Any red flags popping up for anyone? Any suggestions anyone wants to make?
 
So I take it my recipe is perfect and an eventual gold medal winner. I'll go with it as is. :D
 
Why vary from the CYBI recipe if you're looking for a clone? I don't remember the episode, but didn't they get the exact recipe from the brewery?
