Title says it all. A sixer costs 12-15 dollars these days. I just brewed 5 gallons for under $30.
I’ve been doing this shit for decades. If you’re curious how to get into it (hint: it’s easy) I can point you in the right direction.

Large stainless steel pot (10 gal), mesh bag, heat source that can bring 7 gallons of water up to boil. For fermentation: plastic carboys/buckets. Then either bottles (growers or regular beer bottles) or a corny keg.
Nothing expensive. Most of it can be sourced second hand. Sometimes free.
How do you usually go about sourcing bottles?
3 ways:
You buy beer, and you keep the bottle or growler. Or, have friends buy beer, and you keep the bottle or growler. Or find em on marketplace.
When I used to bottle (20+ years ago) I liked those swing top sealing bottles.
