I primed this with DME, 1/2 in bottles and 1/2 in my new Party Pig. For the pig I used apx. .481 cups DME (1 tsp. short of 1/2 a cup) and apx. .625 cups for the bottles. This is a GREAT summer brew that is good after 10 days but excellent after another week. The DME gave it a very creamy head with tiny bubbles.
