Thanks. I will be trying that next. Did you ever try less soaking time? Is there an advantage to a longer soak? I have never done this. Beer and crabs were meant for each other!

Good luck finding good beer on a cruise ship. Been on 2 Royal Caribbean cruises and about the best you will get is Becks or Heineken. Hopefully that's changed for you. I lived on Capt. Morgan for 10 days the last time! Sent from my iPad using Home Brew
