Difficult decision.

I offer my services as a taster. I'll send you a delivery address.

(Please note that I'm not a professional and may need to sample several times before I can reach a decision. A few crates of each should do the trick. Sidebyside will provide a second opinion.... oh wait... he doesn't drink... I'll take his and try again to see if I reach the same opinion. Helping people like this gives me an enormous sense of wellbeing.)

:cheers:

How much does a pint work out at?

Assuming you're just buying consumables?

about 45p, and i can get a 40 pint kit done in about 30 mins :cheers:
but you can get it a lot lower if you can be bothered growing hops etc and spending a full day making it, a guy at work reckons he is down to 18p
