  ton of.Let's ...

  I'm still thinking it is those 2 pounds of crystal malt. That is a lot for a 5 gallon
  recipe.steve

  Crystal malt extract doesn't ferment. (Even if it is you that extracts it.) If you used 2

  How does lighter fluid taste anyway?I thought I would drop in and add my two cents.I posted an
