Good advice. Don't let folks completely scare you off of the crystal. Just use it with a light touch and know why you're adding a particular grade.
I agree, Steve. I like crystal with a light touch - I just think it gets way overdone. Too much of a good thing. I like 5% in IPA, even 7% in APA, then dried out with gypsum. I'm more of a 'crystal limiter' than a hater.
