I found large jugs of agave nectar

[Brewman_Jax]

at my health food store, they have 5 Kg (11.5 lbs.) size. There's a lot one can do with that much agave, not just brewing. :9

1. sounds vaguely dirty

}(

How much $$ ?

2. What were you thinking?

what do you think this is, the Lounge? :evilgrin:

Retail price is $48.99

3. Is that a better deal

than the little 11 oz bottles?

I'm having a hard time with math this morning. :P

I love agave syrup, btw. I use it almost exclusively.

4. I've not seen the 11 oz bottles

but the 23.5 oz bottles cost $6.89. Crunching the numbers, the smaller bottle costs $4.69/lb, the large jug costs $4.26/lb. You save 9% getting the large jug. Since you use agave exclusively, the large jug would be worth it. :thumbsup:

6. our co op sells it by the ounce

at $.24 an ounce, which comes out to $5.64 and I can use the same bottles over. I use it for everything too.

7. What is the advantage of Agave?

I am not familiar with it.

8. It's supposed to be because

of the lower glycemic hit mostly but looks like it has it's drawbacks, too. Anything good always does.
