Ok, now you've got my attention on proper brewing rather than simply using malt kits

Aside from equipment costs, what is the cost/pint of beer brewed using grains etc?

I have just worked out my costs.....
Good quality Malt kit $28 = $0.78/pint based on 36 pints drinkable

I know home brewing isn't all about cost necessarily but I'm interested in understanding whether it actually is cheaper using grains in the long run.
