I am currently enjoying my first batch of homebrew - it turned out pretty good considering it was just the kit that came with the setup. I am working out some recipes of my own that I want to try for the next batch, which brought me to this question -
One of the reasons I wanted to start homebrewing was the fact I could get much better beer for much lower prices. In most places I read that I could spend $25 or $30 on ingredients and get two cases. Now that I'm working out some recipes, I price the ingredients online and at my LHBS and the total comes to around $50. Now, I know that there is a hop shortage, and I hear that malt and yeast prices have gone up sharply recently, but it seems like a big difference. I'd like to hear from some of you about what your average cost-per-batch is.
Thanks for the input.
