WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode.

June 21, Racked to the second carboy and put in the fridge for second fermentation. Left for vacation for 6 weeks. O.G. 1.013.
Aug. 3rd, Pitched 5.4oz. corn sugar and Bottled 24 pints, 4 bombers and 1 growler. F.G. 1.00099!!
Clean and smooth flavor.
