That's an ambitious claim.

You wouldn't be able to produce something to specifications in mass quantities as well as someone who does it for a living

But we're talking about actually creating or emulating recipes in small batches of brew

There's no reason why you CAN'T make something good on a personal use level

In fact, anyone who has done any hobby would know that a lot of the time it is garage-sized operations that produce the most desirable equipment

Fair. My wording was not as exact as it should have been.

More precisely, it requires a lot of time, testing and effort to make something great. Now, if you want to take a well-worn recipe and replicate, sure, you can do that. Perhaps that's what dead man wants. It still isn't easy, but it's much more foolproof.

But going beyond that is difficult. It's not about the size of the operation as much as the investment in time, effort and capital (of various types). Very few people do great things on whims.

Also, Split Eight, you are being flagged for incorrect use of "u wot mate."
