Up a Mountain / Down a Beer

beer math

To brew a batch of homebrew it takes about 3 hours and averages $40. Which amounts to 5 gallons or 128 oz. of delicious brew. Divide that 128 ounces by 12(ounces in your average bottle) and you get approximately 53. So for $40 I can brew 5 gallons of beer which equals 53 12 ounce bottles. A six pack of my home brew costs roughly $4.50 or $0.75 each to brew it my self. The average micro brewery beer is $8.00 plus tax per six pack.

Do the math!!

Learn to homebrew (it is pretty simple) and enjoy creating the exact beer you want with out all of the ridiculous costs! You would be amazed at what you can create. The New Complete Joy of Home Brewing is the bible for novices to experts, if interested in giving homebrew a shot pick up a copy!!

I currently have a Dogfish Head 90 minute (chocolate) IPA clone that is almost ready to enjoy!! I added a bit of chocolate malt to see what would happen!!!

Juice Box, UTM, and Brownie will be my lab rats for this one! Right guys??
