Some more thoughts on the brewing license.
I have not become discouraged at all, but it showed me that I need to be more thoughtful and serious about my plans.
My original thought was, “can I get a license to be able sell my beer for fun?” I would be willing to spend a little just be able to sell some beer here and there. Once you add in the cost and details of a license, you really need to sell a certain amount to break even. You have rent, utilities, taxes, and insurance in addition to the cost of making the beer. At that point, it becomes more than just a hobby and turns into a business. At that point I think you need to make sure it turns a profit (even if it is a small one.)
With that thought, I turned my attention to what it would take to put an actual small business together. I know I don’t like to take too much risk, but realized that I will have to take some with this idea. If I am going to do that, I need to make sure that I have done my homework so the risk is manageable. I also realize that I work slowly due to the potential risk, but I am very grateful to my friends who keep pushing me to move forward.
