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

steeping grains into a grain bag, 3 gals water, bring up to 170 then remove grain bag. bring to a boil.
add DME
add Cascade hops
be sure to use unfiltered, non-pasteurized natural honey, locally sourced
the later you add the honey to the boil, the more pronounced the honey flavor and aroma in the finished product
add Sterling hops at 50 min mark
add honey at 50 min mark at the latest
add Irish Moss at 50 min mark

1 week in primary fermenter
1 week in secondary fermenter
bottle and age for a minimum of 2 weeks

sweet honey aroma, light hop note from the Sterling, pours golden and clear, good initial head that tapers off. powerful sweet honey flavor, crisp dry finish. ABV is high, this beer will sneak-up, tap your shoulder and knock your block off.
