So I'm the type of guy that if I'm gonna do something I'm gonna do it right or not at all. Go big or go home right?
As such I am inclined to buy a couple years worth of raw materials at one go and commit to learning how to brew for myself. After all it is only a matter of some education and meticulous attention to detail, I'm pretty sure thanks to resources available here I can figure it out.
On the one hand, if I don't get busted on the first shipment, my exposure will be extremely low going forward. On the other hand, if I do get stuck at customs or whatever, I can basically assume they will try a controlled delivery and charge me with intent due to quantity of materials right?
I like the idea of controlling the brewing process and knowing exactly what I'm using, except we don't always know for certain do we? It's possible a raws supplier could either intentionally or inadvertently (because they got screwed from higher up the chain) send you the wrong stuff or send you garbage altogether, right?
I also like the idea of controlling cost by being higher up the production line and dealing in bulk. I like the idea of being certain that my oils were produced correctly because I did it myself.
What do you guys think? Are all the Big Raw Guys overseas, forcing me to deal with customs, or are there raw suppliers who can help me avoid this issue?
What else am I missing?
For the record this is a purely theoretical discussion. I also have no interest in selling anything to anyone, even if I do end up with a shit-ton of materials on hand.
