On April 1, a tax increase on alcohol known as the “beer tax” will come into effect, meaning Canadians may soon pay more for their beverage of choice.

    placing absolutely zero value on your time

    I see you’ve met my boss!

    Is it 10 active hours or a 10 hour period during which you nanny an ongoing process? I started turning 2 days a month into bread baking/meat smoking/laundry day. Each job only needs an hour each of active time but spread out over 4-6hrs. I could totally squeeze in an additional project…

      Brew day is ~8 hours, I would say it’s half nannying, there’s usually 2 hours where you can full on walk away, but the rest is either active cleaning or you have to press a button or stir a thing every 10 minutes so you are glued to your pot

      Bottling is another ~2 hours or so (sanitizing bottles and capping them, cleaning the used fermenter) - you can cut this down to half an hour if you forego bottling, but that’s another $1500 in capital costs for kegging equipment

        Hmm, that would be a big jump in the workload but it would fit with the twice a month schedule. I’ll have to take some time before I grok this problem.

      Oh no, your boss values your time very highly. They just want to keep all of that value for themself.
