  Excellent answer! Thank you so much. The kit does also come with isinglass for when

  my google search mad...

  Thanks for the replies everyone, and I didn't mean to get people arguing. As idiotic as I feel

  I have a 12 pack of summit winter sampler, and for washing down my ridiculously hot wings, a
