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
