Usually 10 gallons a month missing out a couple of months when I have no time to brew. Fit in a few extra 5 gallon brews now and again, which tend to be stronger beers to put away to mature. Always seem to to get plenty of willing helpers to drink it all.

In a normal year I brew 8-12 times a year, not a big drinker but I want good quality beer.
Unfortunately this is not a normal year, got laid off in october. I've brewed once so far this year with plans to visit the LHBS in the next week or two.
I'm just here for the beer.

I try to brew every other weekend but often miss a few due to work etc. Not going to be brewing for the next few weeks as I need to build a fermenting fridge as it is now far to hot to ferment in my house.

I drink 75% myself and the missus has the lions share of the remaining 25%; fortunately she loves real ale! :D
If I had all the money I'd spent on brewing... I'd spend it on brewing!

Probably about 12 a year, but more concentrated between Sepetember and April - normally get a 25kg sack of MO in the Autumn, which keeps me going in base malt for the "brewing season" :D

Rest of the yesr spent gardening and sitting in the Sun drinking all that hard work 8)

Just over 5000 pints last year :shock:

























But 16BBL of that was in one go :D (2BBL of a 1.104 Barley wine and 14BBL of 1.058 Simmonds Bitter) . . . The rest was for me, but With the pico plant producing 18 gallons at full capacity I give some away . . . Or tip it down the drain when it goes past its best. . .. Hence the Reason for the 20L femto plant . . . more smaller brews
