Here it is ... already April, which means that the first quarter of 2023 is done. It's time to report on the SheppyBrew Brewing Stats for the quarter.
I keep claiming that I will brew less beer in 2023 than I did last year, but so far I have not slowed down. At all.
Last year, in Q1, I had brewed 5 batches, 30 gallons.
This year so far I've brewed 6 batches for 31 gallons.
- Grumkins and Snarks Oatmeal Stout
- Arctic Vortex Winter Saison
- Doodle Bop Belgium Single
- Mardi Bock
- Dubbel Minor
- No Drums Jack Black Lager
Grumkins and Snarks Oatmeal Stout |
Of this 6 batches, 4 have been new recipes (Grumkins and Snarks Oatmeal Stout, Doodle Bop Belgium Single, Dubbel Minor, No Drums Jack Black Lager)
These were all beers I brewed to increase the number of BJCP Styles that I've brewed.
Arctic Vortex Winter Saison |
I've brewed two lagers (Mardi Bock and No Drums Jack Black Lager) so far this year. Both were Pressure Fermented, which is something I've started playing around with. I expect I'll brew quite a few lagers this year.
Doodle Bop Belgium Single |
All my beers so far this year have been "all grain". I had an issue with my Foundry that I had to fix, and I had a Travel Brew Day (Dubbel Minor), so only 3 of the 6 batches were on my Anvil Foundry so far. Big Brew Day is coming up, which means I probably will use old-school mash tun / propane burner, but other than that, I expect I'll start using the Foundry for the rest of my brews this year.
Mardi Bock |
The SheppyBrew Beer Model helped me brew Dubbel Minor, so I don't have to worry about being illegal when I pass the 100 Gallon mark this year.
In the 2nd Quarter, I expect I'll brew more Pressure Fermented lagers. I also want to mark some more styles off my 2021 BCJP Styles to Brew. As I mentioned, Big Brew Day is coming up, so I'll be traveling to Doc's Brewery to brew something.
Dubbel Minor |
I have not brewed my Spring Seasonal Saison yet, so I'll have to do that soon.
I honestly think I'll brew less this year than last, which means I'll have to slow down eventually, but I guess we'll see if that actually happens.
No Drums Jack Black Lager |
Other than that, you'll just have to stay tuned to see what happens.
