Roughly 200-250 to get everything you need. You can reuse your bottles and batch of 50 12oz beers usually costs around $32 bucks. Delicious beer and cheaper than the store.
I made a batch that smells fuggin amazing. Can't wait to try it out in a couple weeks
I did for years before my daughter was born and still do a small 2gal batch from time to time. Just make sure those bottles are sanitized and cap away! I was cranking out a mock-up of Corsendonk's Christmas Ale for family over the winter that turned on me cause I musta mixed up the clean and dirty glass at some point. Broke my little heart to dump it all.
I have 2 different cousins that are in the 500 gallon a year range. One cousin started with a basic garage set up and is now in th 5 to 10k range. The other brews cider, mead and so damn fine beers and stouts.
Speaking of the asbach uralt can anyone get the 12 year old or the 15 year old? It's not sold in the states. I would love to get a bottle or two for Christmas. Hit me up if anyone has a connect in Germany.
