I've set up a digital control system for the brewing, which was a fun process control project. It also makes brew day REALLY easy, and not very messy at all. I'll grant that my beer isn't always as good as the commercial stuff, but it's fun to have unusual stuff on tap -- I make a mango habanero wheat, and a smoked ale, and a gose, all of which are kind of obscure and hard to find, even here in the PNW.
(shrug) It definitely falls more into the "because it's fun to do" than the "because it saves me time and money" camp, but given the assumption that I'm going to drink beer anyway, it's a super low cost hobby.
