So if the table showing the price in the UK is per bottle, the prices are about the same. Or am I reading that wrong?

So in the US, 23s to 31s for the equivalent of a 40s quarter of malt. With maize and rice, it's 3 cwt to the quarter. So 34s 6d for the equivalent amount of rice to a quarter of malt, 24s to 34s 6d for maize.<br /><br />In the UK, maize was way cheaper than malt: 24s compared to 59s-68s for malt. Sugar was much closer, but stil a little bit cheaper on average: 58s-60s.Ron Pattinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095189986589865751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-68266172718199644862015-01-30T04:47:54.780-08:002015-01-30T04:47:54.780-08:00If I am reading your table on production costs for...If I am reading your table on production costs for ingredients, adjuncts like corn sugar and grit were a bit more expensive than malt, so I wonder where the thing about using them to make beer cheaper to brew came from?Alistair Reecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929927359428659775noreply@blogger.com
