Extract kit prices ????

[okiepc]

Seems like every time I order a kit they have gone up in price at all the well known sites. Has anyone else noticed this increase?

I have to wait for a site special offer before I buy.

Also I see a lot of three gallon kits being offered that I don't remember seeing before.

Might have to go to BIAB to lessen the cost of my brewing.

I buy extract from Williams Brewing and haven't noticed much if any increase in the last year. Their kits seem pretty expensive, but I don't buy them. You could try their blended extract. They have different grain bills that can be used without specialty grains, so it's a little like a kit except you select the hops, yeast, boil gravity, and OG for the particular style you want, or to match your taste. It makes it pretty economical.

Can I ask what you think is expensive? I just bought from a local brew store a brown ale kit for $27 to do a 5 gallon batch. That does not seem bad to me. What are you paying?

I think most companies across the board are very close in price if you compare all the stuff in the kits. But to be honest..YES prices are going up EVERYWHERE.
