Save money on beer prices by brewing your own
How does $0,40 cent per bottle of excellent home brewed beer sound to you? If you consider the average price of a $1,- per bottle, you know that you can save a lot of money by brewing your own beer. You need to be smart in this time of financial crisis and if you like to make things yourself the beer prices of your own product will amaze you. You do something you like, save money and have a great batch of beer to enjoy, what more do you want?
If you want to brew good quality beer, in a large amount for a real good price your best option is to buy a proper beer brewing kit. This is your biggest investment and will cost you about $100,- to $120,- this also includes the ingredients for your first batch. But this investment will start making you money before you know it.
The beer prices of your own homemade beer depend on the ingredients you will use for the next batches. You can do two things buy everything separate in a local home brew store or buy so called beer kit packages. These packages contain everything you need to make the a new batch of beer and they are available in many of your favorite flavors. The price of these beer kit packages for 6 gallons are between $25 to $30. Your per-bottle cost will run around $0.40 inclusive write down cost for the kit.
Cost of ingredients can vary
Because of a bad growing season, the price of hob was extreme in 2007and went up to 26 dollar a pound, in the year 2000 the price of hob was about 2 dollar a pound. So if you can grow your own hobs in your area we advise you to do so. This means the beer prices varies also over the years and that also counts for your own beer prices. But after all those years, brewing your own beer is still cheaper than buying it. Although it might be saving you just a little bit of money.
The beer prices are not influenced by the kind of equipment you have
Well of course you need to make much more beer to pay of beer brewing equipment of over $300,- then you do when you buy a kit from around $100,- but the prices of equipment have not increased much over the years, this means that the cost of investment have remained fairly constant. So you can better keep the investments as low as you can.
You can also save money by loosing the cost of bottles and caps and to put your finished beer in a keg. The kegs and a tap are something you need to invest in but you can get better beer prices if you divided these cost up among the number of times you can use them. This way you can actually reduce the beer prices per gallon even further. But at a price of less than 0.50 cents per bottle of excellent homemade beer who needs to?
