In a never ending attempt to improve my brewery, I began converting my old propane system to an electric/hardpiped 1 bbl system. Well I'm almost done with the upgrade and I will have a basic control panel controlled, clean in place, temperature controlled , one barrel system that I will usually use to make 25 gallon batches. I thought that it would be fun to categorize all expenses as "Hobby" in my financial software. At the end of the day, I realized that I had spent much more than I estimated. Those little trips to the HD for copper pipe and fittings, propane for torches and flux coupled with my upgraded pots and electrical doohickies for the control panel had ended up costing over a thousand dollars. I will have to make a lot of beer to break even.
My advise...Never track your costs. It doesn't matter because you're going spend it anyway. Putting it in a category just makes it easier for SWMBO to cypher your code! :cross:
