I'd add Give yourself plenty of time , and keep everything clean and sterile ( it's worth mentioning twice )

You just run it all together when you say it: "IrishCraftBrewer" (or, in my accent, "aaashcrafbruuur"), and add a "dot com" if it still sounds wrong.

He was interested in the cost per pint for the three main methods. I said about 50 cent a bottle for kit and about 25 to 35 cent for All grain, but not sure about extract? Can anyone give an estimate?[/quote:3o1xqoku]
I can help ya there! For my last 3 brews the cost per 500ml bottle has been. 0.49c, 0.47c and 0.63c, with the last one being a highly hopped beer which made it slightly more expensive.

It's also worth noting that I got the Spraymalt quite cheap from HBW at the time so that brought down the costs. So you'd probably have to add another 10 to 15c per bottle depending on how cheap you can source the Spraymalt.
