It should not take 18.5 cups. Your calculations must be wrong.

1/2 cup per gallon gives approx 1.025.

Maybe I'm wrong but that seems way far off.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
