the only way you could make it worth your while is to go in with other guys. group beer making. Then you don’t have to drink all of it yourself. naturally you should chip in proportionally to how much you drink.
Good point. I think what I may do is get the thing started and get my adult son involved with his friends. They are all responsible outdoor playing and fun loving guys that enjoy an occasional beer. After they are involved, it won’t cost me a dime. ;>)
