The cost of beer

I've been drinking beer for 45 years and I still can't believe they can make it so cheap :)

All this talk sounds like a good reason to get into brewing your own!!

I used to brew beer occasionally with a mate. I think it used to cost us about $12 for a can of Coopers Lager and a kg of sugar. Used to produce about 60 stubbies. After a batch is out of the barrel start on the next batch straight away, that way in about a month or so after the first batch is finished, you'll have about 10 cases of beer ready to go and it will of only cost you about $50.

Of course you have to buy the barrel etc at the start, but that's only about $100 -$150 and you pretty much make that back on your first 2 batches.

Now I know Perth is not the cheap corner that it used to be, but can someone reassure me that some other parts of this great 4wding nation have a B double or more of reasonableness.

Even at $7.99 for 30 VB would be over priced.....

Kast mate
Easy all you need is halve a wardrobe in the bedroom you`ve got space to brew and store maybe 120 longnecks or close to 300 stubbies. Dont forget the 20 stubbies in the fridge.

Now that's what I call good thinking pearcey.

Just have to work out what to do with the MoF's clothes and footwear!
