The cost of beer

[pearcey]

Megga I spend about 1 hour a fortnight to brew, keg and bottle. All it mean is the wife just misses my attentions for that hour ROFPML.
Once the system is set up it`s a piece of cake.

Hope this is readable. If you find your local home brew shop they will give you all the information. It’s just so simple. As I have increased mine to produce 95% I now don’t need to filter my sprit. I get my supplies’ from here, found them to be the cheapest. http://www.aussiebrewer.com.au/

I do it the easy way. Make the alcohol using sugar. Then add the still sprit essences to make whatever I want. Can’t go wrong.
