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

Steep grain in 1 gal of 153°F (67°C) water for 30 minutes, then raise the temperature to 168°F (76°C). Remove the bag, rinse the grains, add 4 gallons, bring to a boil and add DME and hops.

Whirlpool 160-170 for 20 min.

Fermentation temperature in the 66–68°F range. Add the dry hops 3 days before packaging.
