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.

Sparge with 2.38575 gals (9.543qt) of 168-172° F water (add near boiling). Vorlauf 2-4qt and let drain at a trickle.
Sparge once more with 2.38575 gals (9.543qt) of 168-172° F water (add near boiling). Vorlauf 2-4qt and let drain at a trickle.

10 mins prior to flame out add second addition of Heather flowers.
10 mins prior to flame out, submerge wort chiller in wort.
At flame out, whirlpool. Cool to 69° F. to pitch starter. Oxygenate-aerate well.

Ferment at 69° F for seven days then rack to secondary fermenter and "dry hop" with remaining Heather.
Continue fermentation for seven more days until gravity is about 3° Plato (1.012) or fermentation is finished. Let settle. Rack, prime and bottle. Age seven more days before drinking. Or Keg and drink in a few days.

---------------------------------------

This is my signature Heather Ale. On 09/11/12 I was able to brew this with 73% efficiency. Not bad for a high gravity beer.
