Just popped on Twitter quick to see my feed and got this:





Congratulations Denny.

Awesome, Denny. Congrats!

Way to go Denny! Hope I get there someday, really only about 35 batches into my homebrewing career in the last 3 years, but I have no desire to stop anytime soon. By the way, does anyone know what he settled on to brew for number 500? I had posed this to him a couple months ago and he was not certain at the time

Very cool!  I am prepping today for batch........#2 of my brewing career LOL.  Brew day set for tomorrow.

I think he said on the podcast that it was going to be his Rye IPA.

Congrats, Denny!

Eric nailed it. He said it would be his Rye IPA.

I think that is the same picture from batch 393!!

I have no idea how many batches exactly.  I can only guestimate. I usually only keep detailed records of when I tweak a recipe.  When I'm brewing an existing one, I only track the OG/FG on a whiteboard on the fermenter and erase them after.

[RPIScotty]

I didn't track my extract batches, partial mash batches or my first few AGs. I have been tracking pretty solid for 3 batches now.

Nah, that mash paddle is definitely new!

Wow!  500 batches.  Way to go Denny!

I just plugged batches 250-255 into my recipe list last night.  I've got a ways to go.  I hope to start brewing them next weekend.

Same here. Over the 23 years I've moved several times and lost a couple brewing journals along the way, so I don't have an exact count. But it's (I think) north of 350. I also went back to college twice and brewing was pretty sparse during those years, but not extinct altogether. Regardless, a lot of homebrews have come and gone (figuratively and literally).

Yeah, I've been brewing 21 years.  I slacked off since I scaled up a few years ago.  I brew fewer than 20 batches a year now (probably average more like 15 or 16).  When I used to brew 5 gallon batches, I'd brew 2 in a long brew day since I was already cleaning equipment, so might as well make it worth it.  So, those were probably more like 30-40 batch years.  Paused brewing for about a year when my daughter was born, and again when we moved here.  So, it could be anywhere between 400 and 600 batches.  I used to brew the same things regularly for a long time just for the house and friends, so I didn't log a lot of them.  I've started keeping better records now that I've started judging and entering competitions again the last few years.

Batch 150 for me on May 28, Denny's BVIP.
Cheers Denny!
