Simple Ways to Save Money Homebrewing

As it is, home brewing is a much cheaper alternative to buying your beer at a store, but if you’re looking for even cheaper ways to brew beer at home, there are several things you can do. The biggest money savers are explained here.

Buy a used home brew kit

The biggest investment in home brewing is the initial home brew kit. This kit usually runs about 100 dollars but if you buy it used, for instance on eBay or from a friend, you can cut this investment in half.

Recycle bottles

Every beer bottle costs around a dollar if you decide to buy them at a beer-brewing retailer but you can completely avoid this charge if you just recycle your own bottles from previous beers you drank. Ask your family and friends to save their bottles and you will have enough to make your own batch in no time.

Grow your own hops

Growing your own hops will cut down on the ingredients cost and even give you some profit if you decide to sell the hops. I would recommend experimenting doing this for someone who has been brewing for years.

Make your own kits

Beer brewing retailers put kits together to save you the hassle of finding all the ingredients. However, the pre-made kits cost a dollar or two more than if you found the ingredients by yourself.

Use a U-brew facility

Check to see if there are any U-Brew facilities near you. They have all the necessary equipment and ingredients. You can use their place to create a beer, come back in 3 weeks to bottle, and then take it home with you. This is good if you want to brew once or twice but don’t want to buy a home brew kit.

Brew cheaper beers If you really don’t care about which beer you make, buy a cheaper home brew kit. Certain types of beer such as Gluten free beers or some types of ales are less money than other beers.

If money is really an issue, some of the above tricks can help you brew beer for less. No matter how you look at it though, if you brew beer enough, it is definitely a money saver compared to buying it at the store.
