Yep, all grain. I brewed three batches that weekend. You know, start the new year right.
2 batches in one day isn’t to bad on the weekend day. I find brewing a single batch after work on a week night to be much more work, due to the time constraints.
Mostly 5 gallons and all grain.
My son, Nicholas was born just before #8 (hence the name, I call him Nikko and he’s quite wobbly) so I’m actually shocked to see I’ve been able to get this many beers in since his birth. But things have been slowing down. I expect to get somewhere around 25 brews in this year. Far more than I had thought considering the new addition to the family and how much time he steals from the rest of my life. Which is just fine by me!
Some of the batches were done for a friend and several of the 10 gallon batches were split between us. Just used generic names rather than the arbitrary name I often give them but only a batch or two were repeats of the same recipes, several were fairly close but I was playing with subtle changes to grain bill, hops and/or yeast.

Our brewing tastes are eerily similar. A lot of our brews are the same and the ones not on my list (ESB, Rye IPA, etc) I brewed near the end of last year. Great minds think alike.

When are you making the jump? You don’t find extract a little boring?
I’m pretty happy that I’ve been able to keep to a 1 brew a month average. I’m even happier that most of them have been recipes I’ve designed myself, and that they’ve come out pretty decent.
I think I’ll be branching out into Belgian territory next. I have a Dubbel, a Tripel and a hoppy, dark Brett-Saison planned, but I haven’t decided which will come first. I also want to brew some mini (1-gallon) batches of single-hop Pale Ales with all the hop varieties I have on hand to really nail down the flavor profile of each for future recipe design. And in the fall, I’m thinking an oaked hop-bomb IIPA.
So far I’ve only brewed good beer :lol:

To be honest, I am more into the other aspects of brewing rather than the actual brewing itself; Yeast, ferm temps, and just stepped up to kegging. We’ve done a partial mash with Ken’s HR Red Lager that was fun but if we go full AG, we’d only brew once every 2 weeks. I’m not cool with that
