How much have you spent on brewing this year?

[Kazi the Younger]

Not including what you spend on commercial stuff to drink.

I just added up my costs from January until now and it's pretty scary. In a good way--tee hee!

I'm afraid to know. The last time I did that, I had spent over grand. And that was before the hop crisis.

Tips for saving money:

Buy base malt in bulk through a local brewery or do a club buy from here

Buy hops by the pound. (I found good buys on eBay)

Buy propane at UHAUL. (don't buy the so-called "refills"-they're not full)

Helped my budget this year.

I refuse to answer on grounds that it may tend to incriminate me.

As a rule I don't do it. Also, the account page that shows all your orders from morebeer and their prices...I blocked it on my browser.

Buy propane at UHAUL.

I got shut down when I tried that. They gave me some bullshit excuse about how it need to be ON the RV. Bastards.


And as far as the topic.... too much....

On the subject of propane fill costs.

I just got 4 BBQ size tanks filled by the people that deliver propane to the house. Cost me $8 each.

Filled one up in town at the feed store for $10+.

"Exchange" places charge $21-23 - ouch.

Shop around!!!
