The cost of beer

[TimE]

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.

Evening all,

Just been down to my mate Dan's to stock up for the long weekend of camping, fishing and 4wding. So nothing too expensive or elaborate. So wtf do yo think of $47.99 for 30 cans of VB!

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.....

Space is a bit of an issue living in a unit pearcey, not just for brewing but also for storing 4wd stuff and working on the truck, and having mates over and.........

"we gotta get out of this place'

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!
