Title: [GAUGING INTEREST] Homebrewed craft beer
Post by: dave00 on April 26, 2017, 01:37:38 PM
Hello fellas  :)
as from the title, i started homebrewing a while ago and i'm here to check if there is some interest on beer here in the forum
Please note, this is mainly for EU users, i don't know if i can ship alcohol to USA or other places but i might check if asked  ;)
I plan to offer standard 0.5 Liter or 33cl bottles of unfiltered and bottle fermented beer, tracked shipping with 3-5 day delivery for added peace of mind  :D
Different styles will be available in the coming future

Talking about the beer itself i'm not the king of all homebrewers but i brew a good beer enjoyed by relatives/parents/friends  8)

Curious to hear your opinions

Hello there, nice to hear that someone can actually brewed beer and want to share it. :)

I am not such a beer fan but i would like to try what you made off.
Can you share with us some pics, what incridients you use or some details about it? Ofc the price it's a factor too, that we should know...

As long the bottles, i think that 0.33lt is the most common and "easy going" bottle/can.
Waiting for an update, thanks in advance Op. 8)

Thanks for the kind answer  :)
I'll provide pics in the upcoming days since it is in the last days of bottle fermentation, expect them around the 30th of april, i'd like to provide a good quality photo  ;)
regarding the ingredients it's quite simple water, yeast, hops and malt (can be made gluten free if required), this batch is a "Lager" type
regarding the bottles right now i've used 0.5 bottles since drinking less than a medium beer is an insult to beer itself  ;D
But i'm already considering to bottle the next batch in 0.33 bottles.

Regarding the price in my city 0.33 bottles of craft beer goes for around 5 euros, so i'm thinking to provide it at 4.5 euros per 0.5 liter per bottle of lager beer, sounds fair to me.
Thoughts, opinions etc are always appreciated  :)

Very good idea, a friend of mine brews craft beer at home too, not for sale but for personal usage  ;D

He is in kinda a club for beerbrewers and they brew special beers too.
I once bought a "4pack" of four different flavoured beers as a present (4x0,33l) and those were 12€, so thats a price I found fair

One thing you should mention as a downside of home brewed beer is that it will expire much faster (please correct me if I am wrong).

Regards and best of luck!

I don't sell them too usually  ;D
but as a bitcoin lover i thought, let's give it a try, i'll provide all infos once posted the pic of the beer, but yes non pasteurized beer lasts a year more or less.
In my home wayyyyy less than that  ;D

The price is not bad for a home made beer, i don't know though about shipping methods and costs. I guess it wont be cheap...
Maybe if you send them as a bulk but how many you will sell? If the price remains in these levels, i can pre-order a case! ;D

I can't wait to see the pics of your product!  :P

Well, for a package of 6 bottles sent via courier it should be around 15 euros more or less, delivered through UPS standard

Little update: still labeling the bottles, beer has been tested after 15 days since bottled, carbonated but still missing flavour, need some more time
Sorry for the wait but i prefer to offer a good product instead of a bad one which still needs some rest

So 30€ (little more, little lees don't hurt that much) for two packs, you can count me in from now. :)
You do the right thing and wait, that's the proper way.
Besides the good things, need their time to be good... ;)

Thanks for your trust, anyway i would like to communicate that shipping prices can vary in different countries, so i'll try to get a nice tiny box to lower them as much as possible  :)
