I brew beer. That is a good deal for what it is, but way overkill for most regular hone brewers in the age of simple all in one systems for less than $500 new. That would be a good setup for someone looking to crank out high volumes or do test batches to scale up to a commercial scale. I have a hard time getting through the 19 litres I brew every month or so. Not because it ain't good, but because I generally have 3 or 4 taps going and 80 litres of beer is enough for one man!

Which reminds me, will trade beer for docking lessons. ;p

You can get set up to brew 19 litres of beer a month for $500? How much do the ingredients cost for the batch?

You can brew way more than 19L a month. Hell you can brew 19L a day if you have time and room for it and want to drink that much, or have that many friends. Ingredient costs vary by what type of beer you're making - higher alcohol takes more grains, big hoppy IPA's take more hops etc. Liquid yeast costs more than dry yeast. Its been a long time since I really paid attention to my per batch cost which I'm sure has ben hit by inflation like anything else, but a standard simple pale ale or the like is probably still less than $30 in ingredients. Like anything, cheaper to buy in bulk.

I guess prices have gone up slightly but they are on sale right now. This is what I brew on currently. Used to have a big 3 pot, 2 burner, custom welded propane setup that took up half my garage. This is way easier and smaller. Not much else you need beyond this that is mandatory besides a fermenter which can be as simple as a 5 gallon bucket. Like fishing you can go way down the rabbit hole and get fancier glycol chilled this and stainless that, but at the heart of it you need a boiler, a mash tun,and a fermenter. The brewzilla is the first two in one.

Thanks for the rundown I’m going to look in to this for sure!

When I was in my big bash throwing days, we used to brew beer at Burnaby Brewing. I'm not sure it even exists anymore. But it cost about 1/4 of what you'd pay retail. They had a list of whatever type of beer you were trying to replicate. You pay, then you come back however many weeks later and pick up your finished keg. Alternatively you could pay a small amount for the cans and can it yourself at their facility. It was sweet.

Yeah I did that once at a place in south van. You come back and can it yourself. I think I got 4 24s and it worked out to just over $1 a can. Thins was like 15 years ago though. I felt like the ultimate hipster drinking out of a plain silver can with no writing on it…
