Title: How many brews?
Post by: JDC on November 18, 2017, 02:32:12 PM
Just on my seventh brew of 2017, which I was surprised at. I would normally average about 12 per annum. Just wondering where that falls as an average here, as I'm guessing some of you do a hell of a lot?

My issue is that I can currently only ferment one at a time (with temperature control).

I have a Grainfather and a Grainbrother so i can do 2 beers in under 6 hours. This year my brewing has been sporadic but i think i've had about 10 brew sessions this year  :D

My kettle was out of commission for a good while but I've picked back up, just done my 11th today.

12 brews this year. I think i'll get another 2 in on Christmas week for the Nationals. So a total of 14 for the year.

Ah, I don't feel too bad so.  Time is tight, but hoping to get another 2 in myself before the year is out which will take me to 9.  Would love the option of a double brewday, but don't want to go back to the uncontrolled temperature days where fermentation is concerned.

18 so far. Will finish the year hopefully on 20/21. I was aiming for 24 total but I had to stop for 6/7 weeks when my daughter was born.

How big are your batches? That's a lot of brews!

Have done 23 batches myself. 3 dumpers, 3 brewed to be aged, 1 for a barrel project, 4 currently in kegs conditioning or serving, 12 all drank and another 3 brews planned for the rest of the year! All batches 20L apart from one 10L batch. This year was more than double last year and that's all down to kegging

A cornie fill per brew. I'm trying to brew twice a month as a goal.

I started kit brewing in May and have number 7 in the fermentor. Just ordered a grandfather so I'm hoping to brew more next year.
