Hell yeah, shouldn't cost $10 though since it is just a thought.

damn brain fart didn't even post the recipe.. my bad

That's more then $10 ?

I think it will be around 10-15.

All of my normal strength beers are $7-$12 per 5 gallons. The IIPAs and Barley Wines run about $15-20 for five gallons.

I think the problem you have is that you must be paying retail... not good. Find a brew club and get in on bulk buys.

what is a bulk buy ? is it like a 100 or more like 1000 ?


That is a good idea, maybe in a couple of month I will start clubbing

yeah im interested in group buys too
