I was in the local store yesterday and realized almost every sixer of craft brew was $9 and up. Most bombers were $8 and up.
I started buying bulk base grains recently so they are $1/lb. Specialty grains are about $2/lb. Bulk hops are about $1/oz (depending on what it is so this is an average). Yeast is $4-8 but since I wash or re-use my yeast it's closer to $1-4 per batch.
Therefore an average pale ale/IPA/session/etc runs me under $20. Considering that's over 50 12oz bottles I'm down to under $3 per sixer.
This doesn't consider equipment, time/labor, etc (I'll leave that for the other thread).
What does your average six pack cost for ingredients?
