Looks great....I think, but how accurate is the caloric value of each beer!? It is saying almost 200 calories per brew and while I know I am sounding like a bit of bi**h here, but is that accurate?? that seems incredibly high for a single beer. Anyway just wondering and also if you can comment on the recipe to make sure I am not super far off I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks,
