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

4 oz of Elder Flower was placed in Mason jar and covered with vodka to help release oils for 1 week before adding after the secondary fermentation inside of a hop screen.
