How many times...
Are you brewing a year? I think I'm at roughly 25 5 gal. batches (no one tell the ATF) a year.
Well, I just started, so probably 3 brews this year (I'm getting geared up for my next brew - my first will be ready in less than a week!)
In a perfect world, I would do about 10 - 15 batches a year or so. In actuality, this year is a record low since I started home-brewing, with only 4 batches 
That's what happens when you get transferred at work 
With any luck, next year I will be able to make a batch per month!
Hmmm, I haven't been brewing long enough to hit any cap set forth by the feds, but if my calculations are correct in a one year period I should be pretty damn close if not over. Of course I live with 4 other people at the moment so some of those brews are theirs. 
Or at least that's what I'd say if questioned.
I usually do about 10 to 15, but with the addition to the family, that has been cut quite a bit. I will probably only get 5 or 6 this year, if I am lucky.
If you train your new addition to be a brewery assistant you really crank out some beer!

Where do you live that there are all these restrictions?
ATF regulates everyone to 100gal per person per year, no matter where you live, certain States have adopted even tighter restrictions. Whether or not they would raid your garage for your homebrew, not going to happen. I even knew an ATF guy where I used to live and showed him my set-up, they have bigger fish to fry, and if it's for your own use, no harm no foul.
I don't know what their problem is. 100 gallons a year is only 3 beers a day! 
Yeah, but if you're wife doesn't drink beer you can brew 200 gals and drink it all! Also a good reason to have more kids.
