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 for 7 days or until fermentation slows. Rack onto Cascade hops in secondary and dry hop for 14 days, or until fermentation stops.

Add Gelatin (optional) and cold crash for 3 days, transfer and bottle. Condition for 21 days, chill for 3 days, enjoy.

This is a beautiful Pale Ale, tons of hop nose and flavor. SUPER easy to brew, and drink! This is one of my favorite summer brews...HG
