I've got three batches (90 bottles of drinkable, Honey Porter, Newcastle Brown & Draught), one batch only been in the bottle for a week (30 bottles, Kilkenny), one batch in the fermenter (30 bottles, Stout) and another batch going in fermenter #2 tomorrow (30 bottles, Honey Porter). I've got another 3 tins (Cascade Porter & 2 Wanders Draught) and 4x1kg of malt (3 light, 1 dark).

In the fridge I've got 5 packets of Safale yeast, 2 plugs of Fuggles hops and one packet of Hallertau hops.

And I'm sure that I'm an amateur compared to alot of people here.

I consider myself a lightweight:

90 x 1.25litre bottles beer.
30 x 740 ml bottles beer.
20 x Grolsch bottles beer.
1 x 24litre no-chill cube proto-beer.
1 x 24 litre in primary.
1 x 23 litre in secondary.
1 x tin MSB lager to make lethaldog's Becks clone.
4 x pots (2xMG Hightail, 2xHB) in stomach.

About:

2 kg LDME
No grain (trip to G&G coming up)
1.4kg hops various varieties
2 x US-56 packets
3 x S-04 packets
1 x Nottingham packets
1 x K-97 (? Wheatie)
Plus water treatment and finings, etc...

Yeah I'm a lightweight too id expect.

- ~120 odd 700-750ml bottles... (80% glass + some coopers plastic)
- 10 Grolsch Bottles
- ~20 330ml bottles
- 3 x 23l Fermenters + taps air lock etc..

- 1 x SafAle and 2 Coppers Ale yeasts
- 1 Tin Coopers Premium Draught
- 2 Tins Coopers Light Extract
- 2kg LDME
- ~ 400 Caps & capper

723 various sized (330/345/375) stubbies (including roughly 55 483ml Grolsch swingtops) filled with various brews, plus at least another 300 empties. A good 250 of those are in various stages of long term aging processes, aiming for anywhere from 6 months up to 24.
22 640ml midnecks containing Stout, plus some empties
56 740ml PET with Cider, Gingerbeer and Bourbon & Cola
11 1L square glass bottles containing mead
Plus 2 19L kegs, both probably around 1/2 to 2/3 full

Fridge has samples of Wyeast 1272 American Ale II, 2278 Czech Pils, 1728 Scottish Ale, 3068 Weihenstephan Weizen, recultured Chimay White, Brewcraft Belgian Ale, and a stack of Coopers Ale sachets. Also have the remains of 90gm airlock bags of Nelson Sauvin, First Gold, Glacier, Saphire and Strisselspalt hop pellets.

I have a TCB Wetpak European Pilsner, a Brewcraft Pale Ale recipe kit (to be a Belgian Fruit), and a Black Rock Cider can sitting around waiting for appropriate times.

30L carboy, 25L carboy, 23L secondary, 15L carboy, 2 s-bend airlocks and 1 senior airlock, peltier-effect wine fridge for winter lagers and summer temperature control, plastic containers with various sugars and grains, thermometer, candy thermometer, electric scales, plastic stirring spoon, wing capper, superautomatica, plus a big plastic tub to hold it all.

Also, a full size fridge, 2 big plastic tubs, a giant plastic box, a whole lot of cardboard boxes, and 3 self assembled 4 shelf steel shelves to hold all the beer.

Even better (though only partially related), I recently bought a 65L Esky Ice King for some quality portability.

So yeah, just a small amount of beer and gear here!

4 X 19L kegs
2 X 15L kegs
2 X 12L Kegs
and about 200 bottles 750ml

~5kgs of hops

~120kgs of grain

At last count 420 Longnecks, 300 stubbies and 30 Grolsch swingtops.

Around 100 longies filled........working on that today

9 x 19 litre kegs
120 x longnecks
~65 kg grain
2 x safale us 56
1 x Nottingham ale yeast
100g irishmoss

Enough to keep me and my mates happy for a while yet...

I am a featherweight at the moment. Currently have in stock:

60 x Coopers 740ml PET Bottles (30 filled with Coopers Draught, and another 6 left filled with Beermakers Bitter)

2 x 23ltr fermenters (one currently brewing a Coopers Bitter with BE2)

1 x Tooheys Real Ale (picked up for $6 at Kmart)

Also got some other equipment in the shed like a pull down capper, and a home made heating box.

Future plans when we move into a new house involve getting more bottles, and running 2 fermenters at the same time with at least 1 in use all of the time.
Eventually I aim to get into kegging.

I 'm probably at the lighter end of the scale...

I've got about 250 stubbies (or equivelent, some are longnecks), most of which is decent.

1 30L fermenter
2 25L fermenter
1 22L Racking/priming/lagering cube
2 racking hoses
2 bench cappers
1 brew fridge (temp controlled)

Nottingham Ale Yeast
Coopers Yeast
Saaz, Hallertau, EKG and NZ Goldings, small quanitities of each.
Always have LDME on hand for priming, starters, etc.

Certainly gets you around the problem of no take away on Good Friday.

I have about 140 800ml longnecks, with another two batches going down within the next week.

Not much but it's increasing. Thing is, whenever I hit 150+ I'll usually convene a party and that number drops by around 70.

I've recently cut back the stock pile. I now have 3 kegs close to full, just over a case in bottles, 1x 20L batch ready to keg tomorrow, & a cube of wort ready to go.

My stash is;
53 stubbies of extract strong ale
52 stubbies of morgans wheat beer
53 stubbies of jovial monk's adelaide brown ale
53 stubbies of partial mash ale
52 stubbies of morgan's old brewed with safbrew t-58
53 stubbies of tooheys draught
53 stubbies of partial mash pale ale
53 stubbies of dark ale,made from coopers lager
53 stubbies of saaz ale
and 22 litres of coopers irish stout in fermenter at the moment.

1.5 corny kegs (full keg amarillo pale ale, 1/2 keg Mild English Bitter), plus 3/4 batch in bottles (ESB, Toucan Bitter, random others)

Approximately 125 longnecks under the house.

Another two lots to bottle in about a week or 10 days.

Trying to stockpile so I always have conditioned beer to drink

Got about 40 bottles left with another batch down at the moment. I will probably put another batch down Thursday week when I bottle this. May have to look at heat pads with the cooler weather on its way.

Those bottles will keep longer if you fill them right up...

Featherweight -

180 PET longnecks(160 full) and plans to double that amount by July.
Barely any equipment besides what came with the Coopers Brew Kit, soon to change as i'm about to buy my second.

Mostly out of suppiles as i'm off to G&G next week....
Plus, i devise a several recipies and then go shopping, not the other way around, thus not ending up with any unused ingredients.
