re: Homebrewing: Supplies/ Starter Kits

To get started nicely, with a glass fermenter and a kit to brew your first batch, I think you can probably do it for under $150.

Typical starter equip kit: ~$75
Glass Carboy: ~$35
Ingredient Kit: ~$35

Some of the items can carry a heavy shipping fee. It might be worth paying a couple dollars more locally and saving on shipping.
