Total cost of a simple brew 

I've always told people, home brew is the most expensive free beer you'll ever drink! :)

Nice one fellas,you could bring the cost down by having a 30 minute boil. Great insight🍺

This is so so useful thanks to the gingers 🙏

Nice video, cheers. I'd always reckoned about 50p a bottle at home but everything is more expensive these days. Not surprised you got it to 70p in kit form. Definitely group with your mates to buy malt - even talk to you local microbrewery about malts and yeast. Many are quite happy to sell you a sack or two at not much more than cost price.

Yep I think it's more than I thought, I will try and recalculate my brew I just done...... And post up soon similar to your recipe....nice video

Nice one guys seems pretty reasonable I haven't been brewing much recently, so I've been usually going for a 4x pack pale ale/IPA I make sure I don't go over £6.50 for a 4 can pack, so home brew is much cheaper, I'm sure this video will be used by many of us to justify home brew equipment spending to any non believers 👍

This is where you have to be careful if you do anything like this in your life. That, "Why am I bothering when it only costs xxx from the supermarket". Think about how long it took you to make that beer, waiting for it to ferment, waiting for it to settle, carbonate etc and that's before you work out how much all that fancy brewing equipment cost you. It misses the point by a country mile. I don't care if its cheaper, I don't care if its slightly better or worse. Its the feeling I get when I crack open that beer I made, that I try different recipes, that I sit and contemplate what I am drinking- what works, what doesn't. Its the thought when its brewing I could have stuffed it up, and the self satisfaction when it comes out right. Its the satisfaction of knowing you had the skill and the patience to pull it off, and knowing it was all on you when it tastes like kak. And its having a bit of control over something I consume, in a world in which we increasingly rely on big business to provide our basic human needs.

Other factors you might have to think about are the electricity if you're using a brew fridge and delivery which I spread onto the cost of the ingredients when I enter them into Beersmith. I've had quite a few beers come in under a tenner including electricity when doing bulk buys but that's before grain prices went up a a while back and you could get 25kg of pale malt for £20. It's the hops that cause prices to go crazy. Wheat beers and stuff like that you can make so cheaply. Cheers boys.

hey ginger brewers great video!! i did the cost too, without electicity, and only ingredients the most expensive brew was 1.50Chf. but when i thought about it in the end it is not expensive because when you buy a artisanal beer or special beer here the cheapest you can find is 3.50chf so i get better beer for less 😁 and i get to drink something i made😊. how much does such a beer cost in the shop? and you get to spend more time with Dan!
