Two Lions

Somewhere along here I had a thought.  A very dangerous thing a thought.  You never know where it will take you.  My thought was why not just use two cans from a kit instead of buying a separate malt can.  The reason for the thought is that the local grocery store was unloading some kits for $5/each.  That would be about 1/4 the normal price.

2x Lion's Dark Kits
100g Crystal Malt
2 pieces of licorice

You probably know this by heart now.  Crack the grain, steep the grain, boil the malt (which is the wort) add the licorice, put in the primary, fill with water toss on the yeast ...
