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.

Notes

It's been too long since I've had a Frootwood; this was built based on what I could remember!

Oats give it a very thick mouth feel, the wood will come through with age. Keep it light on the lactose so you don't lose the tartness of the cherries.
