to make a batch of beer and have it ready to drink when it's in the peak time.  It takes just a couple hours to kill it if you have friends, family or neighbors over.  My three kids all drink my beer now.  I have 9 nieces and nephews and then there are friends/significant others/spouses of those nieces and nephews too.  I have three BILs, a SIL, three sisters, my parents and my wife's parents along with various friends and neighbors.  Killing a 5-gallon keg is easy work when you have people really working on it.  When my oldest son was just home (December 15 thru 30), five kegs went belly-up including TWO that were put on tap while he was here.  I may have had 2 glasses of each of those two kegs.    So I brew on.  I have two beers fermenting now and two more empty kegs sitting in the bunker.  I have an "American Ale" scheduled to brew on Sunday 1/5 and then another batch of "Paulaner Original Munich Lager" sometime next weekend.

holy shit!  I won't drop the dime on you but that's quite a bit.  are you giving a lot of it away?

[Big Nake]

Feck.  I thought my 165 gallons was a big number.  

[Genesee Ted]

About 330 barrels.

About 330 barrels.

So what is that... 10,230 gallons of beer?   NOICE!!

Once batch every 11 days? At 5 gallons a pop, what do you do with all that beer? Especially you guys that keg.

Look at my post #5.  

 

On top of all that, in the summer when an impromptu pool party breaks out, the four kegs I have on tap can be decimated quickly.  This past summer we had 20-25 people over and my kids, nieces and nephews were playing beer pong on the back patio.  Every time I looked up someone was coming from the taps with 2 pitchers of beer.  I don't really consider my beer to be "beer pong" beer but there it was.  I have 10 kegs.  I serve 4 at a time and I have the ability to keep 9 kegs cold at all times (10 in the winter by just putting one in the garage).  That's 50 gallons.

Turns out I didn't.  I thought that seemed high - the recount shows 29

I think I got ~20 batches in.  Between out of town trips and a good 5+ weeks when my brew area (in the garage) was taken up by 4 pallets of flooring, my production was down a bit this year.

 

I intend to correct that in 2020.

145 gallons YTD. 25 brewing sessions. 17 beer styles. 4 10 gallon batches, and 21 5 gallon batches.

So, opening that brewpub soon?

Lol, yeah right. Alot of it was long term projects: a couple traditional lambics, this barrel aged porter I'm running into the ground (10 gallon whiskey barrel,it's starting to get a good kinda funky!) And some water treatment presentions for the brew club. Did a cream ale,which is a style that doesn't lend itself well to local water without treatment: did 5 gallons untreated and 5 treated. That was a fun experiment.

I think I only did 4 batches in 2019. Gotta do better this year.
