Added DME
As this is my 6th batch, I am adding 1 cup of extra light DME. Even though all the other batches have been fine, I want to see if this improves the body at all. I sampled before I pitched and it was good. Its fermenting nicely. I hope it clears well with the DME.
Ill keep you all posted on the final product.

Dried Malt Extract. I added one cup into the 4 gallon mix of Skeeter Pee. I didn't want to add too much, just a little to experiment on what it would do to the Pee. The original recipe is great, but as a lot of people do, I am tweaking the recipe. If it's no good, I'm only out $4.

DME is supposed to add some body/mouthfeel, kinda like bananas in country wines..
Being extra light, it wont be contributing much if any color - but there are darker ones that would. They also have different flavors as it gets darker
Curious to see how this turns out
