I just got into home brewing over the last year. The process is a lot easier than expected. You can yield about 5 gallons of beer for about $40, USD. The initial start up cost to get the gear wasn't unreasonable either.

As a long time homebrewer, I'll just warn everyone here. Don't get into the hobby thinking you'll save money. You won't.

You have some pretty cheap ingredients. Beers I made were generally closer to $60.

Obviously different beers range in price, but most of the yeast and hops I have built up a stash on hand. Generally when I go to the store I only need the grains for the most part.
