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

Ferment in primary for 7 days, or until fermentation slows. Rack to secondary and dry hop for 14 days.

Add Gelatin (optional) 3 days prior to bottling and cold crash in fridge (really clears up the beer).

Bottle and condition 21 days at room temp. Chill 3 days..enjoy!
