well, ive bought a few flavorings; Brewers best and LD carson brands. All the bottle says is " for 5 gallons or .7%" well im flavoring by quarts, and im confused on the preparation, amounts, and everything else about it
I have been sweetening some of my shine with a simple sugar sryup. Any sugestions anyone? All advice is helpful!
