Of course one of the industries that is not affected by hard times is the alcohol industry. In fact many would argue that demand goes up in times of despair. Why? Because its still a sure fire way to have a bit of fun and ease the stresses of the day. I know I enjoy a cold beverage or two after a long day.
The problem is that alcohol is expensive! Some fortunate souls have a local bar where they can still manage to get a beer for a dollar or two, but many of us are looking at 3-6 dollars for a measly 12oz bottle of beer! So how do you still enjoy sipping a nice cold beer without digging yourself a deeper whole? Home brewing of course!
Let’s crunch the numbers:
The 1st time home brewer purchases an All-in-One Microbrewery Kit for $99.99 from MakeBeer.net. In this kit you get everything you need to start brewing beer straight out of the box. The fermenter and proportions will make 6 gallons of Coopers lager beer. 6 gallons of beer is the equivalent of 64 12oz bottles. 64 bottles for 99.99, comes to about 1.56 a beer. At 1.56 a beer and considering home brew usually packs a bit more of a punch, usually between 5-6% alcohol, how can you go wrong?
Now if you decide to keep on brewing after your first batch, which most people do, you have all the equipment ready to go, and its just a matter of buying ingredients. At MakeBeer.net you can buy a complete beer package for between 26.99 and 39.99, which has everything you need to start another 6 gallon batch. If we use the most expensive package, the Sparkling Ale Package, it brews 64 12oz bottles of beer which comes to .63 a beer. And on the cheaper end it is .42 a beer.
With prices like that how can you go wrong? You can actually let your friends drink your beer and not get annoyed by it!
So, I urge you. Think of your family. Do the responsible thing, stay out of the bar, stay out of the beer isle, and start brewing your own premium quality beer out of the comfort of your own home.
Cheers,
