[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2438741, member: 116439"] I made -Brewed my own Beer for many years. Best beer I ever had, but came with a price. First is the $ cost of premium ingredients. A 2 gallon batch could cost at least $40-50 per batch (ten years ago) and you get 16 - Pint Bottles of beer @ 7to 12% Alcohol. That is the easy part. Then you have to keep the "Batch" in a very temp controlled environment) if too cold kills the yeast, if too warm cooks too fast. I would have 2 gallon drums placed strategically throughout the house with thermometers/timers depending on the time of year and weather heat or air-conditioning was on. It was constantly brewing, moving, bottling, cleaning and starting all over. If you only had a pint every now and then and lasted 16 pints in four months (one pint per week) you are good to go. I had six different batches going all the time. If you were making a new batch you didn't know if you were going to like it until 3-4 months. So if a "Batch" took three months to finish then you only had (16) Beers to drink and there was an expiration date of only a month or two to drink. BEST BEER I ever had for sure, but you have to follow the schedule, if not a batch can go bad and all is lost. I had and still have six or seven brewing barrels and about 140 bottles. Maybe I'll start again. So much easier to pick up a six pack of IceHouse 16oz for $4.59 (5.6% alcohol) or Yuengling for $6.26. I due confess that the brew I made for ever how long it took was the BEST beer I ever had and many a guest at our home said the same. Now if I could just replicate Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon I'll be set. A great Southern Bourbon and a fantastic home brewed BEER! [/QUOTE]
