I just bought Brewing Classic Styles and started pricing up some of the recipes. I'm somewhat of a beginner and have been brewing with kits for the most part. I was really surprised at how expensive the ingredients worked out to be - $50 - $70 for an extract batch in many cases. I think most of it is the hops that Jamil uses - I am looking at some of the more hoppy beers. Plus he bases the recipes on a 7 gal. boil so the amount of extract is more than you would find in a kit.
Does anyone have any suggestions to reduce the price a bit or is that the cost of brewing a really good beer?
