I would figure at least 60 dollars per sqft. Rember you are adding foundation, roof, doors and windows which tend to be some of the bigger cost of plain square footage(no plumbing cabinets etc) also you will have to finish the existing structure, new floor coverings back to the next room...

There I fixed it for ME

the style guidelines call for 2.1 to 2.6 volumes which is between 3.2 and 4.5 ozs of corn sugar in a 5 gal batch

yep more sugar = more carbonation According to brewsmith you have about 3.1 volumes of CO2. The kit was probably set up for 2.5 to 2.8 volumes.

I am east of Raleigh. I think it takes the good old black soil of the coastal plain (black jack they call it) to see more consistency in the large size that is a little further east of here, but it does seem to like the heavy clay soil around here as well. I have not worked in it since my teen...

I don't know about the variety you have but it is all around you here in NC. I have litterally been up to my armpits in it. Flue cured is grown here with the leaves picked progressively as they ripen (turn light green to pale yellow). Then hung in a bulk barn to dry slowly over several days in...

I am thinking about starting to wash yeast or at least repitching some batches on an existing yeast cake. I have always just dumped everything from the boil kettle into the fermenter including the pellet hop sludge. For those of you that harvest/ repitch is it better to use a hop bag and filter...

Can someone recommend a good basic beginers winemaking book. Kinda like a "How to Brew" for winemaking? Thanks

Yep that's us. The AB pale ale kit is the bomb I have to make it about every other batch (I have converted it to a AG version) to keep SWMBO happy.

okay, I thought you might have added the priming sugar when you moved to the bottling bucket.

+1 to wyazz's post. I have used American Brewmasters kits for some time and they are great with better instructions than most kits. If you transfered to your bottling bucket 4 days prior to bottling how did you add your priming sugar?

Welcome to your new obssesion and good to see more nc'ers on HBT.

He probably just needs to wipe his top lip. :D

29) not noticing that the spigot on the bottling bucket is open when racking to it Come to think of it that makes me mad too I hate to waste beer

let me know when you guys do this, I have some things I been thinking about getting from them.

Crap now the pond is gonna freeze over. :D

Walker is the only person in Cary whose water bill has actually increased after installing a rain barrel :D

+ 100 I mix up some star-san, about 1.5 gals, on bottling day and dunk the parts of the tree in it, use about a pint in the vinarator, put a pint in a spray bottle and save a gallon for use on brewing day.
