Oh, hell, not this debate again.... please don't let this turn into another debate.

To start it off, the guy forgot to include the ever-debated "what's your time worth" cost.

I'll keep brewing though.

When you mix up a batch of beer, it needs to ferment for a week or two, and this bucket makes it quite easy. You simply put your unfermented beer in the bucket, put the bubbler in the little hole on top of the bucket (the bubbler allows gas to escape without contaminating the beer), and let it sit. When you’re ready to drink the beer, just open the spigot and drink a glass - the hose can make it easier to pour

Yea - he forgot about a lot of things - extra electricity, fuel, refrigeration costs, divorce papers, alcoholics anonymous, health club memberships after you have gained 200 pounds and the average bottle of beer YOU drink after giving 50% away to friends.
