Cheap Homebrew?

[ginzo]

How many of you got into the hobby of making your own homebrew and spirits under the assumption that it is cheaper to make your own - maybe even convinced your spouses of that - and, after buying and making the equiptment - and buying more equiptment have really yet to break even?

Personally, I am not a big drinke/ If i have two beers at a party that is a lot for me. I do it for the joy of doing something not everyone is into - and, it takes up time otherwise spent on the street causing trouble or chasing women.
