Hilltop hops Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Happy new years all. Just looking back at 2019 I put down 15 brews total. 2 kits, 3 FWKS and 10 AG consisting of 1 wheat beer 1 raspberry wheat 8 pales 1 stout 4 IPA How'd everyone else go for 2019? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Last year would have been my lowest output since I started brewing just over 10 years ago. I think I only made 4 AG brews but did a handful of FWKs to keep supplies up. Next year the plan is to do one per month as a minimum. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) 24 brews for me. Though I think it was more, there was a few I didn’t keep a record of. And most were 19ltr batches instead of the 25Ltr batches I brewed the year before. half were pale ales, 8 stouts and the rest IPAs oh and a hibiscus beer Edited December 31, 2019 by The Captain!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I did OK I reckon - I only started in Sept (16th I think 1st one went in FV) and just bottled number 6 brew. All K&K. Start playing with grains next year. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yab Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Didn't keep record, but I think about 7 or 8, all k&k. Toucan stout and one based on the bookmaker can were the highlights. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_G Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 24 brews for me as well. Mostly K&K with hop and some adjunct additions also a couple of partials. Was a big year though. Last year was the 1st year brewing for about 25 years and went from having 300 stubbs and 300 tallies to a kegorator that I made and 6 kegs. Yesterday I put down my last Kit brew and my 1st for 2020 will be an AG in the BIAB set up I bought. Not sure what will happen next year as not much further to go is there? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red devil 44 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Dunno, didn’t keep count, but I would say 25-30 K& K brews, mainly Stone & Wood Clones, Hefeweizen ( now with Citrus Hops ), and mainly Pale Ales. Still thinking about going AG next yr, but I’m pretty happy with my K & K brews and fermenting under stabilised temp with the Inkbird 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmar92 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 10, restarted brewing August 2019. All KnK's with some partial mashing and a lot of dry hopping. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Baron Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Only 9 AG brews this year. I usually brew once a month but this year has been a quiet one. My target will be 12 in 2020. BB1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Probably somewhere around 20-25. There was a bit of an increase in the last couple of months due to getting a second fermenter. Might try to keep a better record this year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSands Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 How many brew days in 2019? I have no idea really ... Probably 30 - 35 I'd say. When I had an extra house guest I was brewing every week, but otherwise I'm usually doing at least 2 batches per month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozlizard Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Only started brewing in May, so only 8 for the year. Coopers Pale Ale-First brew, not bad. NEIPA #1-Bloody beautiful Saison-Interesting. Well I drank it all. NEIPA #2-Started off with an odd taste but came good, nearly better than the first one in the end. Styrian Pale Ale-Drinkable but not my favourite. NEIPA #3-Here is where the wheels fell off. Had to tip the whole lot. I nearly cried. Coopers Session Ale-Was bloody good until it also started to develop an off taste, but only about a third of the bottles. Ginger beer-In the bottle so have no idea how it's going. (oh and in between those I brewed up 10 various wines) Conclusion. It has been a great introduction to home brewing and I am slowly getting there. Need some cooling apparatus. I thought that my problem beers might have been victims of oxidation but now I don't think so (thanks Kelsey). The most likely culprit is infections so I will change my sanitiser and see if that helps (currently using Morgans Sanitize). I think my procedures are ok but might have to pay more attention to bottle cleaning and sanitising. Can't really think what else it would be. Finally a big thank you to all the help from you guys and gals! Happy brewing in 2020! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captain!! Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I’ve been waiting for Ben’s response to this thread. That’s pretty impressive. But knew he’d smash it out the park. Even with the two months off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 CLEARLY I have some issues that might need to be addressed one day. **Excessive alcohol consumption is bad for your health, however it depends on what we mean by excessive. I'd also suggest it helps with other things, I guess the hard thing is the cost benefit analysis. I benefit from the social interaction here, the recipe creativity and also, quite clearly, the alcohol** 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristinaS1 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) 17 for me: 2 stouts, 7 American Pale Ales, 6 English Bitters, 1 Oktoberfest, 1 Blonde. Unfortunately I had to tip two of them, so 15 really. Since I switched to kegs in August I am not brewing as often, which is somewhat unexpected. I guess it is because I am can pour myself smaller servings, instead of having to drink a whole bottle. I picked up a 6 ounce (177.5mL) sampling glass at a beer festival, which I have been using. I would have to visit the keg three times to get as much as one of my Grolsch bottles holds. I usually can't be bothered to go back a third time, so I am drinking about 20% less. Cheers, Christina.
