🍺 Homebrew Beer

Brew a batch,
bank the six-pack money.

Homebrew lands around a dollar a bottle — craft beer is closer to three. See how many batches it takes for a kit to pay for itself.

1 Your beer habit

Counted against your at-home cost for the whole projection.

3 Grain, hops & yeast

One ingredient kit brews a full batch — about 50 bottles. Pick a style or enter your kit price and how many bottles it yields.

4 Bottling & CO₂

Reusable bottles cost almost nothing per fill; kegging adds a little CO₂ per pour.

5 Pick your homebrew kit

From a starter fermenter to an all-in-one electric all-grain system — this sets the upfront cost.
