I have been looking at a recipe for a butterbeer (from Harry Potter). The full recipe, which I will post below, says to use a pound and half of butterscotch extract. I feel that this is a little excessive and might be a typo. I was hoping to get some input as to if it might be right. It is for a 5 gallon batch. Thanks for any help I'm kinda new to this.
