5 Ways To Save Money on Brewing Your Own Beer
It's no secret that brewing your own beer at home can lead to considerable savings over buying beer. While you'd be hard-pressed to find a premium beer taste for under $1.25 a bottle at a store, it's more than possible to home brew an even better tasting beer for around $0.25 a bottle.
Looking for ways to squeeze extra pennies out of your home brewing experience? Here are Beer College's Top 5 Tips for Saving Money on Home Brewing!
5. Reuse Old Beer Bottles
Lot's of places will offer to sell you new empty beer bottles when you start home brewing. Instead of spending the extra money on new bottles, just reuse some of your old ones. Old bottles will work equally as well just remember to give them a good cleaning first! And make sure the bottles have screw-off caps and not snap-off ones to withstand the pressure from carbonation.
4. Use Tap Water Not Bottled Water
Some home brewing guides will recommend that in order to get the best taste out of your beer, you need to spend the money on distilled or spring water. We at Beer College respectfully disagree. On top of adding an unnecessary cost to your brewing process, the difference in taste is minor. In fact, the hard water that comes out of your tap can actually improve the taste of your beer.
3. Buy Ingredients Individually
When you start brewing your own beer, you might opt for a pre-made ingredient kit to help keep things simple. These kits can be a great way to get the hang of home brewing, but they add considerably to your cost. Instead, find a recipe you like the sound of and buy the ingredients individually. Not only will it give you a more full appreciation of what goes into beer, it could save you as much as $15 every time you go to brew a new batch.
2. Bottle Your Beer in Soda Bottles
Screw top soda bottles AKA PET bottles function just as well as beer bottles when it comes to storing your beer. They are strong enough to withstand the pressure from the carbonation process and can save a lot of time and money when it comes to capping. Whenever you finish off a bottle of Coke, just wash out the bottle and store it somewhere clean for the next time you home brew. You'll be helping the environment too!
