How It Works
The cost per bottle calculator uses the following formula: cost per bottle = (grain cost + hops cost + yeast cost) / bottles per batch. The grain cost is calculated by multiplying the grain weight by the grain cost per pound. The hops cost is calculated by multiplying the hops weight by the hops cost per ounce. The yeast cost is a fixed value. The result is then compared to the commercial bottle price.
