and it looks yummy. I've only got about 25 batches under my belt, separated by quite a few years, first few in mid 80's right after school, then an 18-20 year "kid break" been on a once every 6-7 weeks schedule for a while. Mostly stouts or porters. Did a double IPA couple months ago that came out nice.

Have you seen the Simply. Beer. extract kits? very inexpensive and have been thinking about using those for "experiments" just can't find a way to confirm if they have refined sugar additives - don't want that.
