It's official! I just finished a batch of Munich Helles that marks my 500th batch!
It had to be my Munich Helles. I thought it was fitting because that was my very first unskilled, fumbling attempt at homebrewing. It was not good at all. I can't even begin to tell you what went wrong. It was sweet, under-carbed, probably oxygenated too. I'm actually surprised that I had the gumption to keep at it.
Ever since batch number one, I always used an Avery string tag to put the beverage info on to keep track. I just used the last tag in the 5th pack. Granted, not all batches were beer. Some wine, some cider, and not all of them were 5 gallons. There were some 1, a few 3, and recently some 10-gallon batches in there.
In the last 500 batches I have gone through 2 hydrometers, 3 brew set-ups, a dozen homebrew suppliers, 0 infections, 2 cappers, and just recently, a tube of keg lube... never thought those things actually ran out,
Who else wears the crown of the 500 club? Do you even keep count?
