It is already April. The first quarter of 2026 is done. Time to report on the Q1 SheppyBrew Brewing stats.
Both last year and 2024 yielded 95 gallons of beer, which is lower than any year since 2016.
If the first 3 months are an indication, 2026 will be an even less volume. Significantly less. As I type this, I'm tracking to less than 60 gallons for the year, which would be the least amount of beer brewed EVER!
I'm not sure if the brewing will pick up this year or not. I guess we'll see.
So far in 2026, I've brewed 3 batches of beer.
This 3 batches of beer totaled 15 gallons. I'm not sure when I've brewed only 3 batches of beer in 3 months. It may have occurred, but I don't think it has ever happened.

| Hop-cember Pale Lager |
Only Mud Blood helped with the BJCP goal. If I'm counting correctly, I've now brewed 91 of the 108 styles.

| "Whisper of the Tengu" Rice Lager |
All 3 batches are lagers. It wasn't until June last year I that brewed my first lager of 2025, so it looks like I'll pass the 5 lagers brewed last year.
All the beers in Q1 have been "All Grain" brewed in my Anvil Foundry. The Beer Model has not helped brew any of them. Not that it matters if I don't increase my rate of brewing significantly.

I can't think of anything else to report, so I'll finish up this post.
