[marengo]

[Wezzel]

I've been meaning to add my years brewing to this thread and just realised I haven't got much time left!

10 gallons of London Pride
10 gallons of Golden Glory
5 Gallons of Summer Lightening
10 gallons of general bog-standard bitter

Forum Total so Far = 6980.5 Gallons

 

[Wezzel]

Marengo.

I think you must have been drinking when you added up the totals (unless you really did brew an additional 1000 gals) :drink:

 

[marengo]

You are quite right! I just realised that myself! (and yes I am drinking......)

If I had brewed another 1000 gallons I would be well pickled ! :lol:

Having said that, unless my maths are wrong again we should be on 6970.5 G....? But feel free to correct before I slide under the table......

My apologies for throwing all the calcs off. hic!

It wouldn't be right for anyone else to open the 2013 thread so whenever you get a chance Rob, there's brewing happening today!!

That's an amazing total!

By using this page you can work out the duty that's been 'avoided' by home brewing!

I split the numbers into 4000 gallons of beer and 2724 of wine (haven't added up the totals in the thread, just guesstimated) and using the default settings of £2.95 a pint and £4.99 a bottle of wine the forum has avoided £737,152 of beer tax and £1,631,188 of wine tax!

Those numbers are so staggering that I don't know if I've made a mistake somewhere. Maybe someone who is more mathematically minded wants to work it out?

Maybe we're the reason the country is still in recession!! :lol:

Hi Bursar, doesn't this website take your weekly intake and give out the tax for the year or am I miss reading it?

 

[robsan77]

I haven't added.for a while so we can put on another 40 for me

Total, I think = 7234.5

This thread was for 2012 - all homebrew was counted, beer, wine and cider.

Maybe this thread should be closed?
There are new threads for 2013.

By my maths thats 58,884 pints made by all of us combined. Good job.
