how much would i save if i bought a beer making kit?
i usually buy the cheapest beer out there, so i pay about 8$ for a 6 pack. but i want to get a beer brewing kit. how much does this save me? anyone have any experience with this?
Heh…heh…heh. As a homebrewer I can tell you that you don’t get into it to save money. But you can.
I’ve got a pale ale going right now. Nothing special, mildly hoppy and a nice level of malt. Ingredients alone cost me $28. Since I save all of my pry top bottles I don’t have to buy them, but if I did they’d have cost me around $12 a case. I’ll bet two cases and about 3 bottles from this batch. Caps will run you under five bucks for 100.
Here are some recipe kits –

The real killer is the start up costs. To get a good extract brewing kit it will cost you about $90. You can get one for $60, but I really recommend the carboy for clarifying your beer. You can totally piece one together from Home Depot for less, but the there is some work you gotta do.
Here are some beginner equipment kits –

I also recommend a book or two. Good thing for you is the last edition is free online from the author –

So your first batch isn’t going to save you anything. But later batches will only cost you about $30 for two cases. Until you decide you wanna get creative. This years Christmas ale cost me about $75. Two years ago it cost me $110, but it was an AMAZING Imperial Stout.
