Q1 of 2021 is already over, which means its time to report our brewing stats for the year so far.
Continuing on the trend from last year, I brewed a ridiculous amount of beer over the first 3 months of the year.
The first quarter of 2020, I brewed 7 whole batches with 35 gallons. In 2021, I brewed even more in Q1 ...
I brewed 8 batches and 42 gallons of beer.

This puts me on pace for another huge year. If I keep up this pace, I'll be over 150 gallons in 2021.
I would say that I'm sure that I'll slow down, but I've been saying that in every on of these Brew Stats posts for over a year, and I have not really slowed down yet.
The 8 beers I brewed in the first quarter were:
- Arctic Vortex Winter Saison
- Stouticus American Stout
- Mardi Bock
- Boo Berry American Wheat
- Quarter Life Crisis Hoppy Red Ale
- Sin Lima Mexican Lager
- Galena Dave's Pale Lager
- Melting Stream Spring Saison
As I mentioned in SheppyBrew 2020 Year-End Brewing Stats, I am planning on concentrating on existing recipes. I have tons of nice beer recipes that I have not brewed in awhile, and I thought it would be fun to make some of those.

So ... none of the recipes I brewed in the first quarter were new recipes. I modified them slightly, but for the most part matched how I made them before.
I also wanted to make more lagers. I made 3 lagers this quarter (Mardi Bock, Sin Lima Mexican Lager,
Galena Dave's Pale Lager). I think this probably puts me on pace to brew more lagers than ever before. Last year, I made 7 lagers, which is probably close to the most I've brewed in a year.

All my brews have been all-grain. And, all of them have been in my new Anvil Foundry.
The SheppyBrew Beer Model helped me brew several batches, so I don't have to worry about being illegal when I go over 100 gallons again this year.

I don't know specifically what will happen in Q2. Of course, I'll brew at least one of my Seasonal Saisons. I also am planning on Updating the Homebrew Colorado 6 pack. I am also planning on doing a travel beer on Big Brew Day.

Other than that, you'll just have to stay tuned to see what happens.
