ITs alot if it were just me drinking it, and I managed to consume everything I made this year... But - * My best friend lives in Dover, and every time he visits he goes home with 1/2 to a gallon of homebrew. * I brewed 4 batches this year with the express purpose of giving them away * I probably have given away another 25 gallons of homebrew via a 6-pack here and 12-pack there... * My wife (and family when they visit) help out significantly * I've got 10 gallons in carboys, 20 gallons in bottles, and 22.5 gallons in kegs yet to be consumed, as well as about 13 gallons in the kegerator - so that's 65 gallons that not been consumed yet With that said, I drink pretty much nothing but homebrew anymore - State Line Liquors gets alot less of my business than they used to, unless its doing research for my next batch. I also can't remember the last growler I brought home from Iron Hill or Stewarts. Yeah… ITs alot if it were just me drinking it, and I managed to consume everything I made this year… But -

* My best friend lives in Dover, and every time he visits he goes home with 1/2 to a gallon of homebrew.
* I brewed 4 batches this year with the express purpose of giving them away
* I probably have given away another 25 gallons of homebrew via a 6-pack here and 12-pack there…
* My wife (and family when they visit) help out significantly
* I’ve got 10 gallons in carboys, 20 gallons in bottles, and 22.5 gallons in kegs yet to be consumed, as well as about 13 gallons in the kegerator – so that’s 65 gallons that not been consumed yet

With that said, I drink pretty much nothing but homebrew anymore – State Line Liquors gets alot less of my business than they used to, unless its doing research for my next batch. I also can’t remember the last growler I brought home from Iron Hill or Stewarts.

In fact, we discovered on our trip to Fordham that THEY are now contract brewing the DeGroens brand. The Baltimore Brewing Company folded, but DeGroens lives on!

It's hard to beat a cask conditioned beer for vollmundigkeit. And speaking of Baltimore, did you hear that DeGroens bit the dust? I guess even Dutch money only goes so far. As far as me venturing out; my wife usually works on weekends and since I'm doing the Mr. Mom thing that makes it difficult. I'd like to do a tour sometime though.

LOL! When are you going to join us on another road trip? I still remember the time we almost left you at the Oliver's Brewery in Baltimore! :) Cheers, Scott Louis,

I don't know of any Delaware homebrewers who have hit this milestone though there may be some. When I lived in New Mexico there were some 'Dukes of Ale' club members who made it. You have to be committed for that. And I'm all for you being committed. But seriously, this, ignoring spillage and possibly growing inventory, requires consumption of slightly over 70 ounces per day each and every day. That's why I never made it even when I was a very active homebrewer. I do realize you don't drink it all yourself but still it's impressive... I have word one of your 10 gallon batches was actually 10 and a half gallons... Run for the hills the revenuers are a comin'. Louis Glick Congratulations!
