OK, everyone. Let's hear your tips on how you penny pinch yet still make great homebrews. What do you do to save a few dollars?
I reuse my yeast. I wash my yeast and I use other pre-fermentation yeast harvesting methods. Each batch that I don't have to buy yeast saves me about $8 dollars. I brew at least 2 times a month so in a year I save $192 dollars by reusing yeast! Beat that! (this figure doesn't include DME, water, natural gas, and time).
I would like to hear how others have decrease starter sizes. How have you minimized costs? Do you reuse sanitizer? What about grains?
Let's get our brains together to see how we can all minimize costs yet not affect the quality of our brews!
