So I want to brew more but I've been figuring out my costs per 10 gallon batch and it's a lot more than I though. Something in the neighborhood of 50-$80 once i factor in grain, yeast hops, finings etc. The cost of my ingredients includes shipping since I get most of my stuff from northernbrewer. I buy grain by the bag, hops by the pound and I harvest my yeast. Is there anything else I can do to bring costs down? I'm in Wilmington Delaware and don't know of any group buys nearby or I would get a bunch of bags of grain. Grain usually ends up costing 1.50-2.15 per lb, hops around $2 an ounce and I use $6 for the cost of yeast in a batch... what am I doing wrong and how do I get cheaper ingredients?
