An Easy & Fun Way to Save Money at University
A Key part of a University Students Life
If you are at university, then there is one thing you are
going to need to learn if you don’t already.
That’s how to be sociable.
A huge part of university life is living away from home,
learning how to make new friends and learning how to live your own life and
make your own decisions.
A huge part of socialising at university revolves around
booze. Whether it be a the local pub,
the students union, in the halls of residence or in your shared house.
However, with the student fees, cost of living, cost of
rent, etc rising, it seems that the social element is suffering a little. Or if the social part of your uni life is
booming, your pocket is probably always empty when it comes to clothes, hair
cuts, shavers and deodorant. Lol
For years it has been well known that you can save huge
amounts of money by brewing your own lager and beer at home.
For the price of a lager kit and 1kg of sugar you can make
amazing lager in just a couple of weeks.
A Coopers Australian Lager kit costs just £9.95 + 1kg of
sugar (at Asda that just 78p) to make 40 pints of fantastic lager, very similar
to Fosters works out at just 26p a pint (568ml).
Where as a 440ml can of Fosters costs you £0.75 if you can
get it on a great deal, which works out as £0.97 a pint.
You can save a huge amount over the course of the term.
OK, there in an initial outlay for the equipment, but all of
that will cost you about £30 (including your first lager kit) and then all you
have to do is save up a few old lemonade bottles to put your brewed lager into
and in a couple of weeks you have amazing lager that’s saved you lots and lots.
Homebrew has changed a lot in the last few years, the
manufacturing process of beer and lager kits have come a very long way and now
making homebrew from kits is easy and more rewarding than ever as you end up
with a real pint that tastes just like you get in a pub!
It doesn’t take up any space either. Just put it all in a bucket, leave it in the
corner of your room to bubble away, then bottle it, leave it for another week
(or month if you can) then pop open a bottle and enjoy.
But remember to drink responsibly. Homebrew can be more potent than the beers
you are used to drinking, especially if you accidentally add some more sugar ;)
And once you get the hang of brewing, you can start to
experiment, using brewing sugar, spraymalts, hops, adding treacle and of course
trying the myriad of different lager kits out there.
So what are you waiting for?
Get brewing!

Homebrew Wine Isn't What it Used to Be!
If you were born in the 70’s, I’m sure you can remember a demi-john bubbling away on the sideboard with some weird looking and smelling concoction brewing away for months.
There are people out there that still make peapod, banana, elderflower and many other types of homemade wine, but the market is changing.
With the increase of duty on beer, lager, cider and wine, people are turning back to homebrew. Only they are finding there have been some huge changes in the last 30 years. Even in the last 10 years, there have been huge advances in the way homebrew kits are made.
In Canada, the duty on wine is so much that people hire homebrew shops to make the wine for them, there is a loop hole where the purchaser of the wine kit can help open the packet with the brewer and then leave the rest to the brewer and in a months time, return to the brewer and help them bottle the last bottle of wine, then take it all home. And for a fraction of the price if they were to buy it in a supermarket. This has caused the homebrew industry to take a huge leap forward in quality.
Did you know, most of the wine you buy from a supermarket is actually brewed and bottled here in the UK?
The grapes are picked abroad, crushed, squeezed and the juice concentrated. It is then shipped to the UK and brewed and bottled. Amazing!
Well you too can get that juice (only in smaller quantities). And with a little basic knowledge, a couple of buckets, a bit of tube, some steriliser and about 2 hours (in total) of your time, you can have 30 bottles of fantastic wine in just 21 days. Some kits are even faster – Some are ready to drink in just 7 days!!!
A good wine kits costs approx £50 and makes 30 bottles of wine. That works out at around £1.66 a bottle. In the supermarket an equivalent quality bottle of wine would cost you £6! That’s a huge saving – Over £130!!!
Ok, so the wine kit costs you say £50, the equipment needed costs another £50, that £100, over the course of just 30 bottles you’ve still saved £30.
And even better – IT’S FUN!!!
