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

Actually used Wyeast NB 1965 (Northern Brewer exclusive)

This turned out fantastic!! Everyone who drank it was a huge fan. The whole batch is pretty much gone in less than a week.

This is a lightly bittered, smooth, light and crisp ale. Enjoy!
