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

Boil malts 30 minutes before starting hop schedule. At 30 min mark, add all hops and boil for 90 more minutes.

Ferment at 68 for 2 weeks. Transfer to secondary and dry hop and add champagne yeast.

Condition cool (50-55) for 6 to 8 weeks.

Prime, bottle, and age 45-50 for 8 months...

WORTH THE WAIT!! I PROMISE...:)
