Was starting a topic here wanting to know what's the most you guys have ever spent on a beer recipe and the cheapest beer recipe you brewed?

$20 and it turned out like a nice Bud - I hated it but others loved it.

$68 and it tasted like turpentine!

I think I average about $35 now if I include yeast!

Purpose-made kit or custom recipe?

My most frequently brewed and inexpensive recipe is a dark mild which runs about $20/batch retail, shooting entirely from the hip. If you are buying in bulk, this could be a $10 batch.

Considering I buy in bulk, my most expensive was a Saison at $50.00 and least expensive is my dark mild that I can make for about $12.00.

Tomorrow's special at austinhomebrew.com is the Pliney clone. Making it before was the most expensive batch I've ever done. It has like 17 ounces of hops. Austin Homebrew Supply is the kit.

My cheapest? Well, probabably a brew using 10 pounds of grain and two ounces of hops (hops were $1.19 an ounce a couple of years ago!) along with some saved yeast. That would be around $11 or so.

These most expensive numbers so far are pretty weak. That's what you get when it's all-grain brewers... from an extract brewer, my most expensive so far is $77.50 for a Dogfish 90 Min clone.

I keep cost break-downs of most of my beers, so here's the break-down if you're interested:

Cost: 35.00 (7.5lb DME @ 13.95/3lb) + 12.95 (3.3lb LME) + 6.50 (yeast) + 2.00 (grain) + 12 (3oz Amarillo) + 4 (1oz Simcoe) + 5 (1oz Warrior) = $77.50 ($1.55 per 12oz / 9.30 per 6-pack - still cheaper than actual Dogfish 90Min!).

Cheapest batch so far was probably around $40.

Most expensive? Extract Double Chocolate stout rang in at about 50-55...

Cheapest? I've done 10 gallon AG batches of BM's Centennial Blonde for $17-20

I don't remember the exact prices, but the most expensive was a wee heavy (around $45, I think), and the cheapest was a fizzy yellow beer, around $12. including yeast.



It stands to reason that the big beers are going to cost more, and the little ones will be cheaper.

I think I've got about $80 into my batch of mead so far, and it's not even done yet.

So far as the cheap end, around $12 or $13.
