Running out of Glenlivet

[Zippy]

I've run out of that as well and until I get my next contract I won't be making the weekly drinks

That's a point. Anyone fancy a pint this week?

That's £3.34 per litre for a good quality 5.2% bitter. An equivalent kit will produce about 24 pints for about £24 (to include P+P or buying it locally) so about £1.75 per litre.

I reckon the Wherry SY01 mentioned finishes at about 3.4% and I get those kits for about £22 and fill 38 or 39 500ml bottles out of it. So that comes in at about £1.14 per litre for a good quaffable session ale.

Add to that a couple of hours for making the kit and bottling it. Plus some pennies for the space it takes up in a warm place or add some electricity cost for a heating belt.

But then you suddenly have a barrel or a couple of crates of conveniently handy ale sitting in the corner.

And so, as it's there, you drink twice as much. Total saving = nil

Counter-intuitively, because it is there, I drink less.

And there is your custom title, "Controlled like"
