Are there cost advantages to homebrewing vs buying craft stuff or is it purely a hobby thing? Seems like you’d have to do quite a bit to recoup the cost of all the supplies. ---

Purely for awesome fun. Over time there may be advantages but I don’t think that any one who home-brews does it to save $$. ---

^ It’s actually a friend’s setup, we just use my garage a lot since he doesn’t have one and his operation has grown too much to do inside his house. In terms of cost I think it would take a lot of frat boy levels of drinking to pay off all the shit he has. The 13.5% Belgian we made last year was phenomenal though and on par with many of the best Belgian’s I’ve had from Premier. The funny part was to get to that level of alcohol without over stressing the yeast we had to use candi sugar. We made our own and it comes out on trays that you then break. Had it been blue instead of brown it would have looked just like Walt’s Blue Sky. ![http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tJT5eHkGuhA/T8JKF_CrziI/AAAAAAAAAUk/ZVd_2m1yxvo/s1600/CandiSugar.jpg](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tJT5eHkGuhA/T8JKF_CrziI/AAAAAAAAAUk/ZVd_2m1yxvo/s1600/CandiSugar.jpg) ---

I’m considering a cooler mash tun. Some people use crazy mash tuns. One guy uses an old bottling bucket, wrapped in bubble wrap and a sleeping bag, with a stainless pasta collander and a bag on the inside of the spout. Total cost, around $6 lol ---

We have had great luck with it. Even on the 5deg brew days this winter, the mash only dropped a few degrees over the hour. ---
