No, instead my co-director Lasse and I have decided to startup a micro=20
brewery ourselves. It shall be named Miracle Breweries A/S, and Lasse=20
signed the contract for the equipment last week en Austria, so we =
should=20
be able to do test-brews sometime in April or May, we gather. We might=20
actually even end up being re-sellers of the equipment in Scandinavia.=20
That would be our first-ever product that we sell.
The capacity will be 300 liters (or three hecto liters, as they say in=20 the brewing business). It takes about 6-8 hours to make a brew. Then it =
has to be stored, etc., and that can take 6-10 weeks. We have initially =
three or four tanks for that purpose, each with six hecto liter = capacity.
You'll be pleased to know that Lasse did the calculation on costs -=20 excluding electricity, water and bottling, etc.:
Cost for brewing 3000 liters (yes, 3000, not 300) amounts to about 3000 =
kroner - so that's about 1 kroner per liter.
Out of those 3000 kroner, the 80 (eighty) is for materials (yeast, =
etc.)=20
and 2920 kroner is for the special tax on beer brewing. That's about =
97%=20
or more. Impressive, isn't it?
