No.... 3 days for DH is not enough for this beer. 7 days is better.
As to your costs, it should be a lot less than store bought. It cost me $49 to brew 11 gallons, which is in the $.40/12 oz bottle range.
I'll go for 7 days, but the 3 days came from this discussion: http://www.thebrewingnetwork.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=23265&start=0
My cost, according to Beersmith at my per oz prices, is $44 for a 5G batch plus tax, so $47. This time I bought bottled drinking water, so add another 8 bucks, but in the future I don't know if I'll do that (I usually use tap water, but I decided to try it this time. For $.16/beer, I'll probably go back to tap water).
Here's my breakdown:
Hops $14.50 ($2.15/oz)
Grain $22.94
Yeast $6.50
Water $8.00
Total $51.94
Total + Tax $55.58
Shipping = free since BrewMaster's Warehouse is local.
Where are my costs off?
