Just wondering how everyone breaks down the cost of each batch? If you bother.
I just ordered ingredients for the next 2 batches I'm planning.
But as I was working out prices I noticed myself pricing full amounts....
What I mean is that if I had to use 5.5 oz in the recipe I'd have to order 1.1 lb or 2.2 lbs (1/2 or 1 kg)
Then I'd figure the full price into that beer (or beers if I plan more). Then move on to the next beer and find I have most of the ingredients in storage and I just need yeast or something small....
Basically I write of the cost on the first batch then have a really cheap beer the next time. Completely daft but what the heck I'm not in it to save money. Now before you start about gas etc it's not a money saving hobby. As for my time it's well spent paying myself in beer.
