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

Added Imperial A20 Citrus and Mangrove Jack's M21 to 1.2 L starter. Make sure to use all or at least partial of Bestmalz Pilsen, because I originally used Canada Malting Superior Pilsen alone and did not have enough diastatic power for saccharification.
