[Presto]

Bumping this old thread.
I jumped on the U-brew bandwagon. We always talk about it, but we never do it. Finally, my brother-in-law just dropped in on a U-brew place in Langley, and got a batch going for $57 (taxes in). Yesterday, we went and canned his beer. It was $17 extra for the cans. All you do is fill them up, put the lid on, and a machine fastens them together. It took about 10 minutes with one person filling and another attaching the lid.

Anyways, I found the process really easy. I placed an order for another batch, and it'll be ready at the end of the month. Cream ale was the first batch, which tastes pretty good. The second batch will be a red ale, like Rickards. We ended up with over 70 cans of brew. We're going to go with glass bottles for the next batch. They can be washed and reused, and that'll cut down the cost per beer, significantly.
