Id say they're flogging their "premium"(top of the range) recipe
5kg DME, 50g POR hops and dry yeast :lol:
Horrendously expensive I think - it would be less costly to head straight to the bottlo and buy 6 boxes of beer.........$250 per 6 cases = $41.66 a box... :huh: Of course you don't get to do the brew which I suppose is the point, but I still think it's very pricey for what it is.......
As an equivalent comparison, $250 = fermenter & airlock + hydrometer plus $200 worth of ingredients, which by my calcs ( kit brewing) makes over 300 litres of beer.........and that would be allowing $40-50 for hops etc to improve the kit brew....
But then I suppose it's all about the experience and catering for those who only want to do it once for a fun outing with the mates...
Don't forget all the 'other' costs at home ... gas, electricity, water, detergent, sanatiser, caps, priming sugar ... having said that though home brewing will always come out apparently cheaper than BoP or buying commercial beer until you factor in your time. While it's a hobby I'm happy to say I can brew beer at less than $1 a bottle; if I had to factor in say 5 hours for a (mash) brew day, even at minimum wage, it would become border line at best.
