I don't know what batch size you are making, but 12 oz DME for a 5g batch seems to be rather excessive. I admit that I hardly ever brew anything that strong, and I measure my priming by fractions of cups instead of ounces.

I may be wrong (it wouldn't be the first time), but I hope you have a kevlar vest and safety glasses.
