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

Meant to be an Irish Red, but I had some leftover peated malt to add, which made it a Scottish Red, at least by my reckoning. Turned out really good!
