How much did you brew in 2024

41 batches this year but we'll probably brew 2-3 more times this month. We tried to scale it back a little this year, last year was 58 batches
I need to get rich, retire, and buy more toys so I can do that at home LOL. Working does get in the way of making beer sometimes:)
 
I was only able to brew 7 times this year with one more planned before the end of the year. I'm kegging now so my batches have been limited to 5 gallon into kegs but a couple (Josh's "Smidicks") have been 7.5 gallon batches that I split amongst 2 kegs.

One...

One 5 gallon batch, it's actually waiting to be bottled right now. Got my brewery setup but home ownership has been eating up most of my free time. Got 3 current indoor projects and then a major outdoor one I'll probably have to take care of after that. Then there's the kids. Just signed the 5 year old up for a learn-to-skate program at the nearby rink and while we're excited for that it's going to eat up many of my Friday nights for the first couple months of 2025. So I'd like to think 2025 will be a bigger year but probably won't make it out of the low single digits

"Saison Amber Light". That sounds interesting, especially at that alcohol level. There is a place down south in Jupiter that makes "Monk in the Trunk". I wonder if it is like that?
 
I started brewing again in June, but this is my first time doing all-grain. Since then, I have brewed 2 all-grain batches and 1 extract kit. I will also brew a new version of my IPA before the New Year. So a total of 4 brews! Looking forward to brewing more and learning from this site in 2025. Thanks for the help, everyone!
