45 Gallons 2016

Edit 9/12/2017 to add: [/b] Updated to reflect current standings. I've just about closed the gap from last year's pace!

Just did my 6th 5G batch (well, toss in a few 6&7 gallon batches there, don't really do JUST 5 gallons batches anymore). Just bottled my JJ Nong. Made another batch using Buddha Hand. Gives it a nice twist.

not as much as I want...I need more drinkin' buddies in Te-jas!!!
4 gallons of Jet Setter APA
5 gallons Stupid Easy Cider
4 gallons classic Hefeweizen
4 gallons Dunkelweizen
running total: 17 gallons
soon to be 4 gallons of an IPA (brewing within the next few days)

Last night I fired up Beer Smith to plan today's brew and I saw that I had not brewed since October 2016. That is a new record (in a bad way) by far. How pitfull? Five and a half months into 2017 before I even make the scoreboard.

At home, maybe 15 or 20 gallons.

At work, about 120 bbls....

So far only 5 batches and the year is half over. Grandkids and work are taking more time, but the biggest factor for me is the explosion of great local craft breweries. When I started, I could confidently state that my beer was better than anything I could buy. Now there are numerous local brewers who make better products than I can. I still enjoy brewing, but I find myself drinking 60% local brews and 40% mine. It used to be 90% mine and 10% others.

10/29 2 Gallons Pale Ale
11/7 6 Gallons Irish Stout
11/14 2 Gallons Baltic Porter
12/24 6 Gallons American Porter

I'm breaking the rules of the initial post to post my final total here since this thread will likely die off and be replaced by a 2018 version soon.
I ended up 8.5 gallons shy of 2016's production and I think the main causes were:
- So many great beers made available to me this past year that I drank more commercial than previous years
- Inkleg got me into roasting coffee so that took up more time that I could have used for brewing

Overall, I'm not complaining as it was a good beer year in terms of both homebrew and commercial. I've maintained my health, weight and ability to stop drinking when I want to - I just don't want to (you knew that was coming!).

Cheers.
