True cost of Homebrew - The Brewing Network.com

I've been brewing 6 months now, started with a few extract kits, then jumped into all grain very quickly.

I was wondering tonight how much I spent to date making my own beer and trying to save money, pasted below is the list.

The bottom line, is just short of $1200.00. Sure adds up quickly

Im a long way from the $50 Mr beer kit that I was originally going to purchase
