This math has been done before.
Dollar-wise it is cheaper to brew your own. However, not including the cost of the brewing equipment and supplies the most expensive part of this hobby is our time. However #2, it is a hobby and hobbies are about relaxation time...you can't put a price on it.
Most of my brew supplies run about $15-17.00 a batch for 37 - 0,5 liter bottles. I drink a lot of Hefe Weizen. Let's use $2.00 a bottle as our starting point. At 37 bottles that's $74. Minus the $17 for supplies, that's a savings of $57.00 per batch. Not a bad return on investment if you ask me. :rockin:
