Looks like I brewed 28 batches for about 110 gallons (for my household of 2! ). I'm planning at least one more brewday before 2024
Mostly pale ales and sessions IPAs. I experimented a lot with new hops this year. I think the best beer I made was another version of Shady Boh dark lager.
I added a mash tun and some new recirculation hardware to my equipment and have recently moved away from no chill batches now that the tap water is cold again.
Looking forward to more good beers in 2024!

Fingers crossed man, we are making steps that way. Waiting on getting the power increased and we have an electrician scheduled to build us a new panel. Im just brewing to get ahead right now. Got 4 more brews planned so far for this year, maybe more?Your just getting into your rhythm man.

Yes and no. It does open, but it opens mine, not yours.
Same Josh.
I took a screenshot of mine.

Can’t get it to work. Tired every way I’ve been trying since the update on 2 devices. I’ll keep trying.
Yeah @Pricelessbrewing has thrown a spanner in the works ?

My last one was 61.5% Maris Otter, 13.5% Munich I, 7.7% Chocolate, 3.8% C120, 3.8% White Wheat, 9.6% Flaked Oats, 2oz Fuggle @60, WLP004. I fermented around 67 and it may have been a little cooler on a couple of nights as it was in the winter. Looking back at my notes, I was pretty damn happy with it and the balance.

2 per month, and 14 different styles, that is good production.
Over the past 12 months, I have brewed 16 batches of beer for just under 42 gallons of volume. During that time, my wife and I have started 3 batches of simple cider. Before the year is done, I will definitely brew once more, if not twice. And there is definitely another batch of cider to start in the next few weeks.
It seems like I have brewed more than I actually have, maybe that is because of bottling?
The last four beers in this list are styles that I had never brewed before this year, so I have broadened my horizons. This year I joined a homebrewing club, and in doing so made some new friends, tried some different beers, learned some new stuff, and got to participate in a presentation by Denny Conn. It has been a good year of brewing, and I look forward to more in the new year.

About 8 batches for about 35 gallons. My stout was excellent. Loved my lager, RIP. Checkpoint Charlie Kolsch was solid for a second time. Am getting the styles down, a bit better, hitting my numbers, and have even figured out how to make a tasty NEIPA. Efficiency has improved. Moved from switching ice packs from a freezer to a refrigerated box, lol. A good year. Had one catastrophe - a dumper that wasn't meant to be.
Favorite yeast - 05 and 04 and now 34/70. Hops - Citra and Mosaic, but have been branching out. Liking the barrel brewing - looking forward to another Lambic on fruit in secondary soon. Inspired by Craigerrr, I might not be as proud about all grain, and fill the box now and then with an extract brew or two when I don't want a six hour brew day and heavy lifting.

A very diverse list!
Repeating brews and nailing them is a good way to get consistent great work man!
Crap batches sometimes come along to shake our confidence i use them to focus more a sign that maybe I'm getting slack somewhere in my process.
