Brew year resolutions.

[Subtle Duck]

So has any one made any BREW years resolutions?

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Do not do dry January.

Brew a beer each month.

 

[Horners]

Make time before Easter to do a barley wine for Christmas.

 

[Subtle Duck]

Mines to actually plan brews ahead of schedule, not just on brew day

 

[Rodcx500z]

Was thinking about this earlier. At the moment I've got another quad, a tripple, a malty german beer (maybe a dopplebock) in the planning stages. I'm erring towards brewing less sessionable beers and focusing on higher abv 'speciality' beers. Plan is to drink less but savour what I do drink more. We'll see......

I moved house to a place with a garage, I want to finish setting it up as my brew space early this year. Including a 2 tap keezer, plumb in the sink, insulate the ceiling and some other bits like that then decorate it a bit. I want one more keg so I can have 2 beers on the go and one ready to put on at all times.

• Get more fit, tackle my ITB issues
• Brew more and better beer; perfect my house mild.
• Set up a Corny Keg system, including keezer or Kegorator
• Get married
• Finish remodeling the garden.

 

[Leon103]

Build my kegrator.
Sort water treatment once and for all.

1. URGENTLY build new kegerator before the weather improves and 'shed temp' is too warm to serve.
   
2. Brew some ridiculously hoppy beers, now that I have finally figured out how to avoid the vegetal flavours that have been plaguing my 2019 efforts
3. Before spring have a crack at culturing up the yeast from the 40yr old bottles @terrym very kindly sent me some time ago (if successful some best/strong bitters are also on the cards)

 

[ClownPrince]

Move from Kit/Extract brewing to Partial/Mini-Mash brewing.
Actually build a Mash Tun out of the coolbox i bought many moons ago.

 

[Brewnaldo]

Bottle whats currently in my FV.

Brew the Milk Stout ingredients I ordered 7 minutes ago (dont **** it up as it cost more than I anticipated)

Learn, write stuff down, pay attention, sanitise.

Chip away at the absolute state my garage is in so that I have a clean, organised space to brew in.

If I can acheive all that this year and knock out a few palatable brews I will be over the moon.

Whether they brew to to make cheap beer or because it is an enjoyable hobby or shades in between, near the top of every homebrewers to-do list should be be the resolution of giving their liver a regular rest from drinking. And for me that's not an annual dry January which is good for January and some of February but does nowt for the rest of the year, but a few days a week with those 'few days' being what makes you personally feel comfortable, given its your liver that will benefit, let alone your waistline.

 

[Ajhutch]

- Brew some lagers
- Get my mixed fermentation ‘programme’ operating at full capacity (1 FV and 3 DJs available)
- Tidy up my shed and improve the storage

Totally agree with this @terrym . Last year I set myself a target of 3 concurrent booze free days a week, this year it will be four. That still leaves plenty of time for supping homebrew, and will hopefully help me keep the weight off.

 

[MartinHaworth]

Keep better records. I keep thinking I'll remember. Then at Norwich Amateur Brewers someone will ask what the mash pH was, what mash efficiency I achieved, what water treatment etc.. and I can't remember.

So, proper brewlog.

Also, brew more often, shorter length...still trying to work out how to do this.

Also, more beer swaps with other local brewers.

Cheers

Martin

Brewing related: like Ajhutch more mixed fermentation stuff, particularly more brett beers, and also some more German lagers. I've also just got a free chest freezer so a keezer build at some point.

Non-brewing: hit a 500kg power lifting total (this was my aim last year but a rather nasty hip injury 6 months ago killed that), improve my music theory knowledge, particularly applying scales and modes to the 8-string guitar.
