Living here in Hawai`i is EXPENSIVE in every way you can think of.
All grain at the only Home Brew shop on O`ahu is $3/lb except plane old 2 Row which is $1.70/lb and Pale Ale Malt which is $1.80/lb.
I like to brew British ales w/as true British products as I can. So last week I planed an English Brown, a British IPA, and a Scottish Export. Each patch would be 2 gallons w/an expected result of 3 six packs.
The bill came out to $98 for grain, yeast and hops. So do the math..
3 six packs = 18 bottles x 3 brews = 54 bottles
24 bottles in a case so I get 2.25 cases of beer for $98.
That's $43.55 a case....WOW.....am I crazy or what?
I can buy dated craft beer at a local marked for approx $16 a case.
So again I ask why am I doing this.
