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.
Same here! I even found most my stuff second hand off craigslist / Facebook marketplace. So far have made a great peanut butter porter, coconut milk stout and hefeweizen.
Yeah you need a bucket, an airlock, some bottles, a few hand tools, and some wort and yeast.
Years ago I started to get into it, and looked up how to make beer on Youtube. First hit I got was this guy walking into this industrial kitchen-like room with lots of stainless steel equipment and grinding some wheat. And I'm like "well I guess this is beyond my reach." Then I found a guy called Craigtube and it's like "Oh yeah, this is doable."
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.
