Brew #003: Muntons Continental Lager

I boiled the water for this batch. It's original gravity OG = 1.040
and after 6 days of fermentation at 28C it stopped at 1.010 which means that it's alcohol content is calculated at 4.7%.

This batch turned out fine and very drinkable. It was a bit darker than the Wheat Beer.

Munton's kit $22.00
Coopers Brewing Sugar $6.00
carbonation drops $4.00
caps $1.00

Total of $33 per 23L which makes about 69 x 330ml stubbies (5.8 dozen). If you pay around $18 per dozen for commercial beer, this would cost $103.

So, once I had aquired all the necessary equipment, it's costing me about a third the price of the of commercial beer.

$0.50 per 330ml stubbie vs $1.50 for commercial beer.
