Coopers APA for free from the Bottle O

[Scottie]

Hi Guys & Gals

 

I'm sitting back enjoying my latest beer that was brewed using Coopers Commercial yeast and thinking how much it cost me [unsure].

An economic lesson for you to share with your better half when justifying a spend on Coopers Australian Pale Ale at the Bottle Shop.

 

Coopers longnecks $55 a dozen (Okay so you mainlanders can get them from Dan's for $47)

White Labs WLP009 yeast $12 a vile.

640ml home brew bottles $15 a dozen.

 

So

Buy the dozen long necks, re-culture the yeast from three of them (four times) and when you've drank them add them to your bottle stocks for refilling.

 

$55 - $48 - $15

 

I actually end up in the black by $8.

 

Mainlanders can claim a benefit of $17

 

A down payment on some quality homebrew supplies [w00t].

 

That's gotta be the easiest sell to the Missus or Hubby
