It's not that buckets are cheap,but rather what goes in them is not. Using extracts,it costs $28-$55 a pop to fill those buckets,whether 5 or 6G. so,I don't know how in the world some of you can have newer houses & families & pay cash to keep 4-7 fermenters going. That's a truckload of money per year. And splitting it up to so much per bucket/bottle just sounds better. The actual amount has been spent,like it or no...
With you on this one. I would love to brew a batch every weekend. However, with work, grad school, and a wife and a few pets, it's very difficult (not saying no one on here has any priorities or anything like that). On top of that, I just can't be spending $25-45 bucks a week to brew a batch of beer, YET! I'm looking to move to partial mash my next batch. This should at least save me a couple bucks per batch. I must say though, I'm jealous of those that brew so often. It must be awesome to be able to select from 5 different home brews. I'm going to be kegging next weekend for the first time. I only have one batch going into the kegerator so I need to make another one soon to fill the other tap
