I've either got a really cheap LHBS, or my recipies are less complex, or prices really have gone up since winter.

I have a Hefe recipe that doesn't cost me much more than 25, and that's with liquid yeast. but it's only like 6lbs LME... and then a couple ounces of some steeping grains.

Grain (and extract) prices are up, but nowhere near as much as hops. That's where the main difference is I imagine.
