I have done three extract brews and one AG in the past 6 weeks or so. As I have just started I am trying to build a stock of beer in the garage.

Ultimately I will aim for around 1 brew a month. If I had more money I would probably do it more regularly.
 
I tend to try to have a brew ready as a corny becomes empty (I have 4 corny's currently), I usually brew on a Sunday every other week or every third week. I plan to get another corny so I can leave brews a while longer to mature before drinking them.
 
At the moment I am doing one a month. Last few have been about 15-16L which does me for the month after giving a few away to friends.
 
23L every 2 weeks for me as I've been trying to build up a stock, and condition beer a bit longer before drinking. I f I can only squeeze a brew into the coming weekend I think I'll have cracked it.
:cheers:
 
I tend to do one every 2 weeks as I do like the process. But as others say - built up a stockpile so missed a few weeks over the last few months.
Then again the missus had to tell everyone (even if they didn't care!) that I did 4 brews when we were off for a week over easter.
 
Between every 3-6 weeks I brew around 20L as I never bottle and brew in the same week. I only have space for 1 fv, 1 bottling bucket and I leave a brew 2 or 3 weeks in a fermentor depending on the og. plus I can't have too big an overlap between an fv on the go and bottles carbing up indoors, but I still got 10 brews in 2015 my first full year of brewing :grin:
 
Just started on good friday this year.

5 brews so far. Two more this week

I *might* have a problem. A nice problem of choosing what to drink 😂🍻🍻🍻🍻
 
I've generally fired up a 23L kit on the first weekend of the month every month for ages. Now I've got a boiler and some grain I hope to do twice as many half-sized batches instead.
 
I brew every weekend for a while until I have plenty of stock. I like to have one PB in the fridge, a couple conditioning, and one fermenting.
Trouble is my son pops round at the weekend and thats one batch gone just like that. I'd really like to condition my beer longer, but always seem to start them too early.
I'm gonna start making mild my staple brew :drink::drunk:
 
I try to have 1 on the go 1 drinking and 1 conditioning.. I found that my hoppy beers loose there hop kick after about 6 weeks

Depends, usually it's a case of "i fancy a..........", a bit of research, a trip to the-home-brew-shop and brew it. Only just got into all-grain but averaging 1 every 2-3 weeks. Usually based on when the last beer came out of the 'fridge' to make room.

I can see the rate going up as the stockpile of hops and grains grows with most recipes costing about ~£20 in ingredients but only using 1/3rd of the hops/grains and then the second attempt only costing the price of a bag of pale malt. Friends and family help with the drinking, by the time I've given away 10-15 bottles there's usually only 1 a day (between two of us) left until the next brew.

The hobby is the brewing, after the first beer and deciding what worked/didn't the rest is free beer and just a bonus!
 
I only started my first ever brew about 4 weeks ago and I'm just about ready to bottle my second...and I've got about 4 different kits in mind that I want to brew too.

I think because I've just started I'm a bit giddy, it'll probably settle down though.
