Say NO to Extract Brewing - Brew a Bloody Good Beer at Home

The Crafty Brewer is every bit about All Grain Brewing.  In many countries around the world it is illegal to homebrew alcohol.  We are lucky here in Australia, that we have no restrictions on Brewing Bloody Good Beer at home.  

Cost Effectiveness

 Brewing with grain takes your homebrew beer to the next level, going from good beer (extract) to incredible beer (grain)!!  

From as little as $100-$150 you can set yourself up with the equipment you need. Most of the expensive items required, will already be, in and around your kitchen! 

All Grain Cost Savings

Not only does All Grain Brewing allow you to experiment with flavours, colour, aroma, bitterness and quantities, it is cheaper than extract brewing!

Cost Comparison:

Coopers Extract Bootleg Pale Ale Kit (23l) with Brew Enhancer Two costs approximately $32.  There aren't any dry hops included and just comes with Coopers standard yeast.  Whereas, The Crafty Brewer can supply all the ingredients for a similar ale (see Tropic Ale recipe below) with a premium yeast for under $28!

Don't get me started on beer prices from the bottle shop!!
