[QUOTE="Drunkula, post: 1012519, member: 20400"] I make beer that I wouldn't pay for. Steady, nutty! What I mean is that sometimes I'll make something like Pedigree which I'd never buy in a shop because if you've got Shipyard in your hand and Pedigree and they're the same price there's no way I'm taking the Pedigree. But the Pedigree to make costs less than 16.5p a pint, including lekky and bottle cap. Costing with the induction unit and bottle capper included it goes up to £1.02 a pint for the first 40 pint run, 59p the next run, 45p... 38p... 33p... So that's a beer most people know and it was very cheap. I made a voss rice lager and it was £6.20 for the batch including electricity. I've never tasted anything like it and it was insane and I can't imagine even having something like that if it weren't for homebrewing. I ended up scoring it a 10/10 [I]as a drink[/I].... I couldn't even start where to score it as a beer because it was so far off my radar. If you really want to get drunk for cheap then make sugar wash, use finings and then add fruit juice or something to flavour it - that's what a load of the cheaper wine kits essentially are.
