Jim's Beer Kit

I'd agree about 60p per pint for ingredients. If you add in the cost of equipment though - Grainfather, corny kegs, fermentation vessels, CO2 regulators, CO2 cylinders, soda stream cylinders, pipework, shed etc etc, I reckon I'm currently looking at about £30 a pint. I might get it down below £1 if...

No Braumeister in that list?

Initially, I was blown away by Grainfather but have since come across alternatives that are cheaper (caveat emptor). Any tips or advice on what peop...

Guy [/quote] I brew on a Grainfather now. I have an old shower tray that the GF will sit in while brewing; above that will be a shelf for the HLT; above that will be an old cooker hood to extract the steam. Hopefully that will do the trick.
