You don't really see much Light on most grocery store shelves, though you might see some Dark. Quite curious to see how my only really good Delicate/Light batch will do, if I am able to enter it anywhere this year.
Wondering if Bruce Leggett, with his massive amounts of syrup knowledge and experience entering fairs, will chime in?
