That's an amazing total!

By using this page you can work out the duty that's been 'avoided' by home brewing!

I split the numbers into 4000 gallons of beer and 2724 of wine (haven't added up the totals in the thread, just guesstimated) and using the default settings of £2.95 a pint and £4.99 a bottle of wine the forum has avoided £737,152 of beer tax and £1,631,188 of wine tax!

Those numbers are so staggering that I don't know if I've made a mistake somewhere. Maybe someone who is more mathematically minded wants to work it out?

Maybe we're the reason the country is still in recession!! :lol:

 

[Vossy1]

We're almost there :party: ....roll up roll up...get your brews in :lol:
Scary figures bursar...lets hope the tax man aint looking :shock:

 

[RobWalker]

Baz is doing one too. Provided you started the pre-ferment stage in 2012, mashing fruit, mashing beer, etc we will call it a 2012 brew. :)

Who wants to head the new topic? :p

Still one hour and 23 minutes left.

I'm tempted to whip up a WOW so I can have the last gallon of the year, or would that be cheating?
