Brewed this morning and did a little math. The next batch will be number 200 since I restarted brewing 12/04. For 100 it was easy, 1.100, 100 IBU's and of course all Centennials......I'm not sure what I want to do for 200 or if it will even be something special. Won't brew it for a couple weeks though so I can give it some thought. Any ideas?

I don't think I'm even over 20 batches. 200 - holy shite!

Hmm. 200 gallons of 200 IBU beer. Or maybe 2 lbs of Centennials (2 x 100... get it?). Maybe you should just call it Batch 200 and call it a day. How many batches did you brew prior to 12/04? Last Tuesday 2/9 I brewed batch 348. You have a way to go. Enjoy that brewday!

Bicentennial Ale.See if you can dig up a recipe from 1810.

Plenty of recipes have been around since then but I think it might tough to pinpoint when a style/recipe was invented

You know, the first Oktoberfest celebration was in 1810... when beloved Princess Therese married Prince Ludwig in a giant meadow in Bavaria.

Maybe a lager is in order. I've made quite a few Steam beers but haven't used a true lager yeast since the early '80s. Ken, no clue on how many batches I did back then. The records are long gone and it was a 20 year break from brewing.

BREW A LAGER!

I'm making a starter for my o'fest right now. DO EEEETTTT!!!

I have some really old 2308 that's been stored cold. I think I'll smack it at lunch. That would give me almost 2 weeks to build a starter. A Vienna Lager sounds good.

I loved this idea and copycatted you when I did 100, went with an American BW, and did the same specs. So for 200, something to commemorate is a must. You can also play into the volume aspect and brew 200 pints, which would equal about a 24 gallons, so perhaps a double batch?

I hit batch #100 last year, but I'm a little confused as to what exactly counts as one batch. For #98 I did a split batch, 10 gals split into 5 each of American amber and Belgian amber. Does this count as one, or two? I counted it as just one, but.... oh screw it, I'm over-thinking this.

[Thirsty]

but I'm a little confused as to what exactly counts as one batch.

I would venture to say it is all semantics. My opinion would be a batch is any time you produce a certain wort. So if you do a 10 gallon batch, but pitch a different yeast strain into each fermenter, I would call it 1 batch. However if you did a partigyle, and had 2 full fermenters, Then I would consider that being 2 batches. 2 different worts produced. Just my opinion though.

I give permission to count that split batch as 2. Two different beers, two different flavor profiles, two batches.Two it is. What else may I arbitrate for you?

Congratulations on batch 200 After all that beer and no lagers? I'll say lager also. I just went back and counted and I'm planning batch #35 and I've got 1 lager under my belt. Beach

Wow, that was easy. You should consider charging for this service.
