Notes

Add 1/2 campden tablet, crushed, to 3 gal distilled water and heat. Add sugars and bring to boil for 60 minutes. Bring 2.25 gal distilled water and 1/2 campden tablet to boil for 15 minutes, just long enough to sterilize. Cool wort and top fermentor off to 5.5 gallons with sterilized water. Pitch and ferment at 70. Add RB extract and priming sugar at bottling.
