My supply of homebrew is getting awfully low. I took about a month and a half off during the summer. Too hot to brew, I was getting burnt out, and I had to co-ordinate brewing with vacation time.
I might have gotten through this with no problem, but the first weekend of September, I entered a barbecue competition with my brother, our nephew, and a couple of his friends. And how could I present myself properly at a BBQ comp without supplying some homebrew? So I took a real hit that weekend.
I've got a couple of LBK batches conditioning right now, but I'm just hoping my supply of drinkable homebrew holds out.
Of course, worst-case scenario is I go out and buy some craft brews.....

Re: Pipeline at critical mass!
Get it going Dave! Fall is here and it's the perfect time.
I too am trying to keep up since I had to dump a batch or two so I'm taking one for the team and brewing every few weeks. The collaboration should help get you started.

I am sorry about the pipeline though.

Re: Pipeline at critical mass!
I am in the same place as you Daveor maybe even wosre. I havent brewed since late may and the pipeline that was quite nice then has dwindled down to 2 cases and have my first brew starting this weekend. Luckily it is a wheat and will be done quickly.
Re: Pipeline at critical mass!
Bummer about the pipeline.
Develop a taste for Saisons and you can brew even when it's 90!
That's the only reason mine is doing well. Saisons when it's 80+ and Belgians when it's 75ish... all summer, all I've done.
Now it's cooling off so it's other style time yeah!

Re: Pipeline at critical mass!
I've been brewing every weekend since Labor Day, and it feels as though I've got a lot, because of that volume. Also, two of those batches are fivers, so that adds to it. But one is a pilsner, so it won't be ready for a while, and there's more fermenting than there is conditioning, and about as much conditioning as there is that's drinkable. I'll feel much better when I get a case up from the basement. That'll mean production is moving along as it should, and I'll be restocked pretty quickly.
