I wanted to add. Someone asked me what it tastes like:
If a unicorn took a piss and then some yeast fell off the wings of a fairy and fermented it, the result would be skeeter pee.
I recently tried making my first batch of skeeter pee and I couldnt find a lot of specifics on how long it took to get to various gravities and overall time line so here is mine. I did rush this as I am trying to get it ready for a wedding.

I have a light beer I brew for my friends that like BMC, I may even like it too. It is just extra pale lme, corn syrup, beano, and white labs super yeast. I brew this using all extract to cut down on the time it takes to put it together.
