Are you fully stocked for Xmas?

[Mungri]

About the quivalent of 80 500ml bottles. 30 of these will be going to my brothers Christmas day.
Summer Lightning, Nelson Sauvin , B&M IPA with Simcoe & Ahtanum (surprisingly nice), Simcoe& Citra Pale and
22l Mosaic hopped Rye ale just about ready to drink. The Mosaic has only been carbing for 8 days, but I had one last night and it's lovely already.

Wondering where the line between well prepared and alcoholic might sit reading some of these replies! aunsure....

I'm away visiting family this Christmas, will be taking 40 bottles of Guinness clone as a present for my brother, plus 7 bottles of assorted country wines. For myself, I'm down to the last 6 bottles of my second Old Peculiar clone and a full batch of a lemony American pale, only 2 weeks in the bottle.

Tried the first bottle of the pale last night, first sips were incredible, intensely citrusy hop aroma and flavour, but became slightly tiresome further down the glass, should mellow and improve with time.

Nope, I totally dropped the ball this year, most of my stock is earmarked for aging, but I do have a couple of lambic, a dozen dubbles and a couple of imperial stouts. No doubt I'll dust off a cherry wine, peach wine and a bottle of mead too.

I did my first two AG brews last month (only 10l batches), meant to save most of them to condition for xmas but have been "testing" them a bit too regularly so down to the last 8 or 9 bottles already

I've got another batch of the ESB ready to be bottled so that may be ready-ish by new years, but I think I'll have to go get some reserve supplies in from the shop!

I do have a corny-keg shaped present waiting for me though, so need to get another batch on pretty soon to go in that

Merry Christmas!

I have 20 litres of ciders carbing up that might be ready by Christmas, but nothing else.

Some that's nearly ready
A different 5 gallon batch of cider that's resting in the garage
1 x 5 gallon batch of Dunkel HefeWeizen that's getting bottled on Saturday.

Some that is to be brewed over the holidays
1 x 5 gallon batch of Oktoberfest
1 x 5 gallon batch of Black Double IPA
1 x 5 gallon batch of Kolsch

Enjoy your trip North to Skye. Pretty bloody dreich here at the mo !
Got an overnight trip planned to the Coruisk hut planned early new year which will involve a wee dram or two i’m sure.
I have 23l of Hobgoblin clone, TT landlord clone and Exe Valley Autumn Glory all kegged up and doing their thing ready for when I get back from festive travels to Yorkshire and Kent. I ain’t exactly gonna be starved of decent ale in the interim.....

 

[hesstondriver]

just done a stock take - >150 pints plus 30 odd TC's

of which there are 36 of my 'Christmas beer' that I am very nervous about opening after 4 months in the bottle

 

[marshbrewer]

I've got a few bottles of disappointing brown ale, lots of bottles of 'refusing to clear' ESB, and lots of blooming fantastic stout, and this week, a customer gave me these!

Your customer has excellent taste!

 

[Sandimas]

I've got 5 x 32 litre plastic crates that hold about 22 bottles, so that's 110 bottles of various brews. Probably another 20 or so bottles in the beer fridge. Another 17L in the FV that is well past bottling day so may go straight into the keg and carbed up with some Co2. And I bought a few Belgian beers for good measure,

Assuming it's not an old present they gave away because they only drink lager.

 

[marshbrewer]

No, he's just come back from Belgium on a brewery / beer tour and said he'd pick me some beer up whole he was there

You take your glassware on holiday with you?

 

[Duxuk]

92 500ml bottles of pale ale and a nearly full 23l keg. Plus 23l in the FV. I don't drink especially more over Christmas and new year. I just plod along steadily! I'll save a couple of bottles tonight by going to a party on a canal barge. Splice the mainbraceand happy Christmas one and all.

 

[stephen1546]

Got 28 bottles of pinot from a Grundy kit, 10 IPAs... Must be better organised next year..

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Are you fully stocked for Xmas?

I think yes having taken advantage of the local Co-Op store 3 for £5 offer i now have a nice selection to keep me going and many bottles of wine as back up, happy days.

.

 

[-Bezza-]

To be honest, Christmas is more about wine for me. I reckon I have about 175 bottles of non homebrew in stock. Should see me through a weekend of the outlaws.

 

[pvt_ak]

About 4o odd bottles of stuff I’ve saved throughout the year and can’t wait to get stuck into !

Oh , and 22l in the FV for bottling next weekend !

And a few flavoured Gins...

Oh and the WowS of course .

Do I have a problem ... hic !
