Set for Christmas?

[dad_of_jon]

I'm banned from brewing in December, so took stock of where my stocks are, because they can take a hit during the festive season....

I have a tiny rebel advent calendar due as well, so only need a few more cans for the sake of variety.

I was quite surprised when I did my stock take of the shed to have 10 different HB beers available.
I'm missing a standard weiss and a cali common but more than happy with the list.

How are you peeps doing with your stock for chrimbo?

On track or in the cack?

 

[Jim Brewster]

I've got 4 fermenters on the go at the moment in anticipation.

 

[periolus]

I’m just getting back into the AG brewing game after a long break, but on track to finish my MT Coolbox conversion in the next 2 weeks. I won’t have any beer ready quite for xmas, but *hope* to have a corny and a dozen bottles of a Best Bitter ready for New Year and a Cali Common fermenting by then too

We're all coming round to yours for Christmas.

 

[Brewed_Force]

I've just bottled a dark mild and might sneak in a tweaked Coopers stout kit next weekend.

 

[damienair]

I'm 1.5 stone heavier than I was 2 years ago. So I've been trying to limit my beer consumption recently. As a result I have reduced my brewing but I should still be sorted for Christmas.

22 Bottles of Pink Grapefruit IPA
20 Bottles of Dick Dastardlys Dunkel Hefeweizen
39 Bottles of Pamela Anderson Ale which I just bottled yesterday.

Trying to be good and healthy over the coming weeks. I'll stick on a Blonde Ale next weekend but that wont be ready until the new year.

Blimey looking at these lists makes me feel like a real lightweight!
In the original post, is the 2nd column ABV?
My christmas special ('Yule like this') is 7% but the rest are 5.5% or less.
Note to self: must try harder!

 

[dave_77]

I have ordered 24 beers from Beermerchants for.a.DIY calendar.

On keg currently
Black IPA (probably finish this week)
Schwarzbier - few litres left
Hoppy Belgian pale
English IPA

I will be kegging a Cali common this weekend.

Brewing a Gose this weekend and in a couple of weeks Italian Pils.

 

[dad_of_jon]

I've got 4 fermenters on the go at the moment in anticipation.

I'd just love to be able to ferment in parallel. Mrs DOJ insists only 1 FV allowed

yup second column is abv. I buy in the weaker stuff usually.

 

[Jimboscott]

Here's, some of you lot are in for a good Christmas!!

My list:

8x 2l PET mangrove jack's apple cider

9x2l PET mangrove jack's dry hopped pils

4x5l mini kegs mangrove jack's pink grapefruit IPA

1x 2l PET mangrove jack's pink grapefruit IPA (that's never making it to Christmas!)

1x5l mini keg of woodforde's Bure Gold

2x9.5l cornys of festival new Zealand pilsner

A spare 2l PET of the new Zealand pilsner which will never make it to Christmas.

All bottled/kegged and conditioning in various places which should see me through December.

Won't use the taps until Christmas day as the New Zealand Pilsner tasted amazing straight out of FV so cannot wait until it's had 6 weeks at 3c to condition.

 

[Jordang]

Christmas looks like:

2021 Imp Stout - 19l
Summer Lightning (almost gone)
Aussie Ale - 19l
Nelson Saison - 10l
Vimto Cider - 6l
SoLA - 5l
Cali Common - 19l
Session Ale - 19l
Cornish IPA - 19l
Oatmeal Stout 19l
Beast Mild - 19l
Weiss - 19l

Id like to get 2 brews on before Christmas (Brun Leffe for next autumn and Bitter) and another 2 in the new year for spring (probably a Kolsch and NEIPA or DIPA)

Next year I’m actually planning my brewing calenda, rather than getting excited and randomly buying stuff lol.

I can relate to the weight gain from beer!

 

[jof]

I've got just over 84 bottles of assorted beer filled & another 21 litres in the FV.
I also invested in a small marquee so I can put it up & brew on the patio when it's raining

My view is that it is Christmas that should be banned, not you DoJ

This is me explaining to my wife and family (yes, I do have them)

 

[Clint]

I fear a trip to the shops may be needed! I have about 100 bottles of various brews. I have plans to brew but with the house having been a mess for weeks due to having work done it's not looking promising.

 

[VW911]

I've just put my sprouts on, so I'll be fine!
