By 2000, I had become so obsessed with this hobby, that I built a 45 gallon brewery. And had amassed several 5 gallon beer kegs, and other equipment, able to brew and store up to the legal limit of 200 gallons per year. I have had several beer brewing partners over the years, joined a few local home brew clubs including as a founding member of the Silicon Valley Sudzers. Doubling their capacity, keeping equipment operational, and even filling in for the brewers on a couple of occasions.
