How Much Did You Brew 2012?

[JDW81]

Nothing like some on here.

A mere 240 litres.

A quite year for me too. Only got to about 130L due to study getting in the way, barely enough to keep up with my megre drinking habits.

Hopefully I can be a little more productive this year. Already got a few batches planned for the coming month.

A mere 240 litres.

240/ 365days= Less than a long neck per day.

My visits must make a bit of a dent in the supply. It's a good thing I've started brewing my own now.

I must get the recipe for that 2 year old dark Belgian. Mmmm, I can still taste it. 240ltrs of that would equate to a massive output and subsequent alcoholism.
Quality over quantity and all that.

I was out of action for a while with the shoulder surgery, and I lost one batch due to infection.

Elsie seems to be a very good assistant. The pug must be the trick .
Sorry to go off topic.

Do these posted figures equate to actual bottling/kegging volumes? If you can't drink it, it aint beer right?

Yeah, the measurements are actuals. Except for the BeerSmith guestimated colour.

 

[yankinoz]

About 150L and my 2013 resolution calls for 250.

 

[Wolfman]

56 batches mixed between 23 and 25 litre batches.

 

[rotten]

I brewed 26 X 40 ltr batches and it's all gone. That's 1040 ltrs or 2.8 ltrs a day. :chug:

 

[sponge]

514L

Better than I anticipated..

 

[stux]

1 double batch, and 6 triple batches... 400L total.

Bit down on last year


At the end of last year I managed to maintain beer supply by switching to doubles... but I was still brewing for supply rather than pleasure. This year I started brewing triples and managed to actually build up enough beer to make it into party season with a near full keg fleet (10 x 19L)!!

Just cleaned out 3 kegs in the last few days, so its time to do another batch

 

[kenlock]

380L from 12 batches (mixer of 21s and 42s)

2013 - more brewing, more variety, more styles

:icon_cheers:

 

[fletcher]

62 litres for me. yay!

 

[Aces High]

Just a touch over 800L. Not bad for my first full year of all grain brewing

 

[adryargument]

Not sure, will check when i get back to NSW.

Will estimate around 1200+

 

[Bizier]

At a quick look, somewhere around 300L. I would like this year to be higher. My brew gear is lying fallow and festy. T'was the season.

 

[Batz]

100lts up for 2013 as of today,come on possums get out there and brew!

 

[Thefatdoghead]

1.5m3 is pretty close to what I brewed. Usually get in 4 x 50L batches when im home from work and iv'e had a few good parties etc where all my beer got drank, so had to brew a little more than usual.

 

[warra48]

Not sure, will check when i get back to NSW.

Will estimate around 1200+

About 3.3 litres a day.

Who drinks all that beer? I'm impressed, but I'm not sure about your liver.

 

[breakbeer]

Spent most of last year building my brew rig, so not that much

About 200L, or 220L if you count the Corona that's lagering at the moment

 

[jayahhdee]

roughly 300L over the course of the year.

Most of that was BIAG, the last 35L was the first 2 runs (23L and 12L) on my new 3V HERMS, planning on doing a lot more through that this year
