What's your ingredient cost per pint?
|
|
Got back into homebrewing quite a bit in the last 4 months. Got bags of grain and pounds of hops.
Right now my low cost per pint (ingredients only) is $0.19 (an english Mild and a light-ish blonde), and my avg is $0.33.
What's yours?

I'm running in the ~$0.30-$0.43/pint range for medium ABV brews (under ~6.5%)... Higher ABV brews run me about $0.45-$0.60/pint...
I'm using grain from a group purchase, harvested/washed yeast (whenever possible) and hops bought in bulk. Doing all that, even my big barley wine recipe is coming in at under $22 for 5 gallons.

Ingredient costs for a 10 Gallons of Blonde Ale (malt, hops, yeast, defoamer and Irish moss) work out to about $0.17 a pint.
A rather heavily hopped IPA runs $0.54 a pint.

1 lbs specialty/crystal malts: $1.50-$2, depending on type
1.5 oz hops: $1.20-$2.90, depending on type
Yeast, dry: $4 or Yeast, liquid: $9
Misc salts, whirlfloc, etc: $1
Propane: $3
CO2: $2
Total: $0.50 to $0.75 per pint, roughly (not including cost for water).

It's a hobby for me so I no more care nor would calculate this than the cost of playing a hole of golf. The ROI is the leisure, not the beer.
