Comments: Just sampled my first bottle and this stuff goes down easy. The estimated final color was about 10 SRM but this came in at about a 12. Next time I might eliminate the light liquid extra in favor of dry extra light. Its what I had on hand at the time. Poured with a 2 finger head that seemed to stick around forever. Poured crystal clear with no chill haze. The reason I make note of sanitation above is I do not believe in no-rinse chemical sanitizers as they are a lazy approach and do (from my perspective) impart slight flavors to the beer.
