i'm brewing this tonight.
in the video on the white house website, it seems like i remembered them putting a quart of honey in there, which according to the quart i picked up at the farmers market, is 2.25 lbs. plugging that into beersmith, i'm coming out with an abv of 8.5%..... so, looks like i'll be adding the pound that came with the kit, which drops the abv down to 6.5%.
hopefully this will be ready to celebrate with the night of the election.
