Generally speaking, no. If you’re going big time, large batch all grain, it could be very cost effective. In 5 gallon partial extract scale, no.
Eh, capital cost is low entry and if you have a decent homebrew store near you(like in Seattle) you can make it "relatively" cost effective. I think I ran the #'s on my setup once and it came out to between $0.75-$1.00 per beer not including my $500 or so capital invested(which gets a better ROI with every batch obviously). Not super cheap but considering your quality can be closer to that of a good microbrew once you get good at it not so bad. Obviously, this doesn't include your opportunity cost or time value of you labor but it's akin to cooking at home, you do it because you also enjoy the process. Lots of Bot afternoon's spent at home brewing beer while watching our? doogs lose to Cal. Also, you guysm will be pretty stoked if I show up with the kegerator to our next Holiday Bowl tailgate. Coldest beer in the lot!

Holiday Bowl tailgate?
Mighty optimistic of you
Don't worry Jimmy Lakes four year plan to lose a holiday bowl is under way.
Yeah this is bad. I've pitched yeast onto cider, mead, beer and wine more than 1000 times, and look at me now... Ts&Ps to @Swaye
@UW_Doog_Bot - the AHA homebrew conference (soon to be cancelled for '20) will be in SD next year (sshh it's a secret!) - you should go sometime if you haven't done so yet.
still no sports?...ok, back to my furloughed engineer day drinking Cheers--
I hope you like em buddy. Tat has got to be my favorite brand. I think one of those was Cigar Afficianados highest rated cigar of 2018. Absolutely lovely top shelf cigars.
Haven't done their amber kit. I'm sure it will be good though. Depending on how chlorinated your water is (on the rez? lol), consider buying a few gallons of RO water to brew with.
At the very least you can boil all the tap water in the pot. It should get rid of most of the chlorine that way.

Grant Swaye the serenity to accept the things he cannot change,
The courage to change the things he can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.

Then we will talk turkey. Made a lot of home brew, me.
