Its a bit more than that, $45.44 per litre for packages under 48 litres.
Totally agree, i treat brewing as a hobby regardless of the costs really. Some people go and buy an old commodore, spend $15,000+ on wheels, paint job, engine modifications blablabla but at the end of the day its still a commodore. Yet to the individual they don't feel the need to justify it because its their hobby etc etc. Everyone's perception of 'value' is different.Mr Wibble said:I don't see the need to justify it.
You don't justify the cost of fishing gear against the cost of buying fish.
(which for me is probably a good thing)
Yep Correct for over 3.5% Alcohol and for those who want to know more:itmechanic said:Its a bit more than that, $45.44 per litre for packages under 48 litres.

And no, it's not a typo and they're not referring to bartending by jolly nautical types.

Nope, cider is classed as a fruit wine and falls under the wine equalisation tax. The page is down right now so I can't get the link to the exact amount but it is actually based on the sale price rather than the absolute volume of alcohol. Cider makers generally pay way less excise.maxim0200 said:Yep Correct for over 3.5% Alcohol and for those who want to know more:http://law.ato.gov.au/atolaw/view.htm?Docid=PAC%2FBL030002%2F1&PiT=99991231235958 The screwed part is that cider is taxed way more:"Other excisable beverages not exceeding 10% by volume of alcohol @ $76.98 per litre of alcohol"
But you have to brew to be a cheap arse accountant. Going 2 months without a brew day, and buying Vale is not cost effective :lol:Lord Raja Goomba I said:Accountant and brewer here.
I brew to save money on excellent beer.
It's probably why I ended up going ghetto ans cheap. Amortising the cost of my two pots and the lauter over one batch of beer is cheaper than mainstream craft, let alone over the life of the items' use.
Excise is the big killer for commercial beers.
It's getting closer to 5 months. Just can't seem to find the time for it.LagerBomb said:But you have to brew to be a cheap arse accountant. Going 2 months without a brew day, and buying Vale is not cost effective :lol:
