So, as I am advancing in my brewing I have BeerSmith, and I am updating all the prices of the products to match my LHBS. I was disappointed however, that BeerSmith does not provide a cost analysis tool, for equipment, electricity or propane, or to see the marginal cost of my equipment decrease over time.
Let me just state, I got into home brewing as a hobby, I like cooking and I have found home brewing to be relaxing... not just because of the alcohol.
But as a software engineer (and someone who has a fixation with numbers) and someone who has a hobby of economics etc, I was wondering if anyone had an excel sheet or a program that factored all this in before I made one myself.
Because I would just like to see what has served me well over time, because I am looking to start a microbrewery in the next 5-8 years or so, and I just wanted to get a baseline for my costs on a personal scale because then at a microbrew my projections wont be worse than my small batch home brew due to economies of scale.
Thanks for the input in advanced.
