Someone i worked with a few years back had a friend who inherited an arable farm he said that he got thousands upon thousands before he even planted a seed.He had just bought a second hand subaru from him as he had just bought a new one what does that tell you.On the other hand i know a few hill sheep farmers who struggle.If you remember last year foot & mouth i think it was escaped from a government lab so they couldn't evport there lambs the government payed them half there value.Looks like the big arable farms get everything going & the little farmer gets the crumbs

Worked for ADAS (Part of MAFF) when I left Uni in North wales and a lot of our clients were Hill farmers, Christ those guys had a tough life . . . Remember Chernobyl? These guys couldn't transport or sell sheep for 5 years after that. . . . Even the fleeces had to be specially treated before they could be sold. . . .
New someone who shut down Wylfa nuclear power station walking in with a woolly that had been on the line when the cloud passed over and it rained
but thats another storyF*CKING European agriculturalists have screwed up again persuading the farmers to grow biofuel crops . . . look at all the money we'll give you to grow this stuff . . its much better than growing wheat or Barley . . . Shit thats only food stuff who needs that?

Prices are rising everywhere.
I remember paying $25 Australian (about 10 pounds) for a 25kg sack of aussie malt about 2 years ago.
Its nowdouble that.
For me to but the good imported english or german malt it costs about $80 australian/ bag or about 30 pounds your money. not to bad considering it gets shipped half way around he world.
Price of everything is going up........ but still a lot cheaper...... and betterthan buying beer

I'm working out my price per pint at around 22 - 26p per pint right now (depending on recipe) at today's prices. Most ingredients from Barley Bottom, some from the Hog's Back Brewery.BrewStew wrote:I guess i paid the price for impatience
still, i make out the two brews i've done so far from this sack to be 50p per pint so i'm still winning. just not winning as much as the 25p per pint i was brewing on last years malt.

Fair enough.
Last one I priced was Fuggin' Ale - 5Kg MO, 0.5Kg Crystal, 100g Fuggles, Protafloc, S-04 - came out at 26p per pint at 23L brew length, but didn't include leccy, water (no meter) or sanitiser.
I've got a solar electricity array, and it was a sunny day, so maybe I don't need to include the leccy! Sanitiser was household bleach (cheap) and a bit of WVP (expensive)
