i just scored some in the off-season (not christmas) good stuff really sugar malt hops coloring and flavoring (tastes like fig or prune or pear) ill take a look at the label and try to hack it out or order it from here http://www.marinamarket.com/istar.asp?a=6&id=4032

try xylitol instead of sugar as it has fewer calories/gram and will help drop the calorie count per bottle or serving fyi yest doesnt feed on xylitol well so a ratio of 1:1 xylitol:sucrose should help

nice one i like it. very old school.

you dont have to hydrate, it depends on the yeast you are using. if its dehyrated yeast you should hydrate so that the cell walls of the yeast can function properly. if its a liquid yeast this is less important. it also makes fermentation go a bit faster. i use fleishman's regular bakers yeast...
