How much!

[Sean_Mc]

Thought I'd do some WOW so popped into town to Wilko's for some yeast.
Having a nose around I notice the price of Kit beers. Jesus H when and why did they go up so much?

Sorry its probably been discussed in the past, but a couple of years back 2010 Tom Caxton's was £7.50 its now £15......hope it tastes better for that price :shock:

The price of barley went through the roof as lots of wheat crops failed. The price of wheat went up as everyone wants bread (not beer...weird :wha: ). Farmers started frowing wheat so less barley was grown - forcing the price of barley up. Maltsters had to go cap and hand and offer farmers contracts to grow malting barley. Now, for a long time maltsters were the ones who controlled the price they paid - now the boots on the other foot and they have to guarantee Farmers a price. On top of all that energy costs have gone up...

Thanks FB :thumb:

Obviously we all expect some price increases but for it to be doubled in such a short time is unexplainable

interesting stuff that farmbrew, never knew! makes me laugh that screamlead made up 10kg of malted barley or something for 9p in turkey :lol:

 

[screamlead]

LOL currently buying from local grain miller here @ 1tl per kg so 5kg is = to 1.73p
Thats about the cheapest i can get it now and its not bad as far as size and consistency goes, still a bit of stalks and muck in it but hey ho got 15kg on the go. 3rd lot ready to be dried out from today. :
