I don't mean how many gallons did you brew. There is already a thread for that.
I don't mean what do you plan on doing or what resolutions you have made. There is already a thread for that as well.
I mean: What did you learn or do this year (2013) to improve your brewing.
For example: I started oxygenating my wort, controlling my fermentation temperature, controlling my water chemistry, using acidulated malt to manipulate my mash pH, joining my local home brew club, and joining the AHA.
There is no doubt in my mind that these steps have improved my beer and increased my enjoyment of the hobby.
So, what did you do to advance the hobby (lifestyle) of home brewing in your world this past year?
