All Grain Brewing Cost

Just brewed a CitraSim Imperial IPA and I wanted to show the cost of brewing an all-grain batch

  • 12 lbs of 2 row @ $.90/lb = $10.80
  • .75 lb of Crystal 40L @ $1.89/lb = $1.42
  • .50 lb of Carapils @ $1.89/lb = $.95
  • 1.5 lbs of Trader Joe's Turbinado sugar = $3.49
  • 2 oz of Citra hops = $3.95
  • 2 oz of Simcoe hops =$3.95
  • 1 package of US-05 dry yeast = $4.50
Total = $29.06

So 5 gals of beer for ingredient cost of $29.06, not a bad deal. Ballast Point brewery sells their basic beers for $70 for a 5-gal keg.
