WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

FG: 1.014 at 68 deg F
ABV: 4.07%

First all grain recipe.
Used Robobrew v3 with stainless steel wort chiller.
Mash base malt for 60 min. Steep specialty grains separately in 2.5 gal water (30 min at 165-170 deg F). Rinsed base malt with only 0.5 gal water because specialty malt water will add much more to wort.
Bring to boil, had boil over before so hops.
Cool with wort chiller. Used sink with cold water and recirculating pump for water. Added two ice blocks to water once wort chilled a bit. Got to 76 deg F before pitching yeast. Sanitized test packages but once dropped. Used other and then added rest of one that dropped.
Ferment in plastic bucket with spigot. Ferment in kegerator. No temperature controller so occasionally turn fridge on and off. Beer was at 68 deg F after first day.
