12 quid doesn't buy you much anymore, but it does get you this...

I'm all about reducing my spending, especially on highly taxed items. 

Now I don't drink much anyway but I do enjoy a beer on a Friday night. A cold one or two really hits the spot. 

I've just got back into making beer kits. I understand that it's not really homebrew, but it kind-of is without buying expensive equipment. 


The kits are about £12, you need a kilo of sugar as well and some simple beer making equipment and empty bottles. It makes approximately 40 pints, that's just under three crates of beer! I was dubious as to how it would taste but so far I've tried a Mexican beer and I have a IPA on the go at the moment ready to try in a week or two. The Mexican beer tasted amazing, everyone who has tried it has loved it and asked for a few bottles. 


So for value I'd recommend giving a beer kit a go if you fancy a cheap tipple (about 40p a pint). A kit should last me months!

  1. I would call that a win/win, taste and price.

    1. You are! You loose ten points! Lol!
      Good for Christmas parties as well! I've got a lot of wine brewing at the moment so think that should be good for parties as well hopefully if we can go to them depending on the old corona situation.

  3. Rather than give away all your bottles, you should offer to teach a beer making class!

    1. This is only simple beer making. I have a friend that does it properly and between us we have started a group to try to share kit and knowledge. Only a whatsap group at the moment as so hard to meet up with restrictions.

  4. Kev, it's a great hobby and allows you to experiment with different beers you would not otherwise get to taste.

    1. Yes! And so cheap. I've started making wine again, something I used to do lots of many years ago. Should be fun!
