2015 is coming to a close, so is time for the annual look back.<\/p>\n

The Good…<\/i>
\nThe blog is still getting a reasonable number of hits (155K as of today), but the youtube <\/a>channel is doing really well and, if trends remain the same, will have more hits than the blog in roughly 5 months. No infected batches this year, and instead, I’ve brewed two of the best beers I recall making – These Gose Christmas<\/a>, and an unnamed IPA I haven’t bothered blogging about yet (and whose keg is nearly empty).<\/p>\n

I also brewed batch #300 this year; a pretty notable milestone. Granted, I did not know at the time that it was batch #300, so in place of brewing something good I instead brewed a rather bland pale ale that didn’t even warrant a blog entry (and even being beer #300, still doesn’t warrant a blog entry).<\/p>\n

The Bad…<\/i><\/b>
\nBrewing output is down – all in (wine + cider + beer) I managed a paltry 14 batches this year. In my defence I did a compete tear-down and rebuild of my basement, plus added a giant new deck on the house. But the brewery (and my back) suffered as a consequence.<\/p>\n

The Ugly…<\/i><\/b>
\nUnlike last year, I get to leave the ugly slot empty this year. And that, folks, counts as a victory.<\/p>\n
