In response to "the whole point of a Q&D is to find out how ridiculous of an idea it is in the first place, without even needing to get to that point. -- nm" by znufrii

If your assumptions are wrong or incomplete, quick and dirty math tells you nothing about how ridiculous the idea is. -- nm

if it's ridiculous under the most generous of assumptions, it's not likely to get any less ridiculous if those assumptions are refined with an eye - znufrii Mar 29, 11:19 14
- I think the assumption that you need to do it full time (match current income) - TWuG Mar 29, 11:23 13
  - I already do it as a hobby. - znufrii Mar 29, 11:25 12
    - You could do it as a business. You probably just can't run it out of your home. - TWuG Mar 29, 11:31 6
      - yeah, capital investments aren't even in the picture. - znufrii Mar 29, 11:35 4
        
        and if you lose one batch, whoops. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 11:36 3
        
        which reminds me, you have no AC in your house. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 11:37 2
        
        well, that too... :) -- nm - znufrii Mar 29, 11:38 1
        
        that's another capital investment you will need. - loosilu Mar 29, 11:39
      - this. you have to scale up and automate. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 11:32
    - when we did the math, we figured out that our homebrew was not much cheaper than retail beer. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 11:26 4
      - that's pretty much what it works out to for me currently as well -- nm - znufrii Mar 29, 11:29 3
        
        therefore how do you make a profit? -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 11:30 2
        
        well, I wouldn't likely be buying my ingredients retail if I were doing it at that scale, would I? - znufrii Mar 29, 11:34 1
        
        that's not enough to make it worth while. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 11:34
